Oman Air (ICAO: OMA) Airline Information

Oman Air is the flag carrier and national airline of the Sultanate of Oman, headquartered in Muscat. Its origins trace back to Oman International Services (OIS), established in 1970 as a civil aircraft ground-handling provider. Oman Air was officially founded on March 20, 1993, commencing operations as a regional carrier focused on domestic and nearby international routes. In 2007, it was officially recognized as the national carrier, with the Omani government significantly increasing its shareholding to support the airline's transformation into an international player.

The airline's primary operational hub is Muscat International Airport (MCT), which serves as the main gateway for its extensive international and domestic network. A secondary hub at Salalah International Airport (SLL) focuses on domestic operations, particularly during peak tourism seasons. Oman Air operates a modern fleet primarily composed of Boeing aircraft, including the Boeing 737 family (737 MAX 8, 737-800, and 737-900ER models) for narrow-body routes, and Boeing 787 Dreamliners (787-8 and 787-9 variants) for wide-body long-haul services. The airline has phased out its Airbus A330 fleet by March 2024 as part of restructuring efforts.

Oman Air's route network encompasses 3 domestic destinations and 40 international destinations across 24 countries, spanning the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Africa, as of November 2025. The airline strategically targets tourism hubs and key regions to facilitate trade, tourism, and expatriate travel, with high-frequency routes to major cities like Dubai and London. Oman Air officially became the 15th member of the oneworld alliance on June 30, 2025, expanding its global connectivity and offering passengers access to a broader network. The airline offers various cabin classes, including First Class, Business Class (featuring Business Studio suites), and Economy Class. Notably, First Class was eliminated in favor of the Business Studio product due to low load factors as of October 2025. Oman Air has garnered international acclaim for excellence in passenger experience, including awards for its cabin service and best business class seating in the Middle East.
