Salam Air's fleet consists of Airbus A320-family aircraft, with a total of 10 aircraft in its fleet. The airline has plans to expand its fleet in the near future.

The airline was founded in 2016 with the aim of providing low-cost flights to the Middle East and beyond. The airline's first flight was from Muscat to Salalah in Oman. Since then, Salam Air has grown exponentially and now serves over 30 destinations in the region.

One of the most important milestones in the history of Salam Air was its first international flight, which was from Muscat to Dubai in 2017. This was a significant milestone as it marked the airline's entry into the international market. Since then, the airline has continued to expand its international reach, with flights to destinations such as Bahrain, Egypt, India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Another milestone for Salam Air was the launch of its loyalty program, Salam Rewards, in 2018. This loyalty program offers rewards such as free flights and discounts on flights and other services.

In 2019, Salam Air launched its first long-haul destination, with a flight from Muscat to Dhaka, Bangladesh. This was a significant milestone as it marked the airline's entry into the long-haul market.

Salam Air has had a few incidents in its history. In 2018, one of its flights had to make an emergency landing due to a technical issue. In 2019, the airline was the subject of a federal investigation by the US Department of Transportation after it was accused of price gouging on certain flights.
