Oman Air will operate flights between China and Oman for the Ministry of Health, to bring medical supplies and other necessities to support the Sultanate’s needs.

These flights will be operated exclusively for cargo, without passengers, using 100 per cent of the belly capacity on Oman Air passenger aircraft offering 20 to 25 tons of cargo capacity. Each aircraft can carry 11 lower deck pallet positions with cargo.

The first flight is scheduled for April 2, 2020, from Muscat to Guangzhou; it will be followed by an additional flight on April 3, along with additional flights, depending on requirements.
An Oman Air official said, “As Oman’s national carrier, we have an important role to play in keeping medical supplies and essential goods moving in to Oman during this unprecedented time. We are proud to do our part in transporting the goods and supporting this initiative and the Ministry’s efforts”.
