Oman Air, the national airline of gulf state of Oman, has officially become the latest airline in the oneworld alliance. This adds to the growth of oneworld, following on as it does from Fiji Air joining the alliance.
According to Nat Pieper, CEO of oneworld:
We are proud to welcome Oman Air to the oneworld family.
Oman Air brings valuable strategic reach and award-winning product and service to the alliance. This partnership opens up exciting new connections for our customers, particularly across the Gulf and South Asia, and reinforces oneworld’s position as the premium alliance for international travellers
Con Korfiatis, CEO of Oman Air said
Oman Air is honoured to be joining the oneworld alliance, whose members and global footprint represent the best of what international travellers want to experience.
We are thrilled to be able to welcome oneworld customers to the Sultanate of Oman to experience our unique culture, stunning mountain excursions, beautiful beaches, and, above all, the warm hospitality of the Omani people.
Qantas Frequent Flyers and Oman Air
As a member of oneworld, Qantas Frequent Flyers should be able to earn and redeem Qantas Points on Oman Air services. At the time of writing, Qantas had not updated its tables to reflect this. That said, they will probably update the tables shortly.
On the redemption side of the equation, Qantas notes that Business Rewards are temporarily unavailable. However, Economy Reward seats should be available to be booked.
