Oman Air inks codeshare deal with Garuda
MUSCAT, June 9, 2015
Leading airlines Oman Air and Garuda Indonesia have entered into a new codeshare agreement that will offer greater choice and convenience for customers of both carriers.
The agreement will enable Oman Air’s customers to book flights, operated by Garuda Indonesia, between Jakarta and Bali, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
In turn, Garuda Indonesia’s customers will be able to book flights, operated by Oman Air, between Muscat and Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta or Salalah.
Abdulrahaman Al-Busaidy, chief operating officer of Oman Air, said: “Oman Air is delighted to be partnering with Garuda Indonesia as it shares Oman Air’s commitment to offering the highest quality of service and hospitality, aboard outstanding aircraft. Since the launch at the end of last year of Oman Air’s new service from Muscat to Jakarta, we have been delighted with our customers’ response and the new codeshare will enable them to travel further afield without booking with multiple airlines.”
Oman Air is currently engaged in an ambitious fleet and network expansion programme which will see the number of aircraft it operates increase to 50 by 2018, and to 70 by 2020. In addition it is launching new services to a range of exciting destinations, increasing frequencies on many of its established routes and improving connections at Muscat International Airport.
The carrier launched new services to Jakarta and Manila in December 2014, and recently opened up new routes to Singapore and Goa. – TradeArabia News Service
