Omani low-cost carrier SalamAir has announced the expansion of its global distribution strategy through a new dual partnership with Germany's Hahn Air, giving travel agents and passengers in more than 190 markets worldwide easy access to the airline's flights and bookings.
Under the partnership, SalamAir flights are now available for ticketing through the Sabre global distribution system (GDS) using the airline's code "OV," as well as under the Hahn Air Technologies code "X1" in leading global distribution systems, allowing travel agents to book and issue tickets for SalamAir flights easily through standard booking procedures in Sabre, according to a press release published on the SalamAir website.
Steven Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at SalamAir, said: "The partnership with Hahn Air significantly strengthens our commercial distribution strategy and enables us to reach new sales channels and connect with travel agents in 190 markets."
He added: "By expanding our booking and ticketing reach, we are creating more opportunities to increase sales, expand our international presence and strengthen SalamAir's competitive position in key markets."
SalamAir affirmed that through this step it is committed to providing more accessible, convenient and reliable air travel options for travelers around the world, leveraging its growing network of destinations, its modern fuel-efficient fleet and its strong global distribution capabilities to support Oman's connectivity and enhance the value offered to customers and travel partners.
It is worth noting that SalamAir was launched in 2017 as the first low-cost airline in the Sultanate of Oman, and it currently operates a fleet of 14 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft, with an average of more than 80 flights per day.
A new aircraft is scheduled to join the fleet this August, and the airline announced in February 2025 an order for 10 new aircraft with the aim of increasing its fleet to 25 aircraft by 2028.
