Oman Air launches new competitions

MUSCAT: Following the phenomenal success of its recent social media contests, Oman Air, the national carrier of Oman, has launched exciting new competitions to celebrate World Tourism Day and Diwali.

As part of its promotion for World Tourism Day, Oman Air had launched a ‘Winning Smiles’ social media competition that ran until October 11 across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The two lucky winners will receive the number of Sindbad miles required for an Economy Class ticket to their chosen destination.

Signalling Oman Air’s commitment to its Indian customers, the airline is celebrating Diwali by running a double miles promotion to its Indian destinations.

In addition to receiving double the Sindbad miles for every flight taken between October 12 and 26, guests will be entered into a free prize draw for the chance to win a return Economy Class ticket to the Indian destination of their choice. Oman Air will choose one lucky winner. Oman Air flies to 11 destinations in India and has added frequencies to some of its Indian destinations since the beginning of this year.

Mohammed Al Shikely, vice president marketing, Oman Air said, “Social media has proven to be an important tool to engage with our customers and it’s great to be able to offer some fun and engaging concepts that offer them the chance to win some amazing prizes. Oman Air is delighted by the phenomenal number of entries we’ve had for our previous contests on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – many people entered our 24th anniversary celebration competition earlier this year – and we can’t wait to see how many people enter our exciting new competitions.”
