Oman Air celebrates five years of flying into London

Oman Air returns to World Travel Market (WTM) in London this month to celebrate five years of operating its flagship daily nonstop and direct route between Muscat and London.
The route was launched in November 2007, initially flying into Gatwick, before switching in 2009 to Heathrow Terminal 3.
Over its five years of operation, the route has seen the introduction of brand new Airbus A330 aircraft and the unveiling of Oman Air’s first-ever First Class cabin, the launch of the world’s first full in-flight connectivity with both mobile phone and wifi Internet access, and the confirmation of the UK as the source of the greatest number of visitors to Oman.
Oman Air will be represented at World Travel Market by its Chief Commercial Officer Abdulrazaq Al-Raisi and Country Manager for UK and Ireland Rohan Alce.
They will be joined by teams from both Oman and the UK and the airline’s magnificent two-story stand, built with a blend of traditional Omani and modern design.
Oman Air’s CEO Wayne Pearce said: “We are looking forward to once again having a major presence at World Travel Market, where Oman Air will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of its service between Muscat and London.”
The CEO added: “This route has been a resounding success for Oman Air, confirming London as a flagship destination within our continuously growing network and underlying the valued and long-established relationship between the two countries.”
In addition to the fifth anniversary celebration, Oman Air will be showcasing its A330 Business Class seat, following its second consecutive win in the World’s Best Business Class Airline Seat category of the World Airline Awards.
