The route will be served four times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Both Rome and Milan services
The new Rome service joins the flights to Milan Malpensa, and it will take off from Muscat at 15.00 and arrive in Fiumicino at 19.30, while the return flight will depart Rome at 20.30 and arrive in Oman at 05.45.
“Rome is a perfect addition to our network”
“Our new direct flights to Rome represent an exciting step in our transformation,” commented Oman Air's CEO, Con Korfiatis. “As our second destination in Italy, this key route not only enhances our European offering, but also marks the beginning of our strategy to maximise the utilisation of our narrow body fleet. Rome, one of the most visited cities in the world, is a perfect addition to our network.”
Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on long-haul
The Omani airline is also pushing ahead with fleet renewal: on long-haul routes by early next year, the carrier will operate exclusively with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners while for medium-haul routes, it will switch to a fleet of B737 Max 8s by mid-2026, after retiring the 737-800s.
