Oman Air is continuing its ambitious fleet and network expansion plan, with the airline signing a letter of intent (LOI) with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd for the sale and leaseback of two new B737-800 aircraft.
The first of the two aircraft was delivered on 25th July and the second is expected to arrive at Muscat this month.
Under Oman Air’s expansion programme, launched late 2014, the carrier is in the process of increasing its fleet size to 70 aircraft by 2020. At that point, Oman Air’s fleet will comprise 45 narrow-body aircraft and 25 wide-body aircraft, which will fly to an anticipated 75 global destinations.
Since October 2014, Oman Air has received 12 new B737s, of which seven are the -800 variant and five are -900 variant. Each is currently deployed on routes from Muscat to destinations in the GCC region, in the wider Middle East and on the South Asian sub-continent.
