Oman Air celebrates 25 years connecting Muscat and Kochi

Today, it remains one of Oman Air’s strongest-performing routes, with up to 14 flights operating each week. 

Oman Air is celebrating 25 years of flights between Muscat and Kochi, marking a quarter century of connecting Oman to the heart of Kerala. 

Since launching the service in 2001, Oman Air has carried thousands of passengers between the two cities and strengthened the longstanding ties between Oman and India. Today, it remains one of Oman Air’s strongest-performing routes, with up to 14 flights operating each week, reflecting the sustained demand and enduring importance of the connection. 

Ahmed Al Mahrouqi, Vice President Global Sales at Oman Air, said, “Celebrating 25 years of flying to Kochi is a significant milestone for Oman Air and one that reflects the strength and longevity of the relationship between Oman and Kerala, and more broadly, India. As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening connectivity between our two countries and delivering the distinctive travel experience our guests expect from Oman Air.” 

Coinciding with the anniversary, Oman Air honoured its trade partners and associations while also celebrating the vibrant Onam festival along with a traditional Onam Sadhya. This milestone event was held on August 18, 2026, at TDM Hall in Kochi. 

Meanwhile, India remains a key part of Oman Air’s 49-destination global network, with its Muscat-Mumbai route having marked 30 years in 2025.
