Captain Mohamed Ahmed, chief executive officer of Salamair said:

“India is one of the most important markets for all airlines operating in the middle east due to the size of its population, number of tourists from the country, and expat residents.

“Salamair has operated nearly 700 chartered flights to overseas destinations over the last three months, with many of them flying to India. This has enabled us to gain a lot of knowledge about the market and passengers’ expectations. This exposure will make our entry to the Indian market a smoother experience.

“We are working closely with concerned authorities to secure the necessary clearance to start permanent operations.”
