Muscat International Airport welcomes GOAir to it's growing Family!
Muscat International Airport welcomes new low cost airline GoAir with three weekly flights between Kannur International Airport (CNN) and Muscat International Airport (MCT), connecting the two cities with flights operating every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from Muscat to Kannur and every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from Kannur to Muscat.
GoAir’s inaugural flight from Kannur to MCT was received with much fanfare, as the Indian subcontinent remains one of the most popular destinations for travelers departing from MCT. In addition, Kannur itself is a popular leisure and business destination within the state of Kerala.

GoAir is India’s fastest growing airline and Muscat is our 3rd international destination after Phuket and Male, and 27th destination sequentially speaking. GoAir is delighted to work with Muscat International Airport. I welcome aboard passengers from Kannur and Muscat on three weekly direct flight services at attractive fares. Fly smart, fly GoAir.”

The Indian Subcontinent is a very important market to Oman and we are looking forward to more business opportunities in the coming future. We thank all stakeholders for all the efforts and support to make this route happen.”
