Oman Air has placed an order for three Airbus A330-300 wide-bodied aircraft.
The aircraft will be operated on long-haul routes and amounts to an US718.2 million investment.
“The efficiency, reliability and passenger appeal of our in-service A330’s already make The Pillar of Oman Air’s long haul operations,” said Wayne Pearce, CEO of Oman Air. “This additional order will allow us to continue our strategy of growth with an aircraft we know to be both reliable and profitable, and in addition offering the highest levels of passenger comfort.”
Oman Air already has seven A330s in service, one of which was forced to make an emergency landing while en route to Kuala Lumpur from Muscat.
A passenger onboard had told crew that he had been informed a bomb was onboard, but when the aircraft returned to Muscat no explosives were found. The Tuesday flight took off again eight hours later.
