Oman to reopen to international flights in October

Oman is defined to reopen to international flights on October 1.

The country's Supreme Committee said it could restart international flights to and from the sultanate the following month relative to health data for specific destinations.

No further information on the reopening have been released, but it's likely that Oman will categorise destinations predicated on the scale of the coronavirus outbreak in each country.

Following a announcement, Oman Airports issued a statement confirming that air traffic for international flights would resume in October. The airport authority recommended that passengers adhere to any prevention measures that will be announced by the Ministry of Health insurance and told travellers to check on with their airline for updates before travelling.

Oman closed its borders to travellers in March in a bid to avoid the spread of Covid-19.

Flights have remained open for citizens and residents, and anyone entering Oman must quarantine for two weeks, either in the home or in a hotel. All foreign citizens arriving in the united states must also have medical health insurance. In July, Oman Airports requested bids for the installation of PCR testing solutions, which could mean that travellers will be tested for the virus upon arrival.

Etihad previously announced that it would get started flights to Muscat from Abu Dhabi on September 16, depending on government approval. It's likely these will now commence on October 1.

Emirates isn't currently operating flights to Oman, but flights to Muscat could be booked on the Dubai airline's website from October 1.
