Oman to restart international flights from October 1

OUR CORRESPONDENT

The Supreme Committee tasked with tackling developments resulting from Covid-19 which met on September 7 under the Chairmanship of Sayyid Hamoud bin Faisal al-Busaidi, Minister of Interior, has decided to set October 1 as the date for starting scheduled international flights. This will be in accordance with health data about specific destinations and in line with agreements with other aviation companies.

Hence, it is likely that Oman will categorise destinations based on the scale of the coronavirus outbreak in each country.

Oman had closed its airports in March following the outbreak of the pandemic.

Flights have remained open for citizens and residents, and anyone entering Oman must quarantine for 14 days, either at home or in a hotel. All foreign citizens arriving in the country must have health insurance. In July, Oman Airports requested bids for the installation of PCR testing solutions, which could mean that travellers will be tested for the virus upon arrival.
