Oman Air is the national airline of the Sultanate of Oman. Based at Muscat International Airport, the airline connects Oman with destinations across the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Africa.
The carrier is known for its distinctive gold-and-blue branding, Omani hospitality, comfortable cabins and convenient connections through Muscat. Oman Air began operating in 1993 and became the 15th full member of the oneworld alliance in June 2025.
As of July 2026, Oman Air’s network has expanded to 49 destinations. The airline launched five routes during July, connecting Oman with Singapore, Sochi, Tashkent and Abu Dhabi while also introducing a Dubai–Salalah service.

Oman Air stated in February 2026 that its fleet had reached 33 aircraft after receiving seven Boeing 787 and Boeing 737 deliveries during the preceding 12 months.
Oman Air originally developed to provide important domestic connections within Oman. It later expanded into an international airline connecting Muscat with major commercial, cultural and leisure destinations.
Its network is designed both for passengers visiting Oman and for travellers making connections between India, Southeast Asia, the Gulf, Africa and Europe.
Muscat International Airport offers a more compact connecting experience than some of the region’s largest airports. This can make Oman Air attractive to passengers who prefer a less crowded transit hub.
Oman Air also supports Oman’s tourism strategy by bringing international travellers to Muscat, Salalah and other parts of the country. The airline’s recent route expansion has focused on increasing point-to-point tourism as well as strengthening Muscat’s connecting network.
Oman Air serves destinations across several regions.
Its regional network includes cities and markets such as:
Abu Dhabi
Bahrain
Cairo
Doha
Dubai
Jeddah
Riyadh
Taif
Kuwait
Muscat
Salalah
Oman Air began a daily Muscat–Abu Dhabi service on July 9, 2026. It also introduced three weekly flights between Dubai and Salalah during the same month.
Important European destinations in Oman Air’s network include:
Amsterdam
Frankfurt
Istanbul
London
Milan
Moscow
Paris
Rome
Sochi
The airline joined oneworld shortly after launching its Muscat–Amsterdam service. Rome, Taif and several charter routes were also added as part of its recent network development.
Oman Air connects Muscat with several destinations in South and Southeast Asia, including:
Bangkok
Delhi
Kuala Lumpur
Manila
Mumbai
Phuket
Singapore
Tashkent
Direct Muscat–Singapore flights began on July 2, 2026, operating four times per week. The service is operated by Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with Business and Economy cabins.
The network also includes selected African destinations, including Cairo, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. Route frequencies can vary according to the season and passenger demand.
Travellers should always search using their exact dates because not every Oman Air route operates daily.
India is one of Oman Air’s most important markets because of the strong travel, employment, family and commercial links between India and Oman.
The airline’s official booking pages currently advertise Muscat services involving Indian cities such as:
Delhi
Mumbai
Chennai
Kozhikode
Thiruvananthapuram
Bengaluru
Kochi
Hyderabad
Goa
Lucknow
Direct Muscat flights are currently advertised from cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram..
Passengers from India can connect through Muscat to destinations in Europe, the Gulf, Africa and Southeast Asia. Joining oneworld has also increased the number of onward travel opportunities available through partner airlines.
Indian travellers should check whether their itinerary requires an Oman transit visa, particularly when changing tickets, collecting baggage or leaving the international transit area.
July 2026 was an important month for Oman Air’s network, with five routes beginning within a short period.
| Route | Start date | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Muscat–Singapore | July 2, 2026 | Four flights per week |
| Muscat–Sochi | July 2, 2026 | One flight per week |
| Muscat–Tashkent | July 3, 2026 | Two flights per week |
| Dubai–Salalah | July 3, 2026 | Three flights per week |
| Muscat–Abu Dhabi | July 9, 2026 | Daily |
These additions brought the airline’s network to 49 destinations. Oman Air described the expansion as part of its plan to strengthen tourism, trade and connectivity under Oman Vision 2040.
Seasonal and charter services may operate for limited periods, so passengers should verify the schedule before making non-refundable hotel or connecting-flight arrangements.
Oman Air operates a modern fleet centred on Boeing aircraft.
Its principal aircraft families include:
Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner
Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Boeing 737 MAX 8
Boeing 737-800
Boeing 737-900
The airline reported a total fleet of 33 aircraft in February 2026. Its newest Boeing 737 MAX 8 formed part of seven Boeing 787 and 737 deliveries received over 12 months.
The Boeing 787 is primarily used for longer international routes.
Depending on the aircraft configuration, Oman Air’s 787 can offer:
Business Studio
Business Class
Economy Class
Lie-flat premium seating
Direct aisle access in Business Class
Seatback entertainment
USB and power connections
Onboard Wi-Fi
One Boeing 787-9 configuration features 18 Business Class seats with direct aisle access and fully flat beds. Its Economy cabin has 249 seats in a 3-3-3 arrangement, approximately 31 inches of seat pitch and 10.6-inch seatback screens.
Cabin layouts can vary between individual aircraft, so passengers should review the seat map displayed for their flight.
Oman Air’s Boeing 737 aircraft operate many regional and medium-distance routes.
These aircraft are used for services within the Gulf as well as flights to India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and selected European destinations. The Boeing 737 MAX is designed to offer lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and a quieter cabin experience than earlier-generation narrow-body aircraft.
Oman Air offers three main Economy fare bundles:

The services included depend on the route and ticket selected.
Super Saver is generally Oman Air’s lowest-priced fare.

On these eligible routes, the allowances may be:
| Economy fare | Checked baggage |
|---|---|
| Super Saver | 20 kg |
| Comfort | 30 kg |
| Flex | 40 kg |
These enhanced allowances were introduced in response to passenger demand on routes where travellers commonly carry more baggage.
The baggage allowance shown on the final ticket always takes priority over the general table.

Priority airport services
Lounge access where available
Two cabin bags, subject to the applicable limit

The standard maximum dimensions are:
56 × 36 × 23 centimetres
Oman Air’s conditions state that each standard cabin-baggage item must remain within the seven-kilogram limit and permitted dimensions.
Business Studio and eligible premium passengers may be entitled to two cabin bags of up to seven kilograms each, depending on the fare and aircraft.
| Fare type | Standard allowance |
|---|---|
| Economy Super Saver | 0 kg |

| Business Comfort | 40 kg |

Oman Air generally applies a weight-based baggage system on much of its own network. Passengers may divide their allowance among several bags, but an individual item must not exceed 32 kilograms.
Additional baggage can be purchased before travel through Manage Booking.
Buying baggage online is normally more convenient than waiting until airport check-in. The price depends on the route, weight and time of purchase.
Economy or Premium Economy baggage weighing between 23 and 32 kilograms can attract an overweight charge on journeys where a piece-based system applies. Oman Air currently lists a USD 100 or CAD 100 overweight fee for certain applicable routes.
Oman Air online check-in is available from:
48 hours before departure until 60 minutes before departure
Passengers can use online check-in to:
Confirm their travel
Select or change a seat
Add baggage
Access upgrade options
Obtain a boarding pass
Travellers without checked baggage may proceed to airport security when a valid mobile or printed boarding pass is accepted at the departure airport. Passengers carrying checked luggage must visit the baggage-drop counter.
Airport check-in can normally begin approximately four hours before departure. Closing times differ by airport, so international passengers should arrive at least three hours before their flight.
Online check-in may not be available for certain passengers, airports or special-service reservations.

Depending on the aircraft and flight length, passengers may receive:

USB or power connections
Blankets and pillows on longer flights
