Oman Air is introducing a new Business Studio, set to replace the airline’s First Class product. The new cabin will retain its spacious layout of 1-2-1 with 8 classic lie-flat Studios, Wi-Fi connectivity, but with more affordable fares and a redefined service approach that is tailored to the needs of modern travellers.

Featuring predominantly on Oman Air’s London Heathrow and Bangkok services, the new higher-tier Business experience offers all the features of premium flying along with Oman Air’s award-winning service and hospitality, giving guests the room to work, connect and rest like never before.

“Inspired by valuable guest feedback and to adapt and evolve in line with global market trends, we have strategically refined our premium offering to deliver greater value and appeal,” said Con Korfiatis, Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air.

“The traditional First Class experience has seen diminished demand, and after careful analysis and benchmarking against industry standards, we decided to retire the product. This decision allows us to focus on delivering an exceptional Business Class experience that better meets modern traveller expectations and is more closely aligned with the demographics targeted by the national tourism objectives, such as such as wellness, adventure, and MICE. Moreover, we’re offering it all at a more competitive price point,” Korfiatis added.

Oman Air’s new Business Studio offers one of the world’s most generous pitches at 82”, privacy walls for every seat, 23-inch personal screen, free Wi-Fi connectivity, and à la carte dining to stay nourished on-the-go.

The airline operates Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in its long-haul fleet. Late last month, Oman Air took delivery of its 10th Dreamliner, and is expecting a further two to join its fleet later this year.This new product will be now part of our Business Class booking portfolio with dedicated RBDs ad will be gradually rolled out on some of Oman Air’s Australian offline fares.
