Oman Air announced the resumption of its direct flights between Muscat and Bahrain starting April 18, 2026, restoring air connectivity between the two Gulf capitals after several weeks of suspension.

The airline normally operates daily services between Muscat International Airport and Bahrain International Airport, with up to seven flights per week under regular schedules. However, the initial restart is expected to begin with reduced frequency as operations gradually return to normal.

As of mid-April 2026, Bahrain International Airport continues to operate at reduced capacity, with airlines restoring services in stages. European carriers remain affected by a conflict-zone advisory restricting operations in Bahrain’s airspace until at least April 24, 2026.

Although the restriction does not apply to Oman Air, it has impacted several European airlines, including British Airways and Lufthansa, which have not yet resumed services to Bahrain.

Oman Air has also introduced flexible rebooking and refund options for passengers affected by earlier cancellations, including full refunds, free date changes, and destination adjustments under specific conditions. All rebookings must be completed by May 31, 2026.

Passengers are advised to contact the airline directly or their travel agents for assistance with existing bookings.
