Abdulrazaq Al Raisi, senior manager sales, Oman Air, told the paper: “This increase in Oman Air’s general baggage allowance is an advancement to meet the growing demands of our passengers. At a time when other airlines are limiting their baggage allowance and introducing fees for seat selections we are committed to putting our customers first.

“By increasing our baggage allowances at a time we are introducing new routes, new aircraft with new cabin features, we are showing our determination to invest in the total passenger experience and ensure that Oman Air is the airline of choice for all.”

Oman Air’s announcement of its increase in general baggage allowances follows the launch of new routes to Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Colombo and Male, in the Maldives.
