Oman Air reintroduces signature Iftar boxes

The boxes are available in all cabin classes and feature a new design that incorporates the traditional Ramadan symbol of the night sky

MUSCAT: In celebration of the holy month of Ramadan, Oman Air, the national carrier for the Sultanate of Oman, has reintroduced its signature Iftar boxes on select flights to and from the Gulf region.

The boxes are available in all cabin classes and feature a new design that incorporates the traditional Ramadan symbol of the night sky.

The new Iftar box contains slices of fresh seasonal fruits, an assortment of finger sandwiches, dates and traditional basbousa and laban, enabling Muslim passengers to break their fast with healthy snacks.

Specially-designed complimentary bags will also be given to guests in premium cabins who would like to enjoy their after sunset meal having disembarked.

Ramadan is an important religious festival during which Oman Air is committed to showcasing its Middle Eastern hospitality to all its Muslim and non-Muslim guests. Muslim guests will be able to enjoy Ramadan-themed feature programmes that will run alongside the airline’s renowned inflight entertainment.

Entitled Ramadaniyat Specials, the programmes will include documentaries, lifestyle, and cooking shows, such as Ma QalWa Dal, Qomrah, Khawater, Ramadan in Kenya, and NemaDayma. Full dining services will still be available for all non-Muslim guests during Ramadan.

Abdulaziz Alraisi, executive vice president, Products and Brand Development, said: “We always make every effort to provide a high-quality service for our guests and our Ramadan offering perfectly demonstrates how we cater to all our guests’ needs.”
