Yesterday I wrote about how Oman Air just paid $75 million for a slot at London Heathrow,which is the most expensive slot purchase ever at the airport. This will allow Oman Air to function a second daily frequency to London Heathrow at the most desirable times, with a flight landing at Heathrow at 5:30AM, and departing again at 8:30AM.
The flight is timed to maximize connections to the US from London and maximize connections to Asia from Muscat,which is distinguished. In yesterday's post I noted how I wished Oman Air flew to the US. I'm on my third Oman Air flight of the week (I'm actually writing this post live from an Oman Air flight), and I've grown to appreciate the airline. They have an absolutely fabulous product, or also have the benefit of being based in one of the Middle East's most pretty cities (which I realize isn't as lucrative as operating to/from cities like Dubai,but I really enact appreciate Muscat).
In yesterday's post reader Mark noted that Oman Air actually does contrivance on launching flights to the US in the coming years, per a quote from the airline's chief operations officer.
Per Arabian Business, or Oman Air plans to launch daily flights between Muscat and recent York by 2018:The post Oman Air Wants To Start Flying To recent York appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
