Oman Air has announced that new graduates from high schools in Oman are to receive a 25 percent discount on return flights to enable them to continue their studies overseas. The discounts will apply to all booking classes but will not include promotional fares.
To be eligible for the discounts, students must be Omani citizens, aged between 18 and 25 years old at the time of travel. They should have just graduated from high school or an equivalent educational institution. In addition, they will have to be accepted for full-time study on an accredited course at an overseas college or university.
The discounts apply to international destinations that lie within Oman Air’s expanding international network and are where students are enrolled. Students will be entitled to an enhanced baggage allowance of 10 kg above the weight normally permitted and one flight rescheduling can be made at no extra charge.
Discounted tickets are available only through the airline’s local offices and outlets in Oman and can be booked upon presentation of a photocopy of a valid student ID card, or a formal letter issued by the head of faculty or the higher education ministry.
Oman Air’s Country Manager for Oman Jamal Bin Saif Al-Azki, said: “Oman Air is delighted to offer our nation’s new high school graduates the opportunity to save money when they travel overseas to continue their studies. As the national carrier of Oman, we are proud to be making this investment in the country’s future and to be providing extra motivation to achieve their full potential."
He added: “We look forward to welcoming many more students aboard our award-winning aircraft as they fly to seats of learning throughout the Middle East and the rest of Asia, and Europe.”
Oman Air’s 25 percent discount for students is available from now until Dec. 31.
