Middle East and North Africas low-cost carrier (LCC), Air Arabia, announced that Sohar will become the third destination to join its Oman network from July 9, 2017.
The new route complements Air Arabias existing operations in Oman to Muscat and Salalah, boosts travel and trade opportunities between the two Gulf countries, and provides hassle-free travel options to the residents of Sohar.
The flight will operate three times a week, on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays, departing Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) at 08:00 hours, and arriving at Sohar International Airport (OHS) at 08:40 local time. The return flight will depart Sohar at 09:20, landing in Sharjah at 10:00 local time.
Adel Al Ali, group chief executive officer of Air Arabia, said: Announcing a third destination to Oman is a testament to our strong commitment to facilitate passenger travel between Oman and the UAE. We are proud to be one of the first international carriers to operate from Sohar International Airport, and look forward to extending our offerings to passengers flying with us between both cities and across our expansive route network.
Air Arabia currently operates flights to over 130 routes across the globe from five hubs located in the Middle East and North Africa.
