The Sultanate of Oman is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in its young national airline as part of an ambitious fleet and route expansion programme designed to position the airline as a top-end international carrier.
By the end of 2009, Oman Air which until recently was little more than an internal, and relatively small regional airline, will operate a fleet of 15 Boeing 737-800 single aisle airliners, two Airbus A330-300s and two A330-200s wide-body long range aircraft.
A further three A330-300s are due for delivery early next year. Over the next four years the airline expects that the first of six Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” twin-aisle long-range airliners will have been brought into service. These will consolidate the airline’s credentials as an inter-continental carrier.
