Stop Mr. Arabia to Muscat
Posted by Peter, Oman on Thursday 16 April 2009 at 19:38 UAE time


Why is Air Arabia not interested to collect passengers from Muscat? Tourism is booming in Oman and will be a hot destination during recession. Plus thousands of Goan are working in Oman and this link will help too. Omanis studying in Goa too will benefit from this route. Just make a point Mr. Arabia to pick us up. Arabian Business News please request Air Arabia to help Goan community in Muscat of this facility.
