SalamAir resumes Tehran-Muscat flights with residency restrictions

SalamAir has resumed flights between Tehran and Muscat, restoring air connectivity between Iran and Oman. The airline is scheduled to operate these flights every Sunday and Friday from Imam Khomeini International Airport.

However, new passenger acceptance criteria limit who can use these services. According to the airline's announcement, Iranian passport holders without valid Omani residency are not permitted to board. Eligible passengers include Omani citizens, holders of valid Omani residency cards, individuals with two-year resident visas, and citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states. Consequently, Iranian travelers intending to visit Oman without existing residency cannot utilize this specific flight route.
