Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has introduced a new WhatsApp service which enables its guests to communicate instantly with airline staff via the popular messaging app. Clients who opt for this service can now receive their booking confirmations, check-in notifications, boarding passes, flight status updates in addition to other requested information, directly through the messaging app.
The service offers secure, efficient and personalised customer interaction between the airline and the customer, with no third party interference.

The new service will go a long way towards enhancing the customer experience for today’s always-connected customers. Furthermore, the WhatsApp feature is in line with the Oman Air’s journey to digitalisation.”
Oman Air Guests can simply access the service by sending a message to +96871960111. A dedicated team from Oman Air’s call center will adequately handle all guests’ communications. The service is currently available from 8 am to 2 pm with future plans to extend the same to 24/7.
