Frankfurt, Germany, has become one of the first destinations for Oman Air’s 787 aircraft. The aircraft began flying daily between Muscat and Frankfurt on Sunday October 25, 2015.

Oman Air has initially ordered six 787s, with the first two being delivered this autumn. Four more will follow before the end of 2018. The carrier’s expansion of its long haul fleet is part of a broader fleet and network expansion programme, currently underway. This will see Oman Air operate 25 wide-body and 45 narrow-body aircraft by 2020.
