Oman Air is celebrating major success at the prestigious World Travel Awards 2015. For the second year in a row, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman has won the ‘World’s Leading Airline Economy Class 2015’ title. And in a move which confirmed the attention to detail for its premium customers, the airline’s lounge at Muscat International Airport was also named ‘World’s Leading Airport Lounge – Business Class 2015’.
The awards were presented at a dazzling red-carpet gala ceremony, held at the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort in El Jadida, Morocco, on 12 December.
Welcoming the accolades, Oman Air Chief Executive Officer Paul Gregorowitsch said: “We are honoured and delighted to accept these very prestigious awards. Oman Air’s Economy Class combines superb service with outstanding comfort on both long haul and short haul flights. Whether you are flying to an intercontinental destination aboard our brand-new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, award winning A330’s or to a regional destination aboard our state of the art Boeing 737 fleet, you can be sure that you are experiencing the very best in 21st Century air travel.
“Our Business Class lounge at Muscat International Airport has offered unparalleled comfort and amenity since it opened a number of years ago. However, we have recently reopened it following a period of substantial refurbishment. The lounge now offers an even more enjoyable environment in which to relax, make the most of Oman Air’s warm hospitality and prepare for your flight.
“As Oman Air continues its programme of fleet and network expansion, we look forward to welcoming many more customers to experience our legendary Omani hospitality and award winning service. In the meantime, I would like to thank the World Travel Awards and all those who voted for Oman Air for this wonderful recognition.”

Each features spacious and comfortable Economy Class seating, with pitches varying between 30 and 34 inches, depending on the aircraft type.
