Omani airline SalamAir has expanded its regional operations through the resumption of services to Iran and the launch of new routes to Syria.

In late October 2026, the airline resumed flights between Tehran and Muscat, operating every Sunday and Friday from Imam Khomeini International Airport. These services are subject to specific passenger restrictions: Iranian passport holders must possess valid Omani residency to board. Eligible travelers include Omani citizens, GCC citizens, and holders of valid Omani residency cards or two-year resident visas.

Simultaneously, SalamAir launched a new service between Muscat and Damascus, marking the first time an Omani carrier has served Syria. Operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the route aims to facilitate trade, air freight, and business travel, supporting Syria’s efforts to revive international air traffic.
