Oman Air to Zanzibar

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has re-commenced its services between Muscat and Zanzibar.  Flights will operate non-stop from Muscat to Zanzibar three times a week on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays.  Zanzibar represents the airline’s third destination in Africa and second in Tanzania.

Historically Oman has strong links with Zanzibar.  The East African island, now part of the Republic of Tanzania, was for 300 years ruled by the Sultan of Oman, and a centre for trade and commerce along the coast.  Tourism has long since replaced dhow-building as the town’s major industry, but the essence of Zanzibar’s olden days and its cultural heritage can still be found.

Oman Air offers both internet and in-flight phone connectively on its long haul services.  Two years ago it unveiled its new, lie-flat Business Class seat, which offers greater levels of comfort and amenity than many other airlines’ First Class products and is fitted on all the new Airbus wide-body fleet. www.omanalr.com
