Muscat: Oman’s first budget airline – SalamAir – will fly to Tbilisi and Baku this summer, the airline announced on Monday.

Fares to three flights a week to Tbilisi will begin from OMR106 and two flights a week to Baku from OMR121.

The flights will start from June 14 and will operate till September 4, 2018.

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and Baku is the commercial hub of Azerbaijan, which is a low-lying city along the Caspian Sea.

Awarded its air service operator licence by the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) in early 2016, SalamAir's journey started in January, 2017 when it flew from Salalah to Muscat.

The brainchild of ASAAS—a national investment and development company—SalamAir was formed to meet Oman’s rapidly growing demand for air traffic, which is expected to grow by 40 per cent by 2019.
