SalamAir sets course for Austria: First-ever non-stop flights between Vienna and Muscat, Oman
               
A new airline and an expanded destination portfolio at Vienna Airport: Starting 24 June 2026, SalamAir will connect Austria’s largest airport with Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, three times a week. This marks the first time Oman will be directly accessible from Vienna by non-stop flight. The new route opens up a rapidly emerging travel destination in the Middle East, renowned for its dramatic desert landscapes, mountain ranges, pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage. Oman’s low-cost carrier will operate its inaugural services to Austria using a state-of-the-art Airbus A321neo. istoriSala
 
“Direct flights to Muscat are a major milestone – for our route network, for Austria as a tourism destination and for Vienna Airport’s international positioning. Oman is one of the most exciting destinations in the Middle East, offering a unique blend of culture, nature and future growth potential. With SalamAir, we are opening up this market for the first time with a non-stop connection from Vienna. This not only strengthens our international offering, but also underlines Vienna’s attractiveness as a gateway to new and emerging markets,” says Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.
 
Commenting on the launch, Steven Allen, Chief Commercial Officer of SalamAir, said: “The launch of our non-stop service between Muscat and Vienna marks an important milestone in SalamAir’s European expansion and establishes a new direct air link between Austria and the Sultanate of Oman. This route reflects our commitment to opening new gateways between key markets, offering travelers greater choice and direct access between the two destinations. We are pleased to bring Vienna onto our network and to strengthen connectivity between Central Europe and the Middle East through our home base in Muscat.”
 
Muscat – gateway to the Sultanate of Oman
With Muscat, one of the most fascinating destinations on the Arabian Peninsula will soon be directly reachable from Vienna. Oman’s capital impresses visitors with landmarks such as the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the historic old town and the traditional Mutrah Souk. Beyond the city, spectacular natural scenery awaits: from endless sand dunes and rugged mountain ranges to secluded beaches along the Indian Ocean, the Sultanate offers ideal conditions for nature-based travel, cultural tourism and relaxation.
