Oman expected to extend ban on scheduled flights

The ban on scheduled flights from Oman is expected to continue for some time, with announcement still awaited, local media reported.

According to available data, the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) guidelines for airlines operating to and from Oman, which ends today, will be extended until further notice.

However, the unscheduled and special flights to facilitate the travel of citizens and foreigners between the Sultanate and various countries will continue during this period. Flights that pass the Omani airspace, domestic services to Khasab airports and oil concession areas will continue to operate as per the guidelines laid out by the government.
