Oman Air

Oman Air goes live with Internet and Mobile OnAir

Marking a pioneering milestone in the history of aviation, Oman Air has become the first airline in the world to offer both mobile and Internet connectivity on board its flights.

Offering in-flight connectivity is part of our ongoing drive to continuously enhance the travel experience of our customers and to offer them innovative services keeping up with the latest technology.

With Oman Air’s Go Live OnAir service, guests in any cabin on our brand new Airbus A330 fleet can receive and make calls, check voice mail, send and receive text and multimedia messages and access emails and websites, thus staying in touch during their flight as they would normally do on the ground.

Mobile connectivity will be available at all times except take off and landing, allowing guests to make and receive calls and text messages. As soon as the 'No Mobile' sign is off, the OnAir name will appear on the mobile screen as the network connection is obtained.

When using mobile phones on board, the services will be of a roaming nature, as on a foreign network. Users must then dial the full international numbers. Onboard communications will be charged by the home mobile service provider at international roaming rates, as is the case when one uses their mobile phone abroad.

With the WiFi network access, logging onto the Internet is like going online from any public WiFi hotspot. The services that customers can avail in this context are Internet access, Webmail to retrieve and send emails from a web-based email account and Webchat to exchange instant messages.

The rates for Internet connectivity are fixed as follows:

Passenger price plan for Internet on laptops (WiFi) would be (pilot pricing) US$29.95 (11.6 Rials) for 26 MB per flight. Additional usage would be at $0.006 (2.32 Baisas) per KB, for Webmail (only body copy) would be at $9.95 (3.85 Rials) and for the attachments it would be $0.006 (2.32 Baisas) per KB (per flight). For Webchat, the rate would be $4.95 (1.91 Rials) for unlimited usage (per flight).

OnAir is presently available onboard our new Airbus A330-300 flying on the Muscat-London Heathrow route and will be soon rolled out across our entire Airbus A330 fleet flying to the long-haul destinations of Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Bangkok, Maldives and Colombo.

In launching in-flight mobile connectivity and Internet service, Oman Air has also become the first commercial widebody operator to enter service with Airbus' ALNA v2 platform over Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband (SBB) aeronautical service, which can support data rates of up to 432 kbps per channel.

Oman Air to offer WiFi & mobile phone connectivity onboard A330 fleet

Oman Air will be the first airline in the world to offer a full connectivity suite — Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir — on our commercial widebody aircraft when we start to unroll full WiFi and mobile phone connectivity across our new Airbus A330 fleet next month.

The move will allow our customers in First, Business and Economy Classes to make and receive mobile phone calls, send and receive SMS, access email and internet, and also keep up to date with social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Launching the new service, Oman Air’s Chief Executive Officer Peter Hill says: “We are delighted to be leading the field by bringing the digital age to in-flight passenger communications. From mid-February, we will be unrolling full connectivity across our Airbus A330 fleet. This service will enrich the passenger experience and complement the stunning new cabins we are offering in all three classes of travel.”

“For many travellers, the ability to communicate via phone, SMS, email or internet is a vital part of everyday life and staying in contact with friends, family or colleagues will constitute huge benefits for our customers. People are increasingly expecting internet and mobile connectivity ‘anywhere, anytime’,” he added.

Availability of the service will be controlled by the crew to ensure a minimum of disturbance to passengers during, for example, the quietest periods of overnight flights.

Oman Air’s A330 fleet has been fitted with the Airbus ALNA V2 system, using Honeywell’s SwiftBroadband (SBB) solution. This supports both mobile phone and internet in-flight communication, ensuring that whatever devices passengers choose to use, they will receive a swift and effective service.

Oman Air First Class

Oman Air’s First Class Mini Suite offers the longest lie-flat bed available on any commercial airliner and is set within a massive 87-inch pitch. Furthermore, with a 25.5-inch wide seat, and built-in 8 point massage system, stowage for hand luggage, dedicated space to hang a coat and a huge 23-inch video monitor, Oman Air’s First Class Mini Suite is in a class of its own.

With just 6 seats within the First Class cabin, together with a luxurious lounge area, the travel experience is akin to flying in an exclusive private jet.

Oman Air Business Class

Our Business Class cabin offers 20 lie-flat seats, each within a pitch of 82 inches and fitted in a four-abreast, on-two-one configuration. A wide seat, ample stowage space, a privacy screen and a sizeable 17-inch monitor ensure that Oman Air’s Business Class seat outshines most other airlines’ First Class offering.

Oman Air Economy Class

Our new Economy Class cabin offers 204 seats in a two-four-two configuration, each within a pitch of 34 inches. However, the innovative slimline design of the seats maximizes the available space and provides a degree of legroom more often associated with a 36-inch, premium economy pitch. Each seat has adjustable head and leg rests, together with a 10.4-inch seatback mounted in-flight entertainment screen.

With the introduction of our new three-class service on the Muscat-London Heathrow route, we look forward to being the airline of choice for customers travelling from the UK to Oman and beyond.
