Oman Air—the national carrier of Oman—announced the reception of its ninth Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
Oman Air has leveraged
the modern technologies and fuel efficiency of this aircraft type to enhance
operational efficiency on several of its key long-haul intercontinental routes,
including vital destinations such as London, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, in addition
to Paris and Amsterdam.
This new aircraft is
the third to join the fleet since 2024, in addition to six aircraft that are
expected to be delivered in 2027.
This contributes
significantly to meeting the increasing demand for travel to and from the
Sultanate of Oman, and supports the company's efforts aimed at achieving
long-term sustainability and reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Con Korfiatis, CEO of
Oman Air, stated that the Dreamliner is one of the most popular and advanced
wide-body aircraft globally, achieving a perfect balance between efficiency,
reliability, and passenger comfort.
He added that the
addition of the ninth aircraft reinforces Oman Air's continuous commitment to
building a modern fleet that supports its network expansion and elevates the
travel experience to new horizons.
