The Omani national airline offers tickets for sale and details of how they can be purchased has been published.

Milano Expo 2015 takes place between May 1st and October 31st 2015 and will follow the theme of ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’.

This unique and extraordinary event will last for six months and is dedicated to the challenges of nutrition and sustainable development.

It will provide a neutral global platform upon which all stakeholders can gather to share common goals and combine the best ideas and contributions to create a useful legacy for the future.

It will also provide a showcase for innovation and inspiration, as well as opportunities to network and to share experiences and best practice on sustainability and nutrition.

Around 148 countries, including the Sultanate of Oman, will take part and, in addition to the 20 million anticipated visitors, one billion people are expected to attend online.

As a Preferred Authorised Reseller, Oman Air will sell tickets for EXPO Milano 2015 to tour operators, travel agents, government offices, companies, schools, colleges and individual travellers.

In addition, Oman Air Holidays will soon be releasing details of attractive packages which include flights, accommodation and event tickets.

These will be offered throughout the duration of the EXPO, from May 1st to October 31st 2015.
