Within the Middle East region, Oman Air flies to Cairo in Egypt, Beirut in Lebanon and Amman in Jordan.

Within the Subcontinent, Oman Air also flies to Chittagong in Bangladesh, Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan, Kathmandu in Nepal and Colombo in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, Oman Air flies to the Indian Ocean islands of the Maldives. Within the Far East, Oman Air destinations include Bangkok in Thailand and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

The first delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011. For the future Oman Air has ordered six Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which are scheduled for delivery in 2014.

Oman Air unveiled its First Class Mini Suite in October 2009 which marks a further milestone in Oman Air's ongoing drive for quality and comfort. Earlier in 2009, Oman Air had unveiled its new, lie-flat Business Class seat, which offers greater levels of comfort and amenity than many other airlines first class products and is fitted on all the new Airbus wide-body fleet.

Marking a pioneering milestone in the history of aviation, Oman Air has become the first airline in the world to offer both mobile telephony and Internet connectivity on board its flights.

Oman Air and Malaysia Airlines entered a code-share partnership in June 2010, opening up more international destinations to their customers. Oman Airs passengers, who currently enjoy direct flights to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, will now be connected to four new destinations in Malaysia - Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, Penang, Kuching - and two new destinations in Asia - Singapore and Hong Kong. In turn, passengers flying from Kuala-Lumpur to Muscat will be able to connect to Amman and Kuwait City, with more options from Oman to Dubai and Beirut.
