Muscat, 23 December 2024 – SalamAir, Oman’s low-cost airline, is excited to launch three products designed to enhance our passenger’s travel experience. Starting January 2025, SalamAir will offer Express Bag, Priority, and Online Check-In services, providing travelers with more flexibility and options to tailor their journeys to suit their individual needs. These services will be available for bookings made through all of SalamAir’s booking channels.
SalamAir is focused on reinventing its approach to travel and is introducing a lower fare structure that provides passengers greater opportunities to save on travel costs. As part of this change, passengers can now save 1OMR from the cost of travel by checking in online. “We believe in letting passengers choose what products they want when they fly”, said Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO of SalamAir. “Passengers should have the opportunity to reduce their cost of travel and only pay for what they want. Our first step on this path is to enable passengers to reduce their cost of travel by using online check-in. Passengers can choose to check-in at the airport if they wish, but there will be a charge applied to enable the airline to recover the cost of providing that service.”
In addition to this initiative, SalamAir is introducing two other innovative products:
- Express Bag: Passengers can book this product to ensure their bag is among the first to arrive at their destination. This product provides our passengers with fast baggage delivery on arrival, allowing them to enjoy their travel without a long wait at a baggage belt.
- Priority: Passengers can now choose to take an extra 10kg bag on the plane in addition to the 5kg hand baggage each passenger can carry for free. SalamAir’s priority product also includes priority boarding; passengers get to board the plane first, which guarantees they will have overhead space for their bags. Priority also offers a dedicated airport check-in area, making the airport experience easier.
“These new services are designed to provide our passengers with increased choice and flexibility,” said Mr. Hamilton-Manns. “From January, passengers can enjoy more personalization in their travel plans. SalamAir is committed to reducing the cost of travel while providing more options for our customers to tailor their travel needs to meet their personal requirements. With Express Bag, Priority, and Online Check-In, SalamAir has an expanded range of options to make every journey more enjoyable and lower cost.”
