Our Achievements
 

Oman Air has contributed more to the technological advance of commercial aviation than any other airline. But during its formative years, when aviation was yet young, Oman Air was always in the vanguard of progress. We have had numerous achievements in the past twelve years.

 

From  its inception in 1993 until now, Oman Air has witnessed only success. The tiny airline, which began operating only one aircraft for its flights to Salalah, has now grown to a mighty airline ready to challenge all major airlines.

 

Four months later,  Oman Air commenced its first international flight to Dubai. In the very same year another event marked an important milestone in Oman Air’s record of achievements. The first flight to India, Trivandrum that was like a dream come true.

 

Oman Air soon started expanding its destinations and aircraft and now it flies to more than 15 destinations throughout the world with a fleet of 8 next generation Boeing 737 aircraft and 4 new ATR aircraft.

 

We have obtained approval for maintenance from bodies such as the Shell Aircraft (UK) and the Airclaims (UK).

 

 

 

Oman Air successfully completes the International Air Transport Association’s Operational Safety Audits. Oman Air attributes the successful completion of the audit to its conforming with the standards and regulations set by IATA. This places the airline to be in the list of companies that comply with internationally recognized safety standards.

 

Oman Air bagged The Oman award for Excellence, as  tourism promoter for 2001. The award is instituted by OCIPED to recognise accomplishments of individuals and organizations that contribute to the Oman economy.

 

Oman Air Ground Operations Department was awarded the AHS 1000 excellence certificate from IATA for compliance with the quality and control standards as per IATA specification No. 804.The catering business unit of the Oman Aviation Services at Muscat International Airport was awarded the prestigious ISO 9001 2000 accreditation by the auditors, KPMG. This award has been the result of teamwork and the development of a culture towards improving customer services and maintaining the highest standards of catering to the clients of Oman Air and the Oman Aviation Services.

 

Oman Air is the Second Middle East carrier to issue e-Ticket (ET). Muscat, Salalah and Dubai routes were ET enabled on 26th September 2005. Efforts are made to target 100% e-ticketing by end of 2006 while IATA mandate is 2007.

 

The fame and reputation that we have achieved in the past few years is the result of dedication, hard work and perseverance. We aim to improve our services and technology and always provide customer satisfaction.
