Muscat-based Oman Air has announced that it has received the first of three Boeing 787 Dreamliners scheduled to be delivered to the airline this year. While these aircraft will help the airline expand its operations, they are also special because they will be configured with two cabin classes, featuring the airline's new Business Class product. One of three Oman Air today took delivery of the first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft and the airline stated that it would be receiving two more aircraft of the type from Boeing by the end of the year.
This aircraft will be the 10th example of the Dreamliner within the airline's fleet, which currently features two of the smaller 787-8s and eight of the larger 787-9s. While the airline is expecting to receive two more Dreamliners by the end of the year, the carrier will still have five more 787-9s on order, and these aircraft are scheduled to be delivered by 2027. The airline CEO, Con Korfiatis, stated, "We’re excited to welcome our new Boeing B787-9 to our aircraft line-up, which aligns with our strategy to fly a modern and common Oman Air fleet.
It allows us to maintain efficiency in operations, .
