Launched in 1999 by Skytrax, the World Airline Awards are widely regarded as ‘the Oscars of the aviation industry’, remaining totally independent and impartial. Over 100 customer nationalities participated in the 2022-2023 survey, with travellers across the globe taking part each year in the world’s largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to decide the winners.
Distinguishing itself for its personalised service, authentic Omani hospitality, and meticulous attention to all elements of the guest journey, Oman Air continues to position itself among the world’s major carriers. Having won the ‘Best Airline Staff in the Middle East’ Award in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2021, the airline also recently earned the 2023 Five-Star Major Airline rating by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), as well as World’s Leading Airline: Business Class, World’s Leading Airline: Customer Experience, and World’s Leading Airline Lounge at the World Travel Awards 2022.
