Oman Air receives its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Oman Air will receive its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft in October, an aircraft that will be used on flights from Muscat to Saudi Arabia and Europe; the inaugural flight will be attended by a special guest list that includes government officials, private organizations members and media representatives -- and after the special flight, the aircraft is to enter its scheduled service on Oct. 25 for regular flights.

Oman Air will receive a second Dreamliner aircraft in November; another four are expected to be delivered by 2018.

“Oman Air’s first Dreamliner taking to the skies and landing in Salalah will mark a momentous occasion in the airline history of Oman," Oman Air Chief Operating Officer Abdulrahaman Al-Busaidy. “Once this excellent new aircraft starts to operate on routes to Europe and Saudi Arabia, it will provide the perfect environment in which to enjoy Oman Air’s unique hospitality, award-winning service and newly designed, stylish interiors."
