Oman Air Continues Fleet Modernisation with Latest Boeing 737 Max-8 Delivery
Oman Air has celebrated the arrival of its newest Boeing 737 MAX-8, the latest in a series of seven Boeing 787 and 737 deliveries received over the last 12 months. This milestone brings the airline’s total fleet to 33 aircraft, concluding a significant investment phase that has fueled its recent network growth and increased flight frequencies.
The 737 Max-8, which joins Oman Air’s narrowbody fleet, will operate medium- and short-haul destinations, enabling the airline to serve its growing network with greater capacity, efficiency and advanced technology for the years ahead.
Designed with a strong focus on passenger comfort and wellbeing, guests traveling on the B73 Max-8 will benefit from a notably quieter flight experience thanks to advanced noise-reduction engine technology alongside enhanced comfort features, while the aircraft’s high-efficiency engines reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions, supporting sustainable growth while maintaining a premium, modern cabin environment.
Looking ahead, six new widebody aircraft are scheduled to join Oman Air’s fleet from mid-2028, providing additional long-haul capacity and further strengthening its global connectivity.
