Business Insider places Oman Air in top 10 of world’s best airlines

Business Insider, the US-based global business news website with 38.4 million monthly unique visitors, has placed Oman Air in the top 10 of its just-published list of the world’s best airlines for flying Economy Class. Oman Air achieved ninth place in the list, beating many of the best-known giants of the aviation industry.
Acting CEO of Oman Air Salim Al-Kindy said: “We are proud and delighted that Business Insider has recognized the outstanding quality offered by Oman Air and has listed us as one of the 10 best airlines in the world. Oman Air’s long-haul Economy Class experience offers extremely high levels of space and comfort, outstanding service and superb inflight technology, including mobile phone and wi-fi connectivity, large personal entertainment screens, live satellite TV and all the latest movies and music. When this is combined with the traditional Omani hospitality that is Oman Air’s trademark, we are confident that our passengers can enjoy the very best that 21st Century air travel has to offer.”
The Business Insider World’s Best Airlines list was compiled using the criteria of the quality of the passenger experience and the airline’s punctuality. The passenger experience was assessed using data supplied by Skytrax, the independent airline quality experts, and covering seat comfort, in-flight entertainment, cabin cleanliness and condition, quality of meals served, service efficiency, and cabin safety standards.
Data on airline punctuality covered the period from April 1 to May 31 and was supplied by Flightstats.com. The punctuality figures included the performance of codeshare partners and was given a weighting of 30 percent in the final results, while the passenger experience was given a 70 percent weighting.
Oman Air’s Economy Class seats aboard its long-haul Airbus A330 fleet offer a 34-inch pitch, adjustable head and leg rests and a 10.4-inch seatback inflight entertainment screen.
