Oman Air will launch direct flights to Amsterdam on July 1 and increase cargo capacity to London Heathrow this winter.

The Amsterdam route will operate four days a week, served by Oman Air's B787-9 fleet, offering 14 to 18 metric tonnes in each direction.

Double daily flights on the Muscat-London Heathrow route will also be relaunched in October this year, also operated by the carrier's B787-9 fleet.

The second flight on the route will initially be added four days a week, with a view to increasing to 14 flights a week by summer 2026.

"The launch of our Amsterdam service, along with increased frequencies to London, means we can offer our cargo customers greater flexibility and a wider global reach, supported by our modern fleet," said Michael Duggan, head of cargo, Oman Air.

"We are proud to offer a high-quality, reliable service through our efficient, temperature-controlled cargo terminal in Muscat, and the new routes are an opportunity for us to boost our cargo offering," he added.
