National carrier Oman Air lent its support to the sultanate's tourism ministry as it hosted a special Omani themed workshop aimed at promoting the country's tourism stakeholders, to celebrate the upcoming Moscow service in October.

The event provided a perfect opportunity to introduce Oman Air to the Russian market as well as showcase the unique hospitality and culture of Oman.

The event which was held last week in Moscow saw important personnel from Oman in attendance. Over 200 highly regarded tour operators attended the event, with delegates from Oman Air. In addition to Oman Air, Oman Ministry of Tourism was joined by key hotel partners including Anantara, Kempinski, Shangri-La, and Crowne Plaza Muscat.

The new daily service to Moscow Domodedovo Airport will be operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8 with an estimated flight time of 5 hours and 55 minutes, offering 12 seats in Business Class and 150 in Economy.
