Oman Air to launch Muscat - Ras Al Khaimah Flights

Oman Air is to launch daily flights between Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, and Ras Al Khaimah, in the UAE, on 2 May 2010. Ras Al Khaimah will be the airline's 34th destination worldwide and the third in the United Arab Emirates, the other two being Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Peter Hill Oman Air’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Ras Al Khaimah is the 4th largest emirate in the UAE in terms of area and population and is a growing leisure destination. Oman Air’s foray into this new destination is sure to open a new market both for inbound and outbound travellers.”

Currently, Oman Air flies to 32 destinations with Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia joining the network from 1 May 2010. Going forward, Oman Air will also commence flights to Al Ain, Lahore, Islamabad, Dar-Es-Salaam, and Kathmandu, and Milan will join the network in the Winter Schedule.

Ras Al Khaimah has 64 kilometers of beach along the clear blue Persian Gulf. Among the many tourists attractions there is an 18-hole Golf course shaped around a large open salt water lagoon.

The new route will be operated by Oman Air’s ATR aircraft.
