Oman Air and Adhwaa Al Ardh Al Satiaa have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring 30,000 visitors from Indonesia to Salalah in 2027, supporting Oman’s tourism growth and strengthening its position as a leading destination.
Under the agreement,
Adhwaa Al Ardh Al Satiaa will purchase 30,000 seats on Oman Air flights from
Jakarta to Salalah via Muscat. Each booking will include tourism packages
highlighting Dhofar’s natural attractions, culture, heritage and hospitality.
The partnership aims
to capitalise on growing demand from Southeast Asia, diversify visitor markets
and increase arrivals beyond traditional peak tourism seasons, supporting
year-round tourism development.
Dr. Salim Al Shanfari, Chairman of Adhwaa
Al Ardh Al Satiaa, said: " We are proud to partner with Oman Air on this
landmark initiative. Oman offers a unique combination of natural beauty,
authentic culture and renowned hospitality that resonates strongly with
Indonesian travellers. Through the comprehensive tourism packages developed
under this agreement, we aim to make Oman more accessible than ever while
delivering memorable experiences that encourage visitors to discover not only
Salalah, but the wider Sultanate."
Ahmed Al Mahrouqi, Vice President of Global
Sales at Oman Air, added: " This agreement demonstrates the important role
strategic partnerships play in opening Oman to new international markets and
supporting the continued growth of our tourism sector. Indonesia represents a
market of significant potential, and by working closely with Adhwaa Al Ardh Al
Satiaa, we are creating new pathways for visitors to experience the
extraordinary attractions of Salalah and Oman. Partnerships such as this help
us drive inbound tourism, support local businesses and advance our shared
ambition of positioning Oman as a compelling year-round destination." -TradeArabia News Service
