Oman Air is looking to capitalise on the Gulf state's appeal as a largely untapped tourism destination as it launches flights from Muscat to Singapore on Thursday and considers an expansion to North Asia over the next year, its CEO said.
The new nonstop Singapore service is underpinned by a lower cost base and the airline's year-old membership in the oneworld alliance to aid with connections, as serving the city-state with a stopover in Kuala Lumpur failed nine years ago, Oman Air CEO Con Korfiatis said in an interview.
