TEHRAN - Oman’s SalamAir launched a direct flight route between Muscat and Tehran on Sunday, Tasnim reported.

SalamAir has also announced that it is going to launch another route to the southern city of Shiraz.
According to Mohsen Zarrabi, the head of Omani-Iranian Chamber of Commerce, launching this new route which is the second direct flight between the two countries can have a positive impact on the two countries’ tourism industry and can also facilitate economic relations between the two neighbors.
