This is for the second year in a row that Oman Air has taken the titles, which are voted for by travel and tourism professionals worldwide.
Abdulrahman Al Busaidy, the chief operating officer of Oman Air, said, "It is particularly satisfying to receive these awards now. We are just a few months into our ambitious programme of fleet and network expansion. This will see us increase the size of our fleet from 30 aircraft at the start of the programme, to 50 by 2018, and to 70 by 2020. Each of the new aircraft features newly-designed cabins, spacious and comfortable new Business Class and Economy Class seats and the very latest in-flight entertainment technology."
On receiving the awards, Mohammed Al Shikely, general manager, marketing of Oman Air, said, "I am honoured to accept both these awards, on behalf of everyone at Oman Air. I am delighted that people throughout the global travel industry have been so impressed by our Business Class and Economy Class services, and I would like to thank them for voting for Oman Air."
"Oman Air has added a number of exciting new destinations to our network, increased frequencies on some of our established routes and improved connections at Muscat International Airport. As a result, many thousands more people will have the opportunity to experience Oman Air's outstanding Business Class and Economy Class services," he said.
Graham E Cooke, president and founder of the World Travel Awards, added, "Many congratulations to Oman Air! These World Travel Award accolades recognise the commitment to excellence and continuing endeavours to improve products and services which Oman Air has demonstrated in the last twelve months."
Oman Air's new long haul business class cabin offers 24 seats, each of which converts to a 77-inch/196cm long fully lie-flat bed.
The seats are fitted in a 2-2-2 configuration and, thanks to an ingenious cabin layout, provide direct aisle access for every passenger.
