Oman Air has announced five new routes for Oman Air Cargo, expanding its network across key Asian and regional markets.

The expansion, operated using Boeing 737-8 aircraft, adds service from Muscat, Oman, to Singapore and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, alongside routes to Abu Dhabi and Sochi, Russia, as well as a new Salalah, Oman–Dubai connection.

Under the expanded schedule, Oman Air will operate four weekly flights to Singapore, two weekly flights to Tashkent, one weekly flight to Sochi, three weekly flights between Salalah and Dubai, and daily services to Abu Dhabi.

The new Muscat–Tashkent service, launching twice weekly, is expected to support growing trade in perishables and other time-critical commodities. The Muscat–Singapore route, operating four times a week, extends Oman Air Cargo’s reach into one of Asia’s largest air freight hubs, improving access to Southeast Asian markets and onward global connections.

“The five new destinations strengthen the options available to our cargo customers, providing greater connectivity across Asia while supporting the efficient movement of time-sensitive and high-value shipments,” said Mike Duggan, Head of Cargo at Oman Air. “As trade between Oman and Asia continues to grow, expanding our network enables us to offer customers greater flexibility, improved market access and more efficient routing options.” The additions expand Oman Air Cargo’s perishables capability, a key objective in response to their expanding customer base, he added.

Established in 2009, Oman Air Cargo operates a fleet of 737 MAX and 787-9 aircraft, providing cargo connections to more than 200 destinations worldwide through its Muscat hub.
