Oman Air, the country’s national carrier, expanded its worldwide network to include popular holiday destination Goa in India, with an inaugural flight in early April.
Speaking in Goa, the airline’s chief executive officer Paul Gregorowitsch said: 'I am delighted that Oman Air is launching this new service between Muscat and Goa. It will be greatly appreciated by travellers in India, in Oman and from throughout our international network.'I was extremely proud to showcase our new aircraft to our Omani Chief Guest, Dr Mohammed bin Nasser Al Zaabi, and to all those who travelled with us on our inaugural flight. 'Furthermore, after landing it was a great honour to be joined by our Goan Chief Guest, Laxmikant Parsekar, who is the Chief Minister of Goa. That two such notable figures should take part in our celebrations demonstrates the strong friendship that exists between Oman and India, and the importance of our new service. On behalf of Oman Air I would like to thank both for committing so much of their valuable time to the launch of our new service.'Goa is Oman Air’s 11th destination in India, just under three hours’ journey, and the new service has been met with strong demand for bookings.***************************************************************************************************************************Deal alertSpecial promotional round-trip, tax-inclusive fares are available for flights between Muscat and Goa with economy class tickets at RO200.3 ($520) per person and business class from RO436.3 ($1,135).***************************************************************************************************************************
