Safety concerns behind the decision
Airlines operating across the Middle East have been adjusting flight routes and schedules as geopolitical tensions and airspace restrictions continue to disrupt established corridors. With several routes temporarily unavailable, airlines have had to cancel or reroute flights to ensure passenger and crew safety.
Officials from Oman Air said the current situation has made certain routes inaccessible, prompting the temporary suspension of services to the affected destinations.
Additional flights on alternate routes
To minimise disruption for travellers, Oman Air has scheduled additional flights on routes where operations remain possible. These flights are aimed at helping accommodate passengers whose travel plans have been impacted.
Travellers are advised to check the airline’s website or mobile app for the latest schedule updates.
Advisory for passengers
Passengers who have already booked tickets on the affected routes can manage their bookings and rebook flights through the airline’s official website or mobile app.
Oman Air has apologised for the inconvenience caused and thanked passengers for their understanding and cooperation during this period.
