Skytrax named Oman Air best business class seats
Oman Air Ranked 4 Star Airline following a recent Skytrax review. In addition, Skytrax has named Oman Air’s Business Class seat as one of the top three business class airline seats in the world.
Oman Air’s new Official 4 Star Airline® ranking signifies that the airline has achieved a good standard of product across all travel categories, with good standards of staff service delivery in both the onboard and airport environments.
The revised ranking follows a period of significant growth and development for the airline, which has seen the introduction of luxurious new Airbus A330 aircraft and the launch of new routes across Europe, the Middle East, East Africa and South and South East Asia.
Oman Air’s inclusion within the top three of Skytrax’s list of the best business class airline seats in the world is a clear demonstration of our emergence as a world-class airline of the very highest quality.
“Oman Air’s fleet of modern, spacious and comfortable aircraft continues to grow, our network includes 40 destinations and will expand further over the course of this year, and our onboard products are outstanding. We offer excellent inflight entertainment, have pioneered inflight mobile phone and broadband connectivity and our menus put many of our competitors in the shade. And on the ground, we have unveiled stunning First Class and Business Class lounges at Muscat International Airport, as well as launched online check-in. These developments, together with many more behind the scenes, have transformed Oman Air and could not have been achieved without the energy and dedication of staff at all levels of the organisation.”
Since the Skytrax Airline Quality Audit of Oman Air was carried out, the airline has made further enhancements to its products and services, including the introduction to its fleet of two Embraer 175 jets, which will operate on regional routes. A further three Embraers will follow, whilst the last of Oman Air’s seven Airbus A330s will be received this year.
Peter Hill concluded:
“The quality of Oman Air’s products and services is now internationally recognised and, over the course of the coming year, we look forward to announcing further new products and services which will add even greater pleasure to the Oman Air passenger experience.”

Copenhagen Airport reduce connection time
Shorter travel time, access to more than 40 additional daily flight connections on SAS, and better facilities for passengers. A new partnership between SAS and CPH is expected to attract more than 200,000 additional transfer passengers per year.
In the course of the year, SAS and CPH will reduce the minimum connection time to 30 minutes for all flights from the so-called Schengen countries.
By reducing the minimum connection time, Copenhagen Airport and SAS will be placed considerably higher on the lists of the attractive search engines and sales systems around the world which identify possible and fast travel itineraries.
With a new strategic partnership, Copenhagen Airports (CPH) and SAS are taking a major step towards making Copenhagen Airport one of the very best transfer airports in the world and the leading international traffic hub in northern Europe.
43 new attractive flight connections via Copenhagen
The initial focus will be on the six airports from which SAS carries the largest number of passengers via Copenhagen to other parts of the world. SAS and CPH have now reduced the minimum connection time from 40 to 30 minutes for passengers flying via Copenhagen to or from Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Helsinki (see example below). This means shorter travel time for passengers because they can connect faster to one of the 43 additional flights per day that will be available as a result of the shorter transfer time. It is expected that the initiative will initially result in up to 50,000 transfer passengers per year.
A better airport for everybody
In addition to becoming more attractive to passengers using Copenhagen Airport as a springboard, the partnership will also have a favourable impact for passengers starting or ending their journeys in Copenhagen. One of the initiatives will be an improvement of the check-in facilities and efficiency improvements in baggage handling. Finally, the partnership will be used to strengthen the collaboration on route development in Copenhagen.

Cimber Sterling flights Copenhagen Antalya Turkey
As the first airline in Denmark, Cimber Sterling has received permission to operate scheduled flights between Denmark and Antalya, Turkey. Copenhagen – Antalya will be a route served all year round with three weekly frequencies.
Until now, it has only been possible to travel from Denmark to Antalya by charter flight, as the Turkish authorities have been very restrictive in allowing scheduled flights to destinations other than Istanbul. The authorities have now changed policy, and Cimber Sterling is the first airline to benefit.
“We’ve spent the past seven months trying to obtain a traffic permit from the Turkish authorities, working closely with the Danish Civil Aviation Administration throughout the process. And last Thursday, we succeeded,” said Signe Thorup, Communications Manager at Cimber Sterling.
Strengthening the hub
The new full-year service will open with the summer timetable on 28 March, and Cimber Sterling will offer three weekly frequencies to Antalya.
“Many people in Denmark either own or rent holiday accommodation in Antalya, and the new service is very good news to them. As there are so few non-stop flights to Antalya, the new service will also help strengthen Copenhagen Airport’s position as a hub,” said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales, Copenhagen Airports.

Japan Airlines to fly to Boston Logan airport
Boston Logan International Airport will achieve a long-sought goal of nonstop service to Asia when Japan Airlines starts flying from Boston to Tokyo’s Narita International Airport in April 2012,with four flights a week and the frequency will increase to once daily on June 1, 2012.
JAL will become the only carrier offering nonstop service from Boston to Asia, but American Airlines and JAL have a joint business agreement and both airlines will sell tickets on the flight, which is expected to be the first in JAL’s trans-Pacific network to use the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Boston is the largest U.S. market without nonstop Asian service and more than 380,000 passengers flew from Boston to Asia in 2010 and generated more than $350 million in ticket sales; the single largest market is Boston to Tokyo. The service will facilitate travel to and from cities throughout the New England region as well as add greater convenience for business and leisure travelers connecting to and from key Asian cities through JAL’s extensive international network at Narita.
JAL has begun discussions with JetBlue Airways to strengthen its US network by utilizing JetBlue’s Boston Logan network to provide JAL customers with smooth connections along the East Coast and Caribbean.
Boston Logan, 15 minutes from the intersection of Route 128 and I-90 and five minutes from downtown Boston, serves as the gateway to the New England region and offers nonstop service to 70 domestic and 32 international destinations and in 2010 handled 27.4 million passengers. Boston Logan is the Air Line Pilot Association’s Airport of the Year for 2008 because of its commitment to safety. Over the past decade, the airport spent $4.5 billion on a modernization program that includes new terminals, parking facilities, roadways and airport concessions, and has been transformed into a world-class 21st Century facility. The airport generates $7 billion in total economic impact each year.
