Oman’s SalamAir Suspends Flights to India from Oct 1
In a recent announcement, SalamAir, an Oman-based airline, has revealed that it will be suspending its flights to several Indian cities starting October 1. The decision comes as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the Indian government. SalamAir currently operates flights to Jaipur, Lucknow, Kozhikode, and Thiruvananthapuram in India, with flights via Fujairah Airport to three of these cities.
Impact of COVID-19 on Travel
The travel industry has been significantly impacted by the global pandemic, with airlines facing various challenges and restrictions. SalamAir’s decision to suspend flights to India is a direct effect of the current situation and the precautions being taken by countries to prevent the spread of the virus. The airline has taken this step to ensure the safety and well-being of its passengers and to align with the regulations set by the Indian authorities.
Alternative Options for Passengers
While the suspension of flights may cause inconvenience to passengers who had plans to travel between Oman and India, there are alternative options available. Other airlines operating in the region still offer flights to India, allowing passengers to reach their desired destinations. It is advisable for travelers to check with these airlines for available routes and schedules.
Looking Ahead
As the world continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for airlines and passengers alike to stay updated with the latest travel advisories and regulations. The situation remains fluid, and airlines may need to make adjustments and decisions based on the changing circumstances. SalamAir will closely monitor the situation and reassess its operations to India accordingly.
