Speaking of the 2nd destinations, he added; This is our first introduction into Kazakhstan; the city of Almaty has promising passenger travel into Muscat, and we expect to carry both business travelers and holidaymakers between the two important cities. Oman and Kazakhstan recently agreed to have close bilateral cooperation in the fields of economy, renewable energy, tourism, and food security too thus this route being mutually beneficial.”

Kazakhstan, the world’s ninth-largest country, extends from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mountains east on its border with China and Russia. Almaty is the old capital city of Kazakhstan and remains the financial as well as the cultural hub. Almaty means 'city of apple trees', and because of its relatively mild climate, it has a wide range of apple trees. The City of Almaty first came to global prominence as one of the many stops on The Silk Road, as traders crossed countries and continents to trade. Almaty is known for its major natural attractions such as the Kolsai Lakes, Charyn Canyon, and Altyn-Emel National Park.  It has wide tree-lined streets, numerous parks, and orchards amid a backdrop of mountains. Tourism is a key industry in Almaty and is a major source of foreign exchange earnings. It is also known for mountain hiking and river rafting in summer and skiing in winter.
