Oman Air to increase flights to Heathrow, plans double daily service next summer

Travelers can expect the new flights from Oman Air to be aboard the Boeing 787-9. The schedule indicates inbound services to the UK will arrive at 05:55, coinciding with JetBlue's planned winter operations, suggesting possible seasonal schedule changes.

Oman Air's enhanced offerings will enable it to secure a greater share of the local market, which saw around 80,000 round-trip passengers in 2024. The airline's upcoming membership with oneworld, set for June, promises increased connectivity with other key providers such as British Airways and American Airlines.

In November, London Heathrow will host increased flights to the Middle East, with Oman Air’s heightened frequency contributing to as many as 50 daily flights to the region. This enhancement comes amid other strategic changes in the area's aviation landscape, including British Airways' discontinuation of its Kuwaiti service and its resumption of flights to Tel Aviv.

The expanded schedules from Heathrow encompass routes to cities including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, and Doha, with British Airways, Etihad, and Qatar Airways among the prominent airlines operating these flights.
