Oman Air achieves threefold increase in point-to-point traffic

Oman Air has seen a significant increase in point-to-point passengers, rising from 75,000 in June 2024 to 200,000 in June 2025, marking a near threefold increase. Point-to-point traffic - passengers flying directly into Oman rather connecting onwards - now accounts for 58 per cent of the airline's total flight loads. Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer at Oman Air, said: 'A core pillar of our strategy is to increase point-to-point traffic; not simply by adding more flights, but by ensuring each flight brings more visitors directly to the country. The growth we have achieved is the direct result of careful route planning, targeted marketing, and a network strategy that prioritises stable demand over aspiration. Our approach not only supports national tourism goals, but also drives a stronger revenue performance for the airline, which in turn will enable us to open new routes sustainably. We remain focused on keeping travel to Oman both accessible and attractive, while delivering on our promise to be an engine of Oman's tourism growth.'

Muscat Municipality Chairman reviews progress on Al Ansab–Al Jifnain road dualisation: 58% complete

Muscat: As part of his ongoing field visits to monitor development and service projects in the Wilayat of Bausher, His Excellency Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Humaidi, Chairman of Muscat Municipality, visited the Al Ansab to Al Jifnain Road Dualisation Project site last Wednesday to assess progress. This major infrastructure project aims to ease traffic congestion and support the area's growing needs. The 15-kilometre route involves expanding the existing single-lane road from Falaj Al Sham Roundabout into a dual carriageway with three lanes in each direction. The project also includes converting four roundabouts into multi-level interchanges, constructing three flyovers connected to the Al Jifnain Bridge, and installing smart traffic signal systems at key intersections to improve traffic flow and safety. The scope also encompasses 20 kilometres of service roads adjacent to the main carriageway, the installation of box culverts for stormwater and wadi drainage at critical points, and the relocation and protection of utility lines to prevent disruption to progress. His Excellency commended the project team and the contractor for their dedication, noting that work has reached 58 per cent completion, which is ahead of expectations. He said this progress reflects strong on-site supervision and effective coordination between all parties, which could lead to the project finishing ahead of schedule in August 2026. The Al Ansab to Al Jifnain Road Dualisation Project was awarded in September 2023, with an expected execution period of 36 months. It forms part of a wider programme of strategic development projects in Muscat Governorate, in line with Royal directives to improve road infrastructure and enhance connections between Muscat and other governorates.

Vodafone Oman invites everyone to ‘Live It Right' this Khareef

Muscat: Vodafone is returning to Dhofar this Khareef with a renewed vision for the season. Under the theme 'Live it Right', the 2025 campaign builds on the company's long-standing commitment to bringing people together in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and memorable through seamless digital connectivity, purpose-led community engagement, and hospitality rooted in place. 'Each year, Khareef becomes an opportunity for us to deepen our presence, not just through visibility, but through value', said Usama Al Saifi, Vodafone Oman's Head of Brand and Communications. ''Live it Right' is our response to evolving expectations in Dhofar, and a reflection of how we see technology, culture, and community coming together. Whether it's through a stronger network, smarter products, or engaging spaces, our aim is to show what Khareef is all about.' Bringing this vision to life, 'Live it Right' introduces immersive spaces designed to deliver interactive and memorable experiences for Khareef visitors across Dhofar. These include eight unique activation zones in key locations such as Al Haffa, Ittin, and Al Dahareez. The main highlight this year is Vodafone's Viewpoint at Samharam Resort in Awqad, held in collaboration with local SMEs 'Estikana' and 'Ladh'. This social hub serves as a physical extension of the campaign message, offering a haven where digital and real-world connections come together, and where everyday stops become moments of recharge, reflection, and simple pleasure. Complementing the experience, Vodafone's 5G network continues to be a driving force behind the season. As Oman's only fully digital network, it offers high-speed, low-latency 5G connectivity across key areas in Dhofar, supporting the movement, pace, and spontaneity that define Khareef. From coastal roads to mountain peaks, the network ensures that residents and visitors stay connected with ease and reliability. Supporting this is Makani Internet, Vodafone's portable connectivity solution that adapts to life on the move, allowing users to stay online wherever the season takes them. To further enhance the visitor experience, Vodafone has introduced a dedicated Khareef Visitor Pack starting from OMR 10. Designed for maximum convenience, it offers unlimited data and local calls plus international minutes, so travellers can explore Dhofar without interruption or worry.
