Flying from Sylhet to Muscat
In short
SalamAir is the only airline flying nonstop from Osmani International Airport in Sylhet (ZYL) to Muscat International Airport (MCT). Its Airbus A321neo covers 3,399 km in about 5 hours, and most passengers are workers going back to jobs in Oman who no longer need a domestic hop to Dhaka first.
Oman's visa freeze for Bangladeshi citizens
Oman suspended new visas for Bangladeshi citizens in October 2023 and has not lifted the freeze in full. A first trip goes ahead only once a visa has actually been granted, so do not pay for a ticket on a sponsor's promise. Returning residents fly on their Omani resident card and are not affected.
Anyone taking overseas work for the first time also needs BMET emigration clearance. Immigration at Osmani asks for it, and without it you are stopped at the desk.
SalamAir, its A321neo fleet and OV422
SalamAir was founded in 2016 and carried its first passengers on 30 January 2017. The A321neo, with roughly 210 seats, is the backbone of its fleet, with nine in service as of August 2025. OV422 runs about three times a week.
As a low-cost airline, SalamAir sells bags with the fare. The standard ticket on this route includes 20 kg checked and 7 kg in the cabin, but lighter fares can drop the hold bag. Extra weight is usually cheaper bought online.
From Muscat, SalamAir also serves Dhaka and Chattogram, useful if relatives are spread around the country or the Sylhet dates are full.
Oman is two hours behind Bangladesh
Put your watch back two hours on landing. Bangladesh runs on UTC+6 and Oman on UTC+4, and neither moves its clocks.
Terminal 1 at Seeb and the ride to Ruwi
The airport is at Seeb, at the western end of the capital region. Terminal 1, SalamAir's hub, opened on 18 March 2018; tell the driver on the return trip that you are flying SalamAir.
Ruwi, the old commercial district full of South Asian shops and money exchanges, is where many Bangladeshis live and work, about 30 minutes by taxi. An airport bus route ends at Ruwi, which suits anyone travelling light; workers with large bags often use an employer pickup. Old Muscat is about 32 km away, with Al Bustan beyond it.
A late arrival with a morning flight onward can stay right by the terminal: one of the hotels under Where to stay is at Al Matar beside the airport, another is on the airport side of the city, and a budget option in Ghala is a short drive away. Families with time for the beach have choices at Shatti Al Qurum and Al Bustan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Visa & documents
Only partly. The freeze imposed in October 2023 has not been lifted in full, so a first trip to Oman goes ahead only once a visa has actually been granted. Do not pay for a ticket on the strength of a sponsor's promise. Workers who already hold an Omani resident card are not affected and fly back on that card.
General
It is the government emigration clearance that Bangladeshis taking overseas work for the first time must obtain from BMET. Immigration at Osmani asks for it, and without it you will be stopped at the desk, so collect it well before your travel date.
Yes, by 2 hours, so put your watch back on landing. Bangladesh runs on UTC+6 and Oman on UTC+4, and neither country moves its clocks in summer, so the gap stays the same in every month of the year.
It is an Airbus A321neo with roughly 210 seats. The type is the backbone of SalamAir's fleet, with nine in service as of August 2025. The airline itself is young: founded in 2016, it carried its first passengers on 30 January 2017.
Yes. Besides Sylhet, it serves Dhaka and Chattogram from its Muscat hub. That helps if relatives are spread across the country or the Sylhet dates are full, though for anyone living in the Sylhet region the nonstop to Osmani remains the simplest choice.
Getting there
The standard fare on this route already includes 20 kg in the hold and 7 kg in the cabin. Lighter fares on a low-cost carrier can strip the hold bag out, so read what your ticket says. Extra weight is usually cheaper bought online before the trip than paid at the counter.
Yes. Old Muscat lies about 32 km away and Al Bustan sits beyond it. The airport is in Seeb, at the western end of the capital region, while the hotels at Al Matar and Ghala are close by.
Prices & payment
An airport bus route finishes at Ruwi, which suits anyone travelling light. Workers arriving with large bags often prefer a taxi or a pickup arranged by the employer, as Ruwi is roughly a 30-minute drive from the terminal.
Timing & weather
Terminal 1, the building SalamAir uses as its hub, opened on 18 March 2018. For the return, tell the driver you are flying SalamAir so you are set down at the right check-in area.
Stay & facilities
Yes. One of the hotels under Where to stay stands at Al Matar beside the terminal, another is also on the airport side of the city, and a budget hotel in Ghala is a short drive away.
Two of the hotels under Where to stay have beaches: one right on the sand at Shatti Al Qurum and one with its own beachfront at Al Bustan. For easy access to relatives in Ruwi, another sits in the business district there.
