Salam Air’s spokesman for said a plane purchase is under process but has not yet been finalised.
Mohamed Ahmed, Salam Air’s Chief Executive Officer, said that the Muscat-based carrier plans to increase its fleet of seven Airbus A320 jets to 11 planes and eventually reaching 20 over the next five years.
