One traveler mentioned that offices and schools in Oman are operating as usual, and people are assisting each other, ensuring a smooth experience for visitors. Another passenger highlighted Muscat’s popularity as a transit hub for individuals from neighboring regions, citing its excellent connectivity for travelers.
Moreover, a different passenger emphasized the peaceful atmosphere in Oman, stating that life there is normal and without any disturbances. Despite reports of missile blasts leading to flight diversions, one passenger shared a positive experience, mentioning that after a brief stop in Turkey, their journey to Muscat proceeded smoothly without any issues. Meanwhile, domestic airlines like IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet have started to gradually resume limited flight operations to and from the Middle East amid ongoing airspace restrictions related to the US-Israel and Iran conflict.
IndiGo announced plans to operate flights to eight Middle East destinations, ensuring passenger safety in coordination with government authorities. Air India and Air India Express have also resumed services to Jeddah and Muscat following the reopening of Saudi Arabia’s and Oman’s airspaces. SpiceJet, on the other hand, is facilitating special flights from the UAE to India to aid passenger movement during the current situation. Passengers with existing bookings are advised to wait for direct communication from the airlines before heading to the airports for their flights.
