Oman Air, the flag carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has become the 15th member airline of oneworld, the global airline alliance.
The addition of Oman Air strengthens the alliance’s presence across the Middle East and means that from July 1, oneworld customers can access an extended network of destinations, including Oman Air’s new non-stop Muscat–Amsterdam service.
As a full oneworld member airline, Oman Air will provide oneworld Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby passengers with benefits such as earning and redeeming miles, earning status points, priority check-in and boarding and lounge access.
Oman Air’s top-tier customers will gain access to oneworld priority benefits, including a global network of nearly 700 premium airport lounges.
With its hub at Muscat International Airport, Oman Air serves 42 destinations across 22 countries and territories. The airline offers three cabin classes, including its Business Studio with private suites on select long-haul flights.
“Oman Air is honoured to be joining the oneworld alliance, whose members and global footprint represent the best of what international travellers want to experience,” commented Con Korfiatis, CEO of Oman Air.
Nat Pieper, CEO of oneworld, said: “Oman Air brings valuable strategic reach and award-winning product and service to the alliance. This partnership opens up exciting new connections for our customers, particularly across the Gulf and South Asia, and reinforces oneworld’s position as the premium alliance for international travellers.”
