Oman Air gets global recognition yet again

Oman Air has won the Best Business Class Airline 2015 – Middle East category of the Business Destinations Travel Awards. The award recognises the outstanding quality of Oman Air’s Business Class passenger experience, both on the ground and in the air.

This year marks the fourth time Oman Air has won the award, having previously taken the title in 2011, 2012 and 2013. No other airline has won the award as many times as Oman Air.

Paul Greogowitsch, CEO Oman Air, welcomed the award, saying: “Oman Air is delighted to accept the title of Best Business Class Airline 2015 – Middle East in the Business Destinations Travel Awards. It is a wonderful accolade to receive as we continue our ambitious expansion programme, which will enable many more air travellers to enjoy the Oman Air Business Class passenger experience.

“This is the fourth time that Oman Air has been presented with this award, which is a wonderful testament to the consistently high standard of our premium product. Over that time, we have continued to introduce more innovations and add even greater luxury to our Business Class service. For example, we have unveiled new airport lounges, introduced a superb premium check-in lounge at Muscat and launched a range of new products and services for our Sindbad frequent fliers.

“However, perhaps the most noticeable development has been the introduction on our new Airbus A330 and Boeing B737 aircraft of brand new Business Class cabins. Unveiled in late 2014, these retain the comfort and luxury of their predecessors, whilst adding even more features and contemporary styling.

“As a result, we are experiencing even greater demand for Business Class seats throughout our international network, and last year we carried more passengers than ever before. I would therefore like to thank the Business Destinations Travel Awards judges for this invaluable recognition and, most importantly, our customers for their loyalty and appreciation of Oman Air’s Business Class service.”

Business Destinations’ Features Editor, William Owen, adds: “The team at Oman Air has continued to forge higher standards, offering wholly better services and standing head and shoulders above the competition for this category. The company’s dedication to fantastic customer service and expansion is certainly the benchmark for others within the industry.” 

Oman Air launched its most recent program of expansion in October 2014. It will see the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman’s fleet grow to 50 aircraft by 2018, and to 70 aircraft by 2020. At that time, the fleet will consist of 25 wide-body aircraft and 45 narrow-body aircraft.
