Oman Air deal means more flights between Bangkok and Muscat

Oman Air said earlier this week it has inked a codeshare agreement with Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) that will add flights between Bangkok and Muscat starting Monday.

Codeshare agreements allow airlines to co-sponsor and sell tickets for the same flight.

“Thai Airways International shares Oman Air’s commitment to delivering the highest quality of products and services," Oman Air Chief Operating Officer Abdulrahaman Al-Busaidy said. "Together with THAI, we will now be able to offer more customers the experience of Oman Air’s award-winning products and services between Muscat and Bangkok.”

THAI President Charamporn Jotikasthira said the agreement will allow his airline to offer three round trip flights each on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, while Oman Air will double its daily flights per week.

“With the growth in air travelers on this route, THAI is pleased that more customers from this region can experience THAI’s A330-300 aircraft which offers passengers the ambience and services inspired by the rich culture and heritage of Thailand in our elegant Royal Silk Class cabin and spacious Economy Class seating," Jotikasthira said.
