MUSCAT : Applicable only to Omanis, the one-way fare has been fixed at RO 35 all through the year and RO 54 for return ticket during the khareef season.

The announcement was made during the Third Media Meeting held on Saturday, March 30, to Review Developments in the Transformation Plan of Oman Air Company.

Speaking on the occasion, H.E. Saeed bin Hamoud Al Maawali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology and Chairman of the Oman Air Board of Directors, pointed out that the fares would be applicable for Omanis flying in the economy class.

His Excellency explained Oman Air’s transformation plan, which has undertaken many initiatives since March 2023, most notably the strategic changes in flight destinations for the winter 2023 season, has led to a reduction in the number of flights on the same routes.

He further stated that all unnecessary expenditures have been stopped in all the company’s various departments, such as sponsorships and the reduction and cancellation of a number of unnecessary service contracts for the company.

Oman Air was able to close the fiscal year 2023 without obtaining any additional bank loans or government guarantees, he added, pointing out that the company’s fleets improved by 9 percent, as more than 6 million passengers were transported across the company’s various destinations, and more than 45,000 scheduled flights were operated.

During the current year, the company seeks to conclude new partnership agreements with international airlines based on quantitative analysis, while establishing specific pricing mechanisms and controls to ensure that the company benefits fairly from them and rationalizes expenses and costs in various departments and operations.
