MUSCAT: Oman Air has announced the temporary suspension of its flights to Doha, Dubai, Manama, and Kuwait as a precautionary measure amid rising regional tensions. The national carrier emphasized that the safety of passengers and crew remains its utmost priority and that this proactive decision aligns with its commitment to maintaining the highest operational safety standards. By suspending services to these key destinations, Oman Air aims to mitigate potential risks associated with the evolving security situation in the region.
This suspension affects multiple daily routes connecting Muscat with major Gulf capitals, impacting both leisure and business travelers. Oman Air has advised affected passengers to monitor their bookings through the airline’s official channels and to remain in contact for updates on flight resumption schedules. The carrier’s customer support teams are working around the clock to provide rebooking options, refunds, or alternative travel arrangements to minimize disruption and inconvenience.
Industry analysts view this move as a necessary response to heightened security alerts and the need for airlines to adjust operations swiftly to ensure passenger well-being. Similar steps have been taken by other regional carriers in recent days, reflecting a broader industry trend of prioritizing safety over schedule continuity when geopolitical uncertainties arise. Oman Air continues to coordinate closely with aviation authorities and regional partners to monitor developments and adjust plans accordingly.
Looking ahead, the airline reassures travelers that it is prepared to reinstate normal flight operations as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. Passengers are encouraged to stay informed through the airline’s website and official social media channels for real-time updates. Oman Air thanks its customers for their understanding and patience during this period and remains committed to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality service to all its destinations once normal operations resume.
