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.

About Oman Air

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 Routes and Destinations

Oman Air serves destinations across several regions.

Middle East

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.

Europe

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.

Asia

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.

Africa

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.

Oman Air Flights from India

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.

Latest Oman Air Routes for 2026

July 2026 was an important month for Oman Air’s network, with five routes beginning within a short period.

Route Start date Frequency

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 Fleet

Its principal aircraft families include:

  • Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner

  • Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner

Cabin layouts can vary between individual aircraft, so passengers should review the seat map displayed for their flight.

Boeing 737

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.

On these eligible routes, the allowances may be:

Economy fare Checked baggage
Super Saver 20 kg
Comfort 30 kg

These enhanced allowances were introduced in response to passenger demand on routes where travellers commonly carry more baggage.

Oman Air Business Class Fares

Oman Air generally offers Business Comfort and Business Flex tickets.

  • Priority airport services

  • Lounge access where available

  • Two cabin bags, subject to the applicable limit

  • Business Class seating

  • Sindbad Miles

Oman Air Baggage Allowance

Cabin baggage

Economy passengers can generally carry one cabin bag weighing up to seven kilograms.

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.

Checked baggage

Fare type Standard allowance
Economy Super Saver 0 kg
Economy Comfort 20 kg
Economy Flex 30 kg
Business Comfort 40 kg
Business Flex 50 kg

Allowances may increase to 20, 30 and 40 kilograms for eligible Economy journeys involving India and certain other destinations.

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.

Extra and overweight baggage

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

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.

Oman Air Economy Class

Oman Air’s Economy cabin is designed to provide a full-service experience rather than a basic low-cost product.

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

  • Meal and beverage service

  • Seatback or shared entertainment

  • Amenity items on selected journeys

  • Adjustable headrests

  • USB or power connections

  • Blankets and pillows on longer flights

The airline describes its Economy product as offering comfortable seating, modern upholstery and a selection of international dishes.

The exact meal, entertainment and comfort items depend on the route, departure time and aircraft.

Oman Air Business Class

Oman Air Business Class is one of the airline’s strongest products.

Selected Boeing 787 aircraft feature:

  • Fully flat beds

  • Direct aisle access

  • Approximately 80 inches of seat pitch

  • 17-inch entertainment screens

  • USB charging

  • Laptop power

  • Privacy dividers

  • À la carte dining

Oman Air’s Boeing 787-9 Business cabin has an innovative 2-2-2 layout in which every passenger can reach the aisle without stepping over another traveller.

Premium passengers are welcomed with traditional Omani coffee, known as kahwa, and can choose from a selection of international and regional meals.

Oman Air Business Studio

Business Studio is Oman Air’s most exclusive cabin product and is offered on selected longer-haul Boeing 787 flights.

The private mini-suites can include:

  • A separate suite with enhanced privacy

  • A fully flat bed

  • On-demand dining

  • Omani, Arabic and international cuisine

  • Caviar service

  • Premium amenity products

  • Additional cabin baggage

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi allowance

Some Boeing 787-9 configurations have only six Business Studio suites, creating a quiet and private cabin.

Business Studio is not offered on every Boeing 787 or every long-haul route.

Meals and Drinks

Oman Air provides dining according to the cabin, flight length and departure time.

Economy passengers can receive a curated meal with hot, cold, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage choices, subject to the route.

Business Class passengers receive an upgraded meal service with specially designed starters and main courses. Meals are presented individually, and traditional Omani coffee is served as part of the premium experience.

Business Studio offers a fully on-demand menu featuring Omani, Arabic and international dishes.

Passengers with dietary, medical or religious requirements should request a special meal in advance through Manage Booking or the airline’s contact centre.

In-Flight Entertainment and Wi-Fi

Oman Air’s entertainment system is called Aria.

Depending on the aircraft, passengers can watch films, television programs and other content using a personal seatback screen.

Selected Boeing 787 Economy seats provide 10.6-inch screens, while Business Class seats can feature 17-inch displays.

Onboard Wi-Fi is currently available only on Boeing 787 aircraft. Oman Air offers paid connectivity packages, while Business Studio passengers receive a complimentary allowance.

Wi-Fi may be unavailable because of aircraft changes, route restrictions or technical conditions. Download essential work files and entertainment before departure.

  • Full oneworld membership

  • Comfortable Boeing 787 aircraft

  • Lie-flat Business Class seats on selected flights

  • Exclusive Business Studio suites

Tips for Booking Cheaper Oman Air Flights

Compare Super Saver, Comfort and Flex

The lowest fare is not always the best value. Comfort may cost less overall when checked baggage is required.

Search flexible dates

Moving a journey by one or two days can produce a better price, especially around school holidays, Eid, Christmas and peak summer travel periods.

Join Sindbad before booking

Add your membership number during the reservation so eligible miles and tier points are credited automatically.

Check the operating airline

A ticket carrying an Oman Air flight number may sometimes be operated by a partner. The aircraft, meals, seating and baggage conditions can therefore differ.

Purchase extras early

Add baggage, seat selection and special services before reaching the airport.

Review connection time

Muscat is relatively easy to navigate, but allow additional time when travelling with children, requiring assistance or connecting between separately issued tickets.
