Oman Air announces new codeshare pact with Lufthansa

- BUSINESS REPORTER MUSCAT, AUG 6

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate, is continuing its expansion across Europe by extending its codeshare agreement with Lufthansa.

Under the expanded codeshare agreement, passengers can now travel on Oman Air flights from Muscat Internatio­nal Airport and connect to Madrid, Brussels, Vienna and Prague from Lufthansa’s Frankfurt and Munich hubs.

The agreement offers travellers even better connectivi­ty and an extended range of services between Muscat and Europe. Guests of both airlines will benefit from the greater convenienc­e and the agreement is the latest step in developing closer links between Oman Air and Lufthansa, both of which share a commitment to deliver excellence in customer service.

Lufthansa will continue to codeshare with Oman Air on Oman Air-operated services from both Frankfurt and Munich to Muscat and vice versa, allowing their guests to experience the hospitalit­y and service of Oman Air. Oman Air’s guests will be spoilt for choice as they will be able to fly onwards to Brussels Airport (BRU), Vienna Internatio­nal Airport (VIE), Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) and Madrid-barajas Airport (MAD) in Europe. Both Oman Air and Lufthansa offer outstandin­g choice for customers and the new codeshare between the two airlines will maximise the travel opportunit­ies offered to passengers through their extensive networks.

Abdulaziz al Raisi, CEO, Oman Air, said, “Strategic codeshares are a crucial way for us to broaden customer choice. Our continued relationsh­ip with Lufthansa is very important for Oman Air, and we are delighted to offer our valued guests even better connectivi­ty in Europe.”

To avail of these European destinatio­ns, Oman Air’s guests can book flights via the Oman Air’s website to and from Madrid, Brussels, Vienna and Prague from Muscat Internatio­nal Airport, connecting through Frankfurt Internatio­nal Airport (FRA) or Munich Airport (MUC). To ensure guests have a seamless travel experience, passengers will be able to check in their baggage, and receive boarding passes for the final destinatio­n.
