Oman Air Celebrates 30 Years of Service to Mumbai

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, proudly marks 30 years of operations between Muscat and Mumbai. The second Indian destination to be introduced after Thiruvananthapuram in 1993, Mumbai has since grown into a cornerstone of the airline’s network with 12 flights per week. Over the last three decades Oman Air has significantly expanded its footprint across India, strengthening air links that support business, tourism, and community ties between the two countries. Currently, the airline operates 168 flights per week between Muscat and 10 cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Calicut and Goa.

Speaking on the occasion, Sunil V.A., Regional Vice President for the Indian Subcontinent at Oman Air, said: “This anniversary is more than a celebration of flights, it’s a celebration of friendship and trust. India has been one of our most important markets, and Mumbai holds a special place in our network. As we continue to evolve as a premium global carrier and a proud oneworld member, we remain committed to elevating our relationship with India and offering exceptional, world-class travel experiences to our guests.”

The milestone comes at an exciting time for Oman Air with its recent entry into the oneworld® alliance. With access to a network of over 900 destinations worldwide, the airline is now better positioned than ever to offer its Indian guests’ greater global connectivity, streamlined travel benefits, and enhanced service. Meanwhile, Oman Air, which recently won Best Food & Beverage and Best Cabin Service in the Middle East at the Apex 2025 Awards, continues to deliver a guest-centric journey that blends authentic Omani hospitality with world-class service standards.
