Oman Air is set to finalize its membership in the Oneworld airline alliance by the second quarter of next year, according to CEO Con Korfiatis. This marks a delay in the Muscat-based carrier's plan, initially announced in 2022, to join the alliance this year. The delay was confirmed at the Routes World conference in Bahrain on October 7.
Korfiatis did not specify reasons for the delay but emphasized the benefits of joining Oneworld. "The alliance allows you to get a significant expansion" without using Oman Air's own aircraft, he stated. The airline's network currently spans from London to Manila and includes destinations like Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
Oman Air operates 33 aircraft, including Boeing 737s and 787s, with additional orders placed for more of these models. Despite speculation about expanding routes, Korfiatis confirmed that U.S. flights are not being considered at this time.
