The flights will operate from three different airports in the United Kingdom: Birmingham Airport, London Gatwick International Airport, and Manchester Airport. Each flight will fly directly to Muscat International Airport, the main airport in the capital city of Oman. These flights are expected to boost Oman’s travel and tourism industry, bringing more visitors to the country and contributing to the local economy.

TUI is using the Boeing 787-8 aircraft to operate these flights. The airline currently has eight of these aircraft in its fleet and has ordered an additional one. In addition, TUI has a fleet of 49 Boeing 737 variations and has ordered 50 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The airline also operates two Boeing 767-300ER, which are being phased out and replaced by the Boeing 787-9s that the airline utilizes.

Tourism and economic boost

These charter flights are a positive sign for Oman’s economy, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic caused a decline in travel and tourism worldwide.

This includes adding a second aircraft to one of its focus cities, Bournemouth Airport, which will represent a 33% increase in seats offered by the airport.

The country has made significant investments in its infrastructure, including the expansion of its airports and the development of new hotels and resorts. In addition, Oman is known for its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and historical sites, which make it an attractive destination for travelers worldwide.
