Oman Air has taken delivery of its ninth Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, a move that extends its ongoing fleet modernisation programme and strengthens its long-term operational capabilities. The arrival of the new aircraft is part of a broader expansion plan the airline is implementing to raise operational efficiency and increase capacity on high-demand international routes.
Since the type joined the airline's fleet in 2015, Oman Air has benefited from its fuel efficiency and advanced technologies to improve operational performance on a number of its most important intercontinental routes, including London, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, as well as Paris and Amsterdam, according to a press release published on the Oman Air website.
The new aircraft is the third to join the fleet since 2024, while the airline is preparing to receive six additional aircraft in 2027, helping to meet growing demand for travel to and from the Sultanate of Oman and supporting its goals on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
For his part, Con Korfiatis, Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air, said the Dreamliner is among the most advanced and popular wide-body aircraft types in the world, adding that it offers a balance between efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort. He stressed that the arrival of the new aircraft reinforces the airline's commitment to modernising its fleet and supporting the expansion of its global network.
The aircraft features a two-class cabin with 30 seats in Business Class and 258 seats in Economy Class, supporting Oman Air's efforts to provide higher levels of comfort and seamless travel experiences for its customers.
