Oman Air has signed a global cooperation agreement with Sixt, a major international mobility service provider.

The agreement was signed by Oman Air’s CEO Paul Gregorowitsch and Sixt International’s Senior EVP Regine Sixt at a ceremony held at the International Tourism Fair (ITB) in Berlin.

It builds on Sixt’s partnership with Oman Air’s Sindbad loyalty program, which began in 2009, and the cooperation has now been extended to include the airline’s entire service portfolio.

The agreement offers significant benefits to customers of both companies. For example, customers can book their Sixt rental cars directly through www.omanair.com. Sindbad members will receive 500 bonus miles when they rent a car from Sixt, and booking the Sixt Limousine Service gives customers 1,000 bonus miles.

In addition, customers who rent their desired Sixt vehicle via Oman Air benefit from a best price guarantee and, depending on their Sindbad membership level, can receive up to 15 percent discount on every rental. Alternatively, they can opt for a free upgrade to the next higher class of vehicle.

Furthermore, Oman Air’s First and Business Class passengers can use the award-winning Sixt Limousine Service when traveling to or from Germany, Singapore, Switzerland and Thailand, as the price is already included in the ticket.

Gregorowitsch said: “The agreement that Oman Air has just signed with Sixt offers excellent benefits for customers throughout our network. Car or limousine hire is an essential element of many people’s travel plans and we are delighted to be partnering with a company that shares Oman Air’s commitment to quality, convenience and customer care.

Sixt said: “Sixt and Oman Air, the Middle East’s major airline, have collaborated in a successful partnership for years. I am very pleased that we can now significantly expand this cooperation. Together we will make our customers’ trips a special experience.”
