Muscat, The Gulf Observer: Oman Air has unveiled its most significant new route in five years, announcing the launch of direct flights between Muscat and Rome, starting 20 December 2024. The airline will operate four weekly flights, marking the first-ever direct connection between the Omani capital and the Italian capital, offering greater connectivity to its expansive network across the Far East, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, the Indian Subcontinent, and beyond.
