MUSCATOman Air has officially joined the oneworld® alliance as its 15th member airline, creating significant new benefits for its guests and elevating Oman’s position on the global map. After a more than two-year integration journey, Oman Air now enters oneworld’s worldwide network of leading airlines, offering seamless travel to over 900 destinations in 170 countries and territories.

As a full oneworld member airline, Oman Air’s top tier guests will gain access to all oneworld priority benefits including a network of nearly 700 Business lounges globally, as well as newly opened oneworld branded lounges in Amsterdam’s Schiphol and Seoul’s Incheon Airports. Likewise, Oman Air will provide oneworld Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby customers with a full suite of oneworld benefits including earning and redeeming miles, earning status points, priority check-in and boarding and lounge access.

Bringing the world closer to Oman, Oman Air’s entry into the alliance significantly enhances global access to the Sultanate. Through seamless connectivity across the airline’s 15 world-class member airlines, travellers from key markets like the United States, Japan and Australia, can now enjoy smoother, more convenient journeys to Oman.

“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,” said Con Korfiatis, CEO of Oman Air. “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, and equally, to expand opportunities for seamless global travel for guests in Oman.”

“We are proud to welcome Oman Air to the oneworld family," added Nat Pieper, CEO of oneworld. "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 leading alliance for international travellers."

The announcement comes as Oman Air continues expanding its network, including the launch of a non-stop Muscat–Amsterdam route from 1 July 2025 and an expanded double daily Muscat-London route starting in October. Oman Air now serves 42 destinations across 22 countries, with onward connections to hundreds more through the oneworld alliance.
