Oman Air Cargo has begun operating a new daily Road Feeder Service (RFS) connecting Muscat and Dubai, adding a ground transport option that allows larger and widebody-compatible shipments to move between Oman and the UAE. The service, which runs every day, trucks cargo in both directions between the two countries. It is designed to handle perishables and general cargo, as well as shipments too large or heavy for narrowbody aircraft – freight that would otherwise be harder to accommodate on regional flights.
The move comes as trade between Oman and the UAE continues to grow, and the new link is intended to give shippers more flexibility in how their cargo reaches the region, whether or not it travels by air for the full journey. By plugging road transport into its network, Oman Air Cargo is also positioning Oman as a connecting point for cargo moving more broadly across the Middle East, making use of the country’s location between major regional and international routes.
Michael Duggan, Head of Cargo, Oman Air, said: “This new service creates greater flexibility for cargo movement between Dubai and Muscat, by complementing traditional air freight operations and enabling the transport of a wider range of cargo types. As regional supply chains continue to evolve, Oman Air Cargo remains focused on delivering reliable, customer-centric transport solutions that support trade across the Middle East.”
