Oman Air and 2009

OMAN AIR has been the first airline to issue its 2009 figures, which no doubt will come in thick and fast over the next few weeks.  The rapidly expanding Gulf state carrier reports a 17% rise in passenger figures last year to 2.3m.  Oman Air Cargo too surged ahead posting an impressive result of 67% increase on revenue during the last year, as compared to turnout last year with 2,325,805 tons over the previous year figure of 1,984,853.  Key to the expansion was the introduction of Airbus A330 aircraft with an enhanced cabin to the airline’s specification.  The carrier introduced operations to Frankfurt, Munich and Paris, and also upgraded its three-class London operation to Heathrow.  The airline has five Embraer 175s on order for regional flights. http://www.omanair.aero
