"The charming city of Bursa offers many tourist attractions from adventure, sightseeing to shopping and the pleasant weather offers a holistic and enjoyable experience," said Captain Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of SalamAir. "We continue to be highly committed to our expansion plans in promoting Oman and achieving our goals in meeting Oman Vision 2040 while continuing to connect the network better and add more direct routes to new destinations. We are in the process of adding more aircraft to the fleet to serve more destinations and increase frequencies."

In 2021, more than 150,000 foreign tourists visited Bursa despite travel restrictions caused by the global COVID19 pandemic.

In ten years, the number of Omani tourists visiting Turkey has increased immensely. There were only around 5,000 visitors from Oman in 2010, whereas last year around 50,000 people from Oman visited the country. Just before COVID19, around 90,000 Omanis would visit Turkey annually.

International destinations include: Alexandria, Bahrain, Baku, Bursa, Chattogram, Dammam, Dhaka, Doha, Dubai, Istanbul, Jaipur, Jeddah, Karachi, Kathmandu, Khartoum, Kuwait, Lucknow, Medina, Multan, Phuket, Riyadh, Shiraz, Sialkot, Tehran, Trabzon and Trivandrum.
