The airline said that flights to India are subject to Indian authorities lifting restrictions for scheduled international passenger flights.

Guests can book these tickets by contacting its call centers or via travel agents too.

With regards to the safety precautions in place, it said that masks are required to be worn on board the aircraft and in Oman’s airports.

Physical distancing will be enforced while guests board and exit the aircraft, which are cleaned after each flight and at the end of every day.

Cabin crew all also wear personal protective equipment, and the meal service has been modified to adapt to the current precautionary measures.

Earlier this week, Oman’s Supreme Committee confirmed that it had decided to allow airports to reopen for regular commercial international passenger operations beginning October 1, 2020.
