Oman Air has launched ‘Oman Air Connect’, a new fleet of all-economy class Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, aimed at making air travel more affordable while maintaining the airline’s renowned service and comfort. This strategic move enhances connectivity across key regional markets, including the Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, and Africa.
The first aircraft from the five-plane fleet arrived earlier this month, marking a significant step in expanding Oman Air’s network to cater to evolving traveler needs. Alongside affordability, the airline is also upgrading its in-flight entertainment systems, offering a more engaging and immersive onboard experience.
Oman Air CEO Con Korfiatis emphasized the growing demand for flexible and budget-friendly travel options. “The way people travel is evolving—accessibility and choice matter more than ever. With this all-Economy fleet, we are providing guests with greater flexibility and affordability, without compromising the quality and service Oman Air is known for,” he said.
This initiative aligns with Oman Air’s three-year financial transformation strategy, launched in 2023, which focuses on market positioning and long-term sustainability. Currently serving over 40 global destinations, the airline continues to operate a mix of wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, offering diverse fare options across three cabin classes. The introduction of ‘Oman Air Connect’ reinforces the airline’s commitment to delivering high-quality travel experiences that balance affordability with world-class service.
