“We expect to resume direct air communication between Moscow and Muscat in the near future by the national Omani carrier.

Then the flow of tourists from Russia will increase significantly.

But even for this, it is necessary to take a number of measures on the part of some of our departments, ”said Morgunov.

He expects that the relevant negotiations on the restoration of air traffic will resume in Moscow in May.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, following talks with his Omani counterpart Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi, said that Russia and Oman are working on a visa-free regime.
