Oman Air Records First Profit in 15 Years as Government Acquires SalamAir


In a major milestone for the aviation industry, Oman Air has reported its first profit in 15 years. Speaking at a media conference held at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, the airline announced a net profit of 3.2 million Omani riyals for 2025, marking a significant turnaround in its financial performance.

The airline also revealed that it achieved positive EBITDA for the first time in over a decade, highlighting the success of its transformation program launched in 2023. Alongside this, Oman Air noted a steady reduction in its debt levels, signaling improved financial stability.

The event also brought attention to growth in passenger numbers across the aviation sector, including operations by Oman Airports and SalamAir.

In a separate but related development, the Omani government officially confirmed its acquisition of SalamAir. Despite this strategic move to strengthen the country’s aviation sector, both Oman Air and SalamAir will continue to operate independently, maintaining their own fleets and brand identities.

This dual development reflects a broader effort to modernize and stabilize Oman’s aviation industry while positioning it for future growth.
