Oman Air and Garuda Indonesia have entered a new codeshare agreement that will offer greater choice and convenience for customers of both airlines.

The agreement will enable Oman Air’s customers to book flights, operated by Garuda Indonesia between Jakarta and Bali, and Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

In turn, Garuda Indonesia’s customers will be able to book flights, operated by Oman Air, between Muscat and Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta or Salalah.

Abdulrahaman Al-Busaidy, chief operating officer of Oman Air, said: “Oman Air is delighted to be partnering with Garuda Indonesia to offer customers of both airlines even greater choice and convenience. Garuda Indonesia shares Oman Air’s commitment to offering the highest quality of service and hospitality aboard outstanding aircraft.”

He added: “Since the launch at the end of last year of Oman Air’s new service from Muscat to Jakarta, we have been delighted with our customers’ response and the new codeshare will enable them to travel further afield without booking with multiple airlines. Equally, Garuda Indonesia’s customers will now find that flying to Oman could be easier. Oman Air looks forward to welcoming Garuda Indonesia’s customers and offering them the very best of authentic Omani hospitality.”

Garuda Indonesia Commercial Director Handayani said: “This partnership will extend our network worldwide, especially to Oman, and represents our commitment to ‘bring the world to Indonesia’ by providing seamless yet convenient connections between Oman and Indonesia. At the same time, the agreement is expected to boost trade and tourism activities by making Indonesia much more accessible for Oman visitors,” Handayani added.


“Moreover, through this partnership, we also offer greater choices and wider access flexibility for Oman visitors to several destinations served by Garuda Indonesia such as Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, which will be served with the award-winning service — Garuda Indonesia Experience,” she added.
