This is a change in the dynamic of the travel industry in the region, which we welcome at SalamAir. Starting direct daily flights between Muscat and Kuwait City is in line with our strategy to offer both leisure and business travellers new flight alternatives at record low prices while ensuring elevated levels of service, convenience and comfort.”
Opening its first office in Kuwait, SalamAir has collaborated with full-service travel management company, Boodai Aviation Group. Located at the Avenues mall, the office will offer a full range of services including reservations and ticketing, itinerary changes, purchase of value-added options, as well as provide guests with general information and support to better plan their travels.

SalamAir recently became the first Oman-based carrier to receive the new Airbus A320neo aircraft making it one of the early Middle East recipients and operators of the highly rated model. In addition to the delivered aircraft, another five Airbus A320neo are expected to join SalamAir’s fleet in 2019.
