Air India Express to add new flights from Oman

Muscat: More Indian cities will be connected by Air India Express, the low-cost arm of the national carrier of India, Air India from Muscat.

Speaking to Times of Oman, B B Kulkarni, country manager of Air India and Air India Express, said that they are planning to add a few more destinations from Muscat.  "These destinations will be added once they lease new aircraft," he said.

It was learnt that Air India Express may add Lucknow and Amritsar to its growing network from Muscat. While Oman Air currently flies to Lucknow, there are no direct flights to Amritsar which is home to Sikhism's holiest shrine, the Golden Temple, one of India's most serene and humbling sights.

"No time period has been fixed but we are planning to add Lucknow while a route study for an Amritsar-Muscat flight is under way," added Kulkarni.
