Oman Air may launch economy-only flights on certain routes in its network, its CEO has told a Dubai-based publication.Speaking to Aviation Business, Peter Hill said the airline was considering the move to service routes with little demand for premium class travel.”We are looking at new seating arrangements,” Hill said. “One option is the introduction of all-economy services, because demand for business class in some of the subcontinent markets is low, so that should be reflected with seat utilisation.”I expect around four or five of those aircraft will have all-economy arrangements.”The move would follow a similar initiative launched by Abu Dhabi rival Etihad Airways last October. Etihad currently operates economy-only flights using two A320 aircraft on short-haul flights to regional destinations including Alexandria, Calicut, Colombo, Damascus and Doha.
