SLL Salalah

How deep the SLL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SLL. This reads the same 11 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 5of the 11 destinations are flown by one airline
• 4destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 18.2%of the destinations name Oman Air, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SLL

Twelve airlines appear on the SLL board and they do not hold it evenly. Oman Air is on 2 of the 11 destinations, 18.2 per cent of them, and on every one of them it shares the sector with someone else. The destinations it appears on carry 16.4 of the 26.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is SalamAir on 2 destinations. 7 of the 12 airlines at SLL appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 18.2 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 5 of the 11 sectors at SLL do not.

How much of the SLL board is daily

Of the 11 destinations, 7 are flown at least once a day and 4 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SLL board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: SLL to Calicut (CCJ) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 22 of the 26.4 departures a day, 83.2 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic SLL is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The three destinations out of SLL where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from SLL

The desk holds the return direction for 9 of the 11 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 9 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through SLL is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

The clock at SLL

SLL keeps Asia/Muscat time, the same clock the desk works to, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here in the same working hour and a cut off quoted from Dubai needs no arithmetic at this end.

Where SLL turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Oman country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

One courier posting names SLL as the airport a courier here flies from: Şalālah.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SLL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 11 destinations above.
