Oman Air to add second daily flight to London

Joining Oman Air’s existing daily service between the two capitals, the new service is in response to overwhelming demand from travellers for flights between Muscat and London, and from London to onward destinations in the Middle East and Asia, the airline said in a press release. Paul Gregorowitsch, Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air, said, “We are delighted to be launching a second daily frequency between Muscat and London. The popularity of Muscat as a destination for UK travellers has never been greater. Furthermore, the longstanding links between the UK and Oman ensure that London remains one of the most popular destinations for Omani travellers.” The new service will fly through the night, departing Muscat at 01.25 and arriving in London Heathrow at 06.30. Return flights will depart Heathrow Terminal 4 at 08.30 and arrive in Muscat at 18.55. Gregorowitsch continued, “Our customers have expressed a strong desire for a second frequency into London and we are very pleased to be meeting that demand with this new service. Whilst our existing service operates from Terminal 3 at Heathrow, the new service will operate from Terminal 4.” Both Oman Air’s routes to London are operated by Airbus A330-300s, each of which offer fully lie-flat seats in First Class and Business Class, along with a 2-4-2 configuration in Economy.
