Qatar Airways adds four new services to Salalah, Oman

With effect from 16 December 2014, the airline is offering three additional flights per week, and from 3 February 2015, another additional flight per week. A total of eight flights per week make it even easier and more convenient for passengers to visit this vibrant tourist destination in the Sultanate of Oman.
