Oman Air Business Class

Oman Air is the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, operating an all-Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet on long-haul routes from its hub at Muscat International Airport. Serving destinations across Europe, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and East Africa, Oman Air positions itself as a boutique Gulf carrier with a focus on Omani hospitality. The airline offers a quieter, more refined alternative to the mega-carriers based in Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi, often at significantly lower fares.

Seat and cabin

Oman Air’s 787-9 business class features a 1-2-1 staggered configuration with direct aisle access at every seat. The lie-flat seats extend to approximately 76 inches in pitch and measure 20 inches in width, converting to a fully flat sleeping surface. Each seat includes a 17-inch touchscreen display, USB and power outlets, and adjustable mood lighting. The cabin is finished with Omani-inspired design elements and uses Dreamliner ambient lighting to reduce jet lag.

Dining and service

The airline serves multi-course meals reflecting Omani and Middle Eastern cuisine alongside international options. Menus rotate seasonally and are complemented by a selection of wines, spirits, and signature Arabic coffee with dates. Service is warm and attentive, drawing from Oman’s tradition of hospitality. A dine-on-demand option is available on select longer routes.

Lounge access

At Muscat International Airport, business class passengers access the Oman Air First and Business Class Lounge, which offers buffet dining, à la carte options, shower facilities, and a dedicated quiet area.
