Oman's SalamAir carried 839,630 passengers across its network in the fourth quarter of 2025, operating 5,766 flights during the same period, while recording an on-time performance rate of 77.5%.
SalamAir explained that fourth-quarter results were affected by changes in weather and operating conditions at a number of destinations, but the average annual on-time departure performance in 2025 reached 81.3%, reflecting stable operational efficiency throughout the year, according to a press release published on the company's website.
It stressed that the on-time performance (OTP) indicator is an international standard measuring the proportion of flights departing within 15 minutes of the scheduled departure time, noting that publishing performance results quarterly since the third quarter of 2024 comes as part of its operational transparency policy and providing reliable information to travellers and decision-makers in the regional aviation sector.
For his part, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO of SalamAir, explained that on-time performance is a key indicator of the efficiency of the services provided to passengers every day, adding that operating nearly 5,800 flights and carrying more than 839,000 passengers in a single quarter reflects the scale of daily operations and the commitment of the teams across the network.
The announcement of fourth-quarter results coincides with the company's continued implementation of growth plans, as it is expanding its fleet, which reached 15 aircraft in 2025, along with strengthening its network by launching new flights to Nairobi, Vienna, Sharjah, Port Sudan, Beirut, Damascus, Medan and Abha, as part of a direction focused on offering reliable, affordable travel options in line with the targets of Oman Vision 2040.
SalamAir operates a fleet of 15 Airbus A320/A321 aircraft and runs more than 80 daily flights to 38 destinations. In February 2025 it announced an order for 10 additional aircraft as part of its plan to grow the fleet to 25 aircraft by 2028, with the new aircraft to be delivered from the second quarter of 2026.
