Oman Air has announced the addition of a twice-weekly service to the Indian cities of Chennai and Hyderabad, with service set to start on 19 November. This service will expand the carrier’s cargo network to endeavour to keep goods moving despite second wave lockdowns across the world disrupting air travel and trade.

Flights to and from both cities will be operated on Thursdays and Saturdays. These schedules are confirmed until 31 December, 2020. Additional information is available at omanair.com, the airline’s offices and travel agents.

Oman Air has outlined it will maintain a comprehensive safety program throughout all elements of the travel journey to ensure that guests fly confidently. Masks are required when guests are on board the aircraft and in Oman’s airports. Distancing is maintained while guests board and exit the aircraft, which are carefully cleaned after each flight and at the end of every day. Cabin crew all wear a full set of personal protective equipment, meal service has been modified to increase safety and a number of other steps have been taken to ensure that the airline’s guests and crew are safe at all times.
