Direct Flights to Oman

The flight time to Oman largely depends on your departure airport. Direct flights are available from Munich and Frankfurt to Muscat, the capital of Oman. These flights usually take about 6.5 hours. A direct flight from Cologne/Bonn to Salalah, another popular destination in Oman, takes about 8 hours.

Flights with Stopover

Not all airlines offer direct flights to Oman. Often, you need to plan a stopover at the respective airline's hub or at a partner airport. The total travel time then depends on the duration of this stopover.

A flight with a stopover in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Istanbul is a good choice. The layover times here are usually between one and three hours. Depending on the location of the stopover, the total flight distance may increase. This can extend the travel time to 7.5 – 11 hours.

The flight time to Oman varies depending on the departure airport and whether you choose a direct flight or a flight with a stopover. Therefore, plan your trip well and consider the various options to find the best flight connection for you.

Oil, Gas, and Industry in Oman

Oil and gas are the two industries that still account for the largest part of the Omani gross domestic product. It was around 51% in 2013. This leads to the fact that still around 85% of state revenues come from the sale of oil and gas, which in turn leads to an enormous dependence on factors such as oil prices and the global demand for oil and gas. Coupled with the fact that Oman is a country that has comparatively few oil reserves that can be extracted without significant technical and financial effort, this poses a mammoth task for the political leadership. For relying solely on oil and gas...
