Muscat Oman Air received delivery of its latest Boeing B787-9 aircraft, the first of three scheduled for this year.
Part of an existing order, which includes eight more aircraft by 2027, the newest marks the tenth Dreamliner in the airline’s fleet.
The B787-9 is known for its innovative design and exceptional fuel efficiency, while its wide cabins and large windows offer unparalleled onboard comfort for guests. The aircraft touched down in Muscat on Friday afternoon, arriving from the Boeing facility in Seattle.
“We’re excited to welcome our new Boeing B787-9 to our aircraft line-up, which aligns with our strategy to fly a modern and common Oman Air fleet. It allows us to maintain efficiency in operations, optimize maintenance costs and ensure a seamless and consistent experience for our guests,” said Con Korfiatis, Chief Executive Officer. “Our latest addition to the fleet is also consistent with our focus on transforming our airline towards financial sustainability while upholding our reputation as a world-class carrier and supporting Oman’s ambitions to increase tourism and connectivity in the years to come.”
The newest aircraft features a two-class configuration with 30 Business Class seats and 258 Economy Class seats and will serve across the airline’s network of destinations.
