Oman Air has collected the Airline of the Year award

at France’s Continue reading “Oman Air wins an Award – one of several recently”
Oman Air is a great representative for Oman, and here is one of the reasons. Oman Air has been ranked the best performing airline at London Heathrow in July; great news for people flying into Oman for Holidays with us.

Oman’s national airline was Continue reading “Oman Air achieves more distinction”
the first of perhaps more than 10 new jets arrive into Muscat
Oman Air has taken delivery of the first of its new A330-200 Airbus jets. These are configured for 216 passengers, including 20 business class seats and 196 economy class seats.

That should allow more comfort to visitors flying from London Heathrow, Paris, Munich & Frankfurt into Muscat.
The airline is expecting 7 planes with an option of 6 more.
and an early arrival home
The 22.35 Oman Air flight turns out to be the last flight scheduled from Heathrow each day.

Frankfurt and Munich will be connected to Muscat by a direct Oman Air flight in September according to Reuters. Then, in October Oman Air will fly into Paris .

Oman Air offers a new route from mid January
Oman Air will be flying into Muscat from Heathrow in 2009. I must admit that the schedule suits me well at Heathrow – leaving at 2130 and getting in to Muscat the following morning at 0845 – the flight from Muscat at 13.20 is equally good and arrives at Heathrow at 1740. But Gatwick I found, on what I have to say will probably be only my second visit in my life, was far easier to get around and the train in from Charing Cross was so easy. I don’t expect they will run both – or will they?
Update – new times (as of 30 Aug 2009 – are depart Heathrow 22.35 and arrive 09.15 and from Muscat to Heathrow depart 13.45 and arrive Heathrow 19.05
Flying from the green of an English Summer into Muscat on Oman Air
The rain of a typical British Summer has kept trees in early summer leaf (except the Horse Chestnut which, where we live, has been badly affected by the new fungus which creates an Autumn brown off in early July).

On the ground the constant downpours have forced the birds of the garden under the creepers, Continue reading “Oman Air to Muscat”
