Oman Air has been named as the winner of the 'Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East' award at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2015. The award was presented at a ceremony held at the Paris Air Show recently. It recognises the commitment of Oman Air's staff to providing the airline's customers with quality, comfort and a seamless passenger experience.

 

Oman Air also achieved acclaim in six further categories of the awards. The airline's renowned Business Class service attained top-ten places in the 'World's Best Business Class Airline', 'Best Business Class Airline Seats', 'Best Business Class Airline Catering' and 'Best Business Class Comfort Amenities' categories. Oman Air also achieved top-ten places in the 'Best First Class Airline Catering' and 'Best Economy Class Airline Seats' categories of the awards.

 

 

 

Abdulrahaman Al-Busaidy, Chief Operating Officer at Oman Air, commented:

 

"We are delighted that Oman Air has been recognised by the World Airline Awards for our outstanding staff service. To have won this award two years in a row, and to have achieved high rankings in a further six categories of the awards this year, is testament to the extraordinarily high standards of hospitality that our staff offer to all our customers. That hospitality is an extension of Omani culture, so this award is recognition not only of Oman Air's service, but also of the warm welcome offered to every visitor to Oman.

 

"Furthermore, the timing of this award could not have been more appropriate. We are currently engaged in a programme of expansion that will see us operate 70 aircraft to around 75 destinations by 2020. In recent months we have increased the size of our fleet and launched new services to Manila, Jakarta, Goa and Singapore. We have also increased frequencies on a number of established routes and we plan to unveil more new destinations later in the year. As a result, many thousands more customers will have the opportunity to experience Oman Air's award-winning staff service."

 

The World Airline Awards provide the most prestigious accolades available within the air travel industry. Not only are they entirely independent of any commercial pressures, but they are voted for by the industry's most exacting and demanding judges – air travellers. The World Airline Awards therefore offer an unparalleled benchmark for the quality of the products and services that airlines offer and it is an honour to receive this acclaim.
