SalamAir To Lease Three A330neos From Avolon

Omani LCC SalamAir signed a letter of intent to lease three Airbus A330neos from Dublin-based lessor Avolon on the first day of the Paris Air Show. 

First delivery is expected to be in October 2023. The A330neos feature a dual-class configuration with 365 economy seats and 12 premium flatbed seats.

SalamAir CEO Mohamed Ahmed said the decision to introduce the A330neo complements the carrier’s existing fleet of Airbus aircraft, which includes the A320neo, A321neo and an A321 freighter. 

“By adding the A330neo to the fleet, SalamAir aims to enhance its capacity, meet the growing demands of the market, and attract more inbound tourists, aligning with the objectives of Oman's Vision 2040,” he said. “The extended range of the A330neo will allow SalamAir to efficiently serve medium-range destinations, particularly in the Far East and Europe. This expanded reach not only improves passenger convenience but also enhances the airline's competitiveness in the market. It enables SalamAir to strengthen its network and seize opportunities for further growth and expansion.”
