"We will be offering flights aboard our award-winning Airbus A330 aircraft, to two of Asia's most important cities, namely Manila and Jakarta. These exciting cities each offer travellers a fascinating view of their countries' vibrant cultures and we are very confident that they will prove popular with visitors from Oman and further afield,” said Oman Air CEO Paul Gregorowitsch.
"In addition, both Manila and Jakarta are important commercial centres and we anticipate strong demand from business travellers, underlining Oman Air's commitment to supporting positive trade relations between Oman and other nations."
