The premium seats, together with a spacious new Economy Class seat, were unveiled on 6th October in Muscat, Oman, on a demonstration flight of Oman Air’s first Airbus A330-300. They are entering service on key European and Asian routes.
Featuring a fully-flat bed within a pitch of 87 inches, a seat width of 25.5 inches, electrically-operated backrest, leg rest and seat depth controls, and an eight-point massage system, Oman Air’s First Class Mini Suite provides unparalleled levels of comfort and space. Each seat offers a 23-inch in-flight entertainment (IFE) monitor, a wireless IFE handset, a backup IFE handset, two USB ports, an Ethernet socket (RJ45), an audio and video assumption (RCA) plug and a PC power outlet.
The lie-flat Business Class seat has a pitch of 82 inches, is 22 inches wide and offers electrically-controlled backrest, leg rest and seat depth.
