Dubai 2011: Oman Air signs order for six 787 Dreamliners

Boeing will transfer existing orders for the six aircraft from ALAFCO to Oman Air.

Oman Air CEO Peter Hill said: “Our decision to order the 787-8 is part of Oman Air’s long-term growth strategy to expand and modernise our fleet with newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes.

“We see direct benefits because of the Dreamliner’s fuel efficiency and operating economics as well as the enhanced travel experience that Oman Air will be able to offer its customers aboard this airplane.”
