SalamAir, the low-cost carrier based in Oman, is set to continue its strategic fleet expansion with the upcoming delivery of its 15th aircraft in June 2025—an Airbus A321 acquired on lease from SMBC Aviation Capital (Ireland). A second A321 is also scheduled to arrive in July, further strengthening the airline’s mid-capacity aircraft portfolio.
SalamAir (Oman) has announced the appointment of Steven Allen as its new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Allen will lead the airline’s commercial division, focusing on network expansion, revenue optimization, and strategic partnerships.
SalamAir (Oman) has agreed with Embraer to postpone the delivery of six E195-E2 aircraft, citing operational challenges related to engine performance in hot and dusty environments. The aircraft were initially scheduled for delivery in 2024, but the airline has decided to defer them until a later date.
SalamAir is taking steps to expand its fleet, formally requesting 10 Airbus A320 aircraft from multiple leasing companies. This initiative is a key part of the airline’s strategic growth plan for the next five years, aimed at increasing capacity and meeting rising passenger demand.
