19th May, 2016
Oman Air (WY, Muscat) has signed long-term lease agreements with Air Lease Corporation (ALC) for two B787-9s. The aircraft are sourced from the lessor's Boeing (BOE, Chicago O'Hare) order book and are scheduled to deliver in 2018 and 2020.
The aircraft add to the Omani carrier's August 2015 commitment to lease three new B737-800s, seven new B737 MAX 8s, one new B787-9, one used B737-700, and two used B737-800 aircraft.
Oman Air is an existing B787 operator with four B787-8s currently in service, two of which are leased from Kenya Airways (KQ, Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta).
