Oman is known as the "gem of Arabia" for its stunning natural landscapes, white sandy beaches, rich heritage in tradition and culture, hospitable and friendly people, and luxury hotels. Oman Air’s joining will add new destinations to the oneworld network, including Duqm and Khasab in Oman.

Oman Air was founded in 1993 and is the national airline of Oman. The airline offers commercial flights to both domestic and international destinations, as well as regional air taxi and charter flights. Oman Air operates from its headquarters in Muscat City, with hubs at Muscat International Airport and Salalah International Airport.
