Oman Air is increasing its services to and from Amsterdam from Muscat as it speeds up its growth in Europe. The airline will operate the route daily from 1 December 2026, increasing from the four weekly services it currently operates, in response to what it calls strong passenger demand.

The connection, launched on 1 July 2025, was the first direct air link between Oman and the Netherlands. Since its introduction, the route has become an important part of Oman Air’s growing European network, enhancing connectivity between the Sultanate and Amsterdam, a major international gateway to Europe.

The frequency increase is part of the airline’s wider schedule for Winter 2026/27, which reflects its ambition to grow its presence in European markets.

Amsterdam is not the only destination to reap benefits from the expansion. Oman Air is also considerably boosting capacity on a number of other European routes. The services to Zurich are to be tripled compared to summer, with widebody aircraft on up to five weekly flights. Meanwhile, services to Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan and Istanbul will also be increased to up to five a week.

Cargo is still an important part of the Muscat–Amsterdam connection.

In 2025, Oman Air launched its inaugural service to the Dutch capital, operating a four-times-weekly service as part of its wider strategy to develop European routes. The launch of the service has also opened up new opportunities for freight transportation between the two countries.

The first cargo operation was performed using a Boeing 787-9, which can carry between 14 and 18 metric tons of cargo. It carried pharmaceuticals, engineering spare parts and courier and express freight.

The route extension to daily operations is a boost for the passenger connectivity as well as the air cargo links between Oman and the Netherlands. The move also helps the carrier achieve its wider ambition to expand its European network and capacity in key international markets.
