Oman Air unveils Embraer 175

The airline now owns two Embraer E jets, which will be deployed to the regional routes that Oman Air flies to. The deal was originally announced in November 2009 and includes firm orders for five more.

"The E-Jets are the ideal platform from which we can expand our regional route network and better align frequency with demand", said Salim Mohammed Al Kindi, chief technical officer.   "Having this flexibility allows us to introduce more point to point routes currently not sustainable with larger aircraft, as well as upgrading our services to domestic destinations like Khasab and the other new airports currently being developed within Oman.”
