MUSCAT: Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate, has announced a new codeshare agreement with Bangkok Airways, offering greater connectivity and an extended range of services between Muscat and popular Thai cities.
The new agreement, which went into force yesterday, was signed by Aboudy Nasser, Senior Vice President of Network Planning & Revenue Management for Oman Air, and Pakorn Rattanarod, Director of Route Profitability and Alliance for Bangkok Airways.

Oman Air’s guests travelling on Bangkok Airways will enjoy the boutique airline’s high level of service, lounge access and in-flight meals.
Codeshares are an important part of Oman Air’s expansion strategy, providing greater choice, convenience and a seamless travel experience. The codeshare will support Oman Air and Bangkok Airways operations between the two countries.
