SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Cost airline, has further strengthened its global distribution capabilities with the activation of its content on the Abacus Global Distribution System (GDS), complementing its earlier activation with Sabre.
This milestone enables
travel agents across Abacus-connected markets to seamlessly access and book
SalamAir flights under the airline code OV, with ticketing available on the
OV960 stock across selected active Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) markets.
The Abacus activation
significantly strengthens SalamAir’s reach across key Asian markets,
with immediate availability in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India, while Pakistan
and Bangladesh are set to follow as part of a phased rollout.
This strategic
expansion enhances accessibility for travel trade partners and supports the
airline’s continued growth in high-demand regions.
By strengthening its
presence across multiple GDS platforms, SalamAir is expanding its indirect
distribution channels, making its competitive fares and growing
network more accessible to a wider global audience.
The activation also
supports the airline’s broader commercial strategy to diversify its sales
channels and enhance connectivity between Oman and key international
markets.
Steven Allen, Chief
Commercial Officer at SalamAir, said: “Expanding our distribution through
Abacus represents a key step in strengthening our presence across
Asia’s high-growth travel markets. This addition enhances our accessibility for
travel partners and supports our strategy to connect more passengers to Oman
and beyond through efficient and cost-effective travel options. As we continue
to scale our network, ensuring ease of access across multiple
platforms remains a core priority. At the same time, we are
committed to making Oman more accessible to the world, contributing to the
growth of tourism, trade, and connectivity, in line with the
broader objectives of Oman Vision 2040.” -TradeArabia News Service
