Oman Air has earned two further World Travel Awards, with voters recognising the carrier with the titles of World’s Leading Airline – First Class and World’s Leading Airline to the Middle East.

Oman Air chief executive, Abdulaziz Al Raisi, said achieving these awards from an internationally acclaimed organisation is a tremendous honour.

“Standing out among all the excellent airlines in this region and across the globe reflects that everyone works with dedication to providing exceptional service to all our guests,” he added.

“I am particularly proud of the fact that we have won major awards for our service in first, business and economy class, which makes it clear that we provide world-leading service to all our guests.

“Additionally, there is intense competition among carriers which provide service to our region; Oman Air being named the best airline for service to the Middle East is something that says a lot.”

These accomplishments are more important than ever, said Graham Cooke, founder of the World Travel Awards.

In spite of ongoing travel-related challenges, “the World Travel Awards programme saw record voting numbers from the all-important tourism consumer,” Cooke said.

These developments reflect that as people around the world plan and look forward to enjoying business and leisure travel, they “will want to know that they will be booking with only the very best”.
