Cyclone Gonu that hit Oman Wednesday killed at least 25 people, including an Indian. Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, had cancelled its flights from Tuesday after cyclone alerts were sounded.

Oman Air operates daily flights to Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and six other destinations in India.

Besides Oman Air, other Middle Eastern, Sri Lankan and Indian carriers also operate flights to Oman, which is home to 386,000 Indians.

Air India officials have announced that their flights to Oman would resume Saturday. They are planning to operate more flights to clear the rush of passengers.

Around 1,500 passengers fly daily from Kerala to Oman.
