Saalah: Salalah Airport received the first direct flight of Belarusian airline Belavia, connecting Salalah Airport with Minsk International Airport in Belarus.
The new flight, which will operate once a week, is part of Oman Airports' efforts to enhance direct air links between the Sultanate of Oman and a number of tourist destinations in Eastern Europe.
The resumption of these flights comes within the framework of the growing relations between the Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Belarus, which are witnessing rapid development at various levels, especially after the official visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to the Republic of Belarus recently.
The visit contributed to opening wider horizons for bilateral cooperation in the economic, tourism and investment fields.
Oman Airports affirmed that the resumption of these direct flights is a qualitative addition to the air connectivity network and enhances the status of Dhofar Governorate as a global tourist destination, especially during the Khareef season, which witnesses an increasing influx of visitors from various countries around the world. This cooperation also reflects European airlines' interest in expanding their destinations to the Sultanate of Oman, given its unique tourism and natural resources.
