[edit] History

The airline was established in 1981 and started operations in 1993. It was formed as the result of a merger of the former Gulf Air Light Aircraft division and Oman International Services, as Oman Aviation Services. The Omani government holds an 82.4% majority stake in the airline, while the remaining 17.6% is in the hands of other investors.[1]

In March 2007, the Omani government recapitalised the airline, which saw the government increasing its stake in the airline from approximately 33% to 80%,[2] It was also announced that Oman Air would be re-evaluating its strategic plans, with a possibility of entering the long-hual market[2]. This culminated in the announcement by the government in May 2007 that it would be pulling out of Gulf Air, and would instead concentrate on developing Oman Air.[3]

In March 2008, Oman Air announced that in June 2008, it would begin services to six cities, namely, Bangalore, Frankfurt, Kozhikode, Kuala Lumpur, Damascus and Sana'a.[4]
