Oman Air Orders Three Airbus A330 Aircraft

Oman Air has placed an order for three Airbus A330-300 aircraft, the carrier confirmed on Wednesday.

The deal, thought to be worth around $720 million based on list prices, sees the carrier grow its A330 fleet to a total of 10 planes.

The A330s can carry close to 300 passengers and will be operated on long-haul routes.

“The efficiency, reliability and passenger appeal of our in-service A330s already make the pillar of Oman Air’s long haul operations,” said Wayne Pearce, CEO of Oman Air.

“This additional order will allow us to continue our strategy of growth with an aircraft we know to be both reliable and profitable, and in addition offering the highest levels of passenger comfort.”

John Leahy, chief operating officer, Airbus, said: “We are proud to continuously grow and develop our partnership with Oman Air through our popular A330-300 aircraft.”

“The winning combination of efficiency, reliability and comfort provided by the A330 continues to delight customers and passengers worldwide and will do so for many years to come, with our consistent investment in the aircraft family.”
