OMAN AIR ADDS KUALA LUMPUR TO EXPANDING NETWORK

By Muin Abdul Majid

DUBAI, April 12 (Bernama) -- Oman Air, the national carrier of the
Sultanate of Oman, will begin flying to Kuala Lumpur on May 1, with four weekly
flights between Muscat and the Malaysian capital.

Kuala Lumpur will be the airline's 33rd destination and the second in the
Far East, the other being Bangkok.

"This new destination will be a welcome addition to the ever-expanding Oman
Air network. Kuala Lumpur has been a much-anticipated destination," said Oman
Air chief executive officer Peter Hill in a statement.

Hill said he was positive that Malaysia would be a real winner with
customers.

"This beautiful country, which seamlessly weaves in the true wonders of
Asia, is as diverse geographically as it is culturally.

"Known to provide the perfect getaway for those who want to have a
complete
change of scenery, one can have a holiday of their lifetime by exploring the
many splendours of Malaysia," he said of Oman Air's latest destination.

The airline boss said holidays in Malaysia would introduce Oman Air
customers to what he described as "a fantastic travel and holiday experience".

The new route will be operated by Oman Air's recently introduced Airbus A330
aircraft featuring First, Business and Economy class seating.

Also in May, the airline will begin operations to four other destinations,
namely Ras Al Khaimah and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, as well as
Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan.
