    Oman Air will start double daily flight operations from Colombo to Muscat from 28 October 2015 onwards. The national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman will now offer a total of 14 flights per week and two flights per day between the two countries. Oman Air’s daily morning flight will depart from Colombo at 8.45 a.m. and the evening flight will leave at 17.45 p.m., with the exception of the Wednesday evening flight, which will depart at 20.30 p.m. Commenting on Oman Air’s increased flight frequency, Mahfood Ali Saleem Al Harthy - Chief Officer Sales, Oman Air stated, “We are delighted to increase flights between Colombo and Muscat. Increasing our flight frequency to Muscat is part of our long-term plan to drive strategic growth and expansion in the region. We have seen an immense demand for flights between both destinations and by adding an additional four flights to our weekly schedule, we hope to strengthen the Colombo-Muscat route and solidify its position as a significant route in our global network.” In 2009, Oman Air commenced its operations in Sri Lanka and by 2011, the airline was offering five flights per week to Muscat in Oman.

    Plane catches fire during takeoff at Florida airport, several injured

    Dynamic International Airways' Boeing 767-200ER surrounded by white foam and firefighters' trucks in Fort Lauderdale, its inflatable evacuation chutes deployed. The aircraft was leaking fuel before departure, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

    Fifteen people were taken to the hospital, one with serious burn wounds and two with less serious injuries, Michael Jachles, a spokesman for Broward Sheriff's Office, told reporters.

    The other injuries appeared to be bumps and bruises, he said, adding that 101 people, including crew, had been on board.

    One child was among those being treated at Broward Health Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said.

    Luis Campana, a 71-year-old rancher, was traveling to Venezuela's Guarico state with his wife and sister from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

    "It was a real scare," Campana told Reuters, adding that he had been sitting near the front of the plane as the pilot put the thrust on to taxi up the runway.

    "The engine exploded. As we were getting out of the plane down the chute, the smoke was beginning to enter and the engine was in flames," he said.

    Campana said he did not see any injured people.

    Officials got a call at 12:34 p.m. EDT (1634 GMT) that Dynamic Airways flight 405 experienced a left engine fire while taxiing on one of the airport's two runways.

    Passengers had been completely evacuated by 12:37 p.m., Jachles told a news conference.

    The airport reopened about three hours later.

    'A LOT OF SMOKE'

    Natalia Vargas, 50, said her 75-year-old mother phoned her from the plane and said there had been two strong explosions.

    "There was a lot of smoke," said Vargas, who lives in Miami and is originally from Venezuela. "Everyone was very nervous, but everyone was off the plane quickly," she said.

    The National Transportation Safety Board is sending four people to Fort Lauderdale to investigate the fire, the agency said on Twitter.

    Greensboro, North Carolina-based Dynamic said in a statement that the crew became aware of an engine problem while taxiing for departure.

    The carrier said on its website that it has operated wide-body aircraft since 2009 and would investigate the fire.

    The plane was powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, said Sara Banda, a spokeswoman from Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp .

    Boeing Co said in a statement it is providing technical assistance to the NTSB investigation.

    Dynamic's 767-200ER was built in 1986, and only seven such planes of that age or older remain in service out of 65 built, according to Collateral Verifications, an aircraft appraisal firm.
