[SalamAir](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000481x/salamair) launched its first route to Copenhagen on November 15, 2026, operating twice weekly from Muscat via Baghdad, the airline said. The [Oman Observer](https://www.omanobserver.om/article/1199730/oman/salamair-launches-first-route-to-copenhagen-via-baghdad) reported that Copenhagen is the ninth new destination the carrier has added in 2026.

## How The Muscat-Baghdad-Copenhagen Service Works

Baghdad International Airport hosted a ceremony for the inauguration, attended by Mohammed bin Abdullah al Bahrani, Oman's Ambassador to Iraq, and Iraqi officials. Steven Allen, SalamAir's Chief Commercial Officer, said the route links Muscat, Baghdad and Copenhagen, letting travellers from Oman reach the Danish capital via Baghdad, Iraqis fly between Baghdad and Copenhagen, and travellers from Denmark and northern Europe reach Oman and other SalamAir destinations.

"Copenhagen is the ninth new destination in 2026," Allen said, describing the airline's focus on low-cost travel options and Oman Vision 2040. Waheed bin Ibrahim al Balushi, Regional Director of International Sales, said the service gives SalamAir a chance to widen its customer base and work more closely with travel agents and tour operators in Oman, Iraq and Denmark.

Al Balushi said SalamAir has carried more than 210,000 passengers since it began flights to Baghdad in 2023. The airline announced ticket sales for the service on September 8, 2026, with one-way fares starting from RO130.99 between Muscat and Copenhagen and RO99.99 between Baghdad and Copenhagen, according to the Oman Observer.

## SalamAir's Fleet And European Expansion

SalamAir operates 15 Airbus A320/A321 aircraft on more than 80 daily flights to 38 destinations, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The airline expects to add three more aircraft by the end of 2026, bringing the total to 18, and has committed to growing the fleet to 25 aircraft by 2028. In June 2026 it inaugurated a direct Muscat-Vienna service, the first air link between Oman and Austria.

SalamAir introduced direct flights from Muscat to Erbil and Damascus in October 2026, expanding its regional network, GulfNews reported. In September 2026 the carrier launched direct flights to Mogadishu, its first to Somalia, with two weekly services and fares from OMR 79.99 one way, the Oman Observer reported. That same month it began direct Muscat-Sylhet flights, becoming the first foreign airline to operate scheduled services to Sylhet, GulfNews reported.
