AirlinePros International is proud to announce its appointment as the General Sales Agent (GSA) for Oman Air in Canada. This new partnership is set to enhance Oman Air’s presence across Canada, boosting its sales, marketing, and customer service efforts to better connect Canadian travelers with Oman Air’s extensive network.

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, is renowned for its high standards of hospitality and service, offering passengers seamless connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. With this collaboration, AirlinePros International aims to expand Oman Air’s market presence in Canada and introduce more Canadians to Oman Air’s award-winning travel experience. In 2023, the airline was named the most punctual airline in the Middle East and Africa by global aviation analytics leader, Cirium, scoring an outstanding 92.5% On-Time Performance (OTP), the highest among all carriers across all categories.

From a single flight that operated between Muscat and Salalah in 1993, the airline has seen its fleet increase to 34 aircraft, connecting more than 40 destinations worldwide. It is also on track to join the oneworld Alliance by mid-2025, which will see it serving even more passengers, as Oman prepares to receive more visitors.

“Oman Air has always strived to be the perfect size for the market, positioning itself as a premium boutique airline and providing a unique product that has earned us international acclaim,” said Kelpesh Patel, Oman Air’s Regional Manager for Europe and North America. “Partnering with AirlinePros is a landmark step towards our ongoing efforts to connect travelers in Canada with varied international flight options.”

Elvis Fernandes, Head of Global Sales at AirlinePros International, added “Canada is a strategic growth area for Oman Air, and the services of AirlinePros International will help them greatly expand their footprint in this key market. Our extensive network and deep understanding of the Canadian travel industry will prove to be invaluable as we work together to increase Oman Air’s visibility among Canadian travelers, enhancing their service offerings.”

Certified as a five-star airline by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), Oman Air recently became one of only 10 airlines in the world to be awarded the prestigious APEX WORLD CLASS™ by YATES+ award, and the first to gain the APEX WORLD CLASS™ by YATES+ status for its Business Class Lounge at Muscat International Airport. The Muscat-based airline was also awarded the Best Airline Staff in the Middle East at the SKYTRAX World Airline Awards 2024. With tourism being a vital and growing industry for Oman, the airline plays a key role in promoting the destination and enabling visitors to experience all that the beautiful country has to offer.
