Bmi has forged a codeshare deal with Oman Air to allow passengers to book flights from UK airports through to Muscat.
The arrangement covers flights from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Belfast and Manchester via Heathrow where the Gulf carrier operates Airbus A330 flights to Oman from Terminal 3.
Bmi chief commercial officer Joerg Hennemann said: “Our new codeshare with Oman Air further extends our global reach and will enable seamless and convenient travel connections for customers of both airlines between the Sultanate and key regional cities of the UK.”
Oman Air chief executive Peter Hill said that the codeshare partnership “will not only extend the range of options open to each airline’s customers, but will also encourage visitors to both Oman and the UK and promote tourism between the two countries”.
