Oman Air moves to Heathrow

Oman Air has secured valuable slots at London’s Heathrow airport to launch non-stop flights from Heathrow to Muscat in Oman. Oman Air currently operates a daily service to Muscat from London Gatwick but will move its operation to Heathrow from 15 January 2009.

Flights will conveniently depart Heathrow at 2130, arriving Muscat the following morning at 0845, in time for a full day’s business or a day at leisure. Return flights depart Muscat at 1320 and arrive at Heathrow at 1740, offering ample connecting time for regional departures throughout the UK and Ireland.

The flights will continue to be operated with a wide-bodied Airbus A310 aircraft, offering both a Business Class and Economy Class service. The airline’s new state-of-the-art Airbus A330 aircraft, due to be delivered from the manufacturer next summer, will be placed on the route from August 2009.

At the same time Oman Air will also vastly improve its connectivity at Muscat, offering many convenient onward connections from Heathrow to destinations throughout the Gulf region and India.

Oman Air currently operates a fleet of 2 Airbus A310 aircraft, 10 Boeing 737 aircraft and 4 ATR 42 aircraft to 27 destinations worldwide.
