Oman Air returns to Singapore after almost a decade

Oman Air is growing its network with the launch of nonstop flights to Singapore, marking its return to the market after nearly a decade away.

Starting on the 2nd of July 2026, the four-times-weekly route will link Muscat International Airport (MCT/OOMS) and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN/WSSS) and will be operated by a Boeing 737-8 aircraft. The airline last flew between these destinations in May 2017, and since then, there have been no nonstop flights.

As demand rises for unique destinations and top-notch travel experiences, this service offers more options for both leisure and business travelers, says Oman Air CEO Con Korfiatis. It also strengthens Muscat’s position as a key hub between east and west, providing smooth connections between Asia-Pacific markets and Europe, supported by our Oneworld partners.

The 3,429 mi. (2,980 nm) Muscat–Singapore sector will become Oman Air’s farthest narrowbody route and its fifth-longest overall. The carrier’s current farthest 737-8 service links Muscat with Kuala Lumpur, at 3,235 mi. (2,811 nm), according to OAG Schedules Analyser data.

The Singapore launch comes as Oman Air continues a multi-year transformation aimed at improving profitability and shifting its network toward higher-quality point-to-point traffic.

Oman Air’s upcoming route addition comes after several recent network changes. The Oneworld member began a twice-weekly Muscat-Baghdad-Copenhagen service on the 16th of December and plans to launch three weekly Muscat-Taif flights in January 2026, boosting its footprint in Saudi Arabia. The airline has also upped flights to London Heathrow and brought back services to Zurich.
