By the end of this month, Oman Air will also receive the first of its three 787-9 Dreamliner on order, two of which will have a new First Class product with eight private suites, 24 Business class seats and 232 Economy seats.

The aircraft will be equipped with leading technology, latest in comfort and amenities, including cutting edge entertainment to enhance the travel experience of their guests.

Oman Air began on June 1 a new daily flight from its hub Muscat to the Turkish city of Istanbul.
