In a major move that strengthens global connectivity, Oman Air has officially joined the oneworld alliance from the 1st July 2025 as its 15th member. This is great news for frequent flyers and especially valuable for those who choose to travel in business class to long-haul destinations.

As a member of oneworld, Oman Air now offers seamless access to a global network of over 900 destinations across more than 170 countries. For business class travellers, this means better connections, smoother transits, and even more destinations and routes to keep prices competitive.

Nat Pieper, CEO of oneworld, said, “We are proud to welcome Oman Air to the oneworld family. Oman Air brings valuable strategic reach and award-winning products and service to the alliance. This partnership opens up exciting new connections for our customers, particularly across the Gulf and South Asia, and reinforces oneworld’s position as the premium alliance for international travellers.”

Enhanced Benefits for Oman Air Business Class Passengers

One of the most significant advantages of this move is expanded lounge access. Oman Air Business Class passengers can now enjoy premium facilities across all oneworld member lounges — over 600 worldwide — including top-tier lounges from Qatar Airways, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific.

As a full oneworld member airline, frequent flyers on Oman Air Business Class flights will also benefit from better frequent flyer program reciprocity. Status earned on Oman Air can now be utilised across the oneworld alliance, and vice-versa, with oneworld Emerald and Ruby status bringing priority check-in, boarding, lounge access, and baggage handling throughout the Oman Air journey.

A Boost for Global Business Travel

Whether you’re flying from London to Muscat, or connecting through Kuala Lumpur, Delhi, or even Australia and New Zealand with their codeshare agreements, the integration into oneworld makes Oman Air Business Class flights more appealing than ever. Business travellers now enjoy a unified travel experience, enhanced convenience, and added flexibility.

Oman Air’s entry into oneworld is a strategic step forward, elevating the airline’s premium offering and reinforcing its position as a leading choice for international business class travel.
