'''Oman Air''' ({{lang-ar|الطيران العماني}}) is the legacy [[airline]] ([[flag carrier]]) of the [[Oman|Sultanate of Oman]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.omanair.com/wy/about-us/corporate-information/oman-air-profile |title=Oman Air Profile |access-date=8 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121120084905/https://www.omanair.com/wy/about-us/corporate-information/oman-air-profile |archive-date=20 November 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Based at [[Muscat International Airport]] in [[Seeb, Oman|Seeb]], [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]], it operates domestic and international passenger services, as well as regional [[air taxi]] and charter flights.<ref>[https://www.omanair.com/en/contact-us/global-contacts Contact Us]. Oman Air. Retrieved on 14 August 2017.</ref>

==History==
===Beginnings===
The Sultanate of Oman was one of four shareholders for [[Gulf Air]] along with Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Bahrain and was the last to exit from the carrier.

Oman Air traces its roots back to 1970 when Oman International Services (OIS) was established. The company became a civil aircraft ground handling provider at Beit Al Falaj Airport.<ref name="History">{{cite web|title=History|publisher=Oman Air|url=http://www.omanair.com/about-us/corporate-information/history|access-date=10 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817205057/http://www.omanair.com/about-us/corporate-information/history|archive-date=17 August 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1973, OIS moved its operations to the new terminal at [[Muscat International Airport|Seeb International Airport]]. The company took over [[Gulf Air]]'s Light Aircraft Division in 1977, before establishing ''Aircraft Engineering Division'' in the same year. Rapidly expanding civil aviation industry of Oman led OIS to the building of several facilities – including hangars, workshops and in-flight catering – to cater for the increase in activity.<ref name="History" />

In 1981, Oman Aviation Services became a [[joint-stock company]]. OAS also purchased 13 aircraft from Gulf Air, allowing the company to replace its [[turboprop]]s [[Fokker 27]]-600 with the −500 series.<ref name=History/> The following year, Oman Aviation Services jointly commenced jet services, along with Gulf Air, to [[Salalah]]. From 1983 to 1993, the company purchased new equipment, including the [[Cessna Citation]],<ref name=History/> and new facilities to help it improve its services.

===Foundation===
[[File:Boeing_737-86N,_Oman_Air_(Travel_Service)_AN1202991.jpg|thumb|An Oman Air [[Boeing 737-800]] with the airline's initial colour scheme]]
[[File:ATR_ATR-42-500,_Oman_Air_(Cimber_Air)_AN0724121.jpg|thumb|A former Oman Air [[ATR 42-500]]]]
In 1993, Oman Air was founded. The airline's start was in March, when a [[Wet leased|wet-leased]] [[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737-300]] from [[Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services]] (AWAS) flew from [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]] to Salalah.<ref>{{Cite magazine|first=Max | last=Kingsley-Jones |title=Emerging power|magazine=Flight Global|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1999/1999%20-%200897.html|access-date=10 December 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817205009/https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1999/1999%20-%200897.html|archive-date=17 August 2017}}</ref> In July of the same year, the airline's first international flight was operated to [[Dubai]], also using a Boeing 737-300.<ref name=History/> Flights to other destinations quickly followed, with [[Trivandrum]] ([[Trivandrum International Airport|Thiruvananthapuram]]) services starting in November, [[Kuwait]] and [[Karachi]] in January 1994, and [[Colombo]] in October.<ref name=History/> In 1995, two [[Airbus A320 family|Airbus A320s]] were wet-leased from Region Air of [[Singapore]] to replace the 737s. From 1995 to 1997, services were commenced to [[Mumbai]], [[Dhaka]], [[Abu Dhabi]], [[Doha]] and [[Chennai]]. In October 1998, Oman Air was admitted in the international aviation industry trade group [[International Air Transport Association]] (IATA). By the end of the following year, [[Gwadar]], [[Peshawar]], [[Jeddah]] and [[Al Ain]] were included in the airline's ever-expanding route network, although the former two, along with a host of other destinations, were withdrawn in 2000.<ref name=History/>

===Recapitalization===
In March 2007, the [[Government of Oman|Omani government]] recapitalised the airline, which saw the government increasing its shareholding from approximately 33 to 80 percent.<ref name="AirbizMar07">{{cite news|last=Kaminski-Morrow |first=David |title=Oman Air goes long-haul. |publisher=[[Airline Business]] |date=19 March 2007 |url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-30296485_ITM |access-date=4 April 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210165946/http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-30296485_ITM |archive-date=10 February 2009 }}</ref> It was also announced that Oman Air would be re-evaluating its strategic plans, with a possibility of entering the long-haul market.<ref name="AirbizMar07"/> This culminated in May 2007 when the Sultanate of Oman withdrew from [[Gulf Air]] to focus on the development of Oman Air, making Gulf Air a solely Bahraini airline.<ref>{{cite news|title=Oman looks to its local carrier after Gulf Air move. |publisher=[[Flight International]] |date=15 May 2007 |url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-30800765_ITM |access-date=4 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210165951/http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-30800765_ITM |archive-date=10 February 2009 }}</ref> Oman Air commenced its [[Flight length|long-haul]] services on 26 November 2007 by launching flights to [[Bangkok]] and [[London]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Expansion 2007 |publisher=Oman Air |date=11 January 2008 |url=http://www.omanair.com/wy/aboutus/aboutus_media_center/about_media_presrelses/releases_155.htm |access-date=21 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125071449/http://www.omanair.com/wy/aboutus/aboutus_media_center/about_media_presrelses/releases_155.htm |archive-date=25 January 2010 }}</ref>

On 2 April 2007, Oman Air announced it had placed a firm order with Airbus for 5 [[Airbus A330]] aircraft for delivery in 2009.

In June 2019, the [[International Air Transport Association]] (IATA) granted the level 4 New Distribution Capability (NDC) certification to the national airline of the Sultanate of Oman.

===Livery===
The original livery features a white fuselage with red and green cheatlines, with the airline's English and Arabic names written in red and green, respectively. Oman's national symbol, the [[Khanjar]], is painted in red on the vertical stabilizer and then became the official logo.

In the late 1990's, the livery was revised, with the cheatlines removed but retained the corporate red-green palette airline names. A new red vertical stabilizer was introduced, with the khanjar repainted in white and a green stripe is painted on the rear fuselage. For aircraft with wingtips, the logo was added on them in a solid red background.

The current livery also features a white fuselage, but the vertical stabilizer changed to blue, and an incense smoke replacing the khanjar as the official logo. Oman Air's names in Arabic and English are now painted in gold and silver, respectively.
