Unveils
‘luxury’ business class seating
Oman Air is set to showcase its all-new business class
seat on its first Airbus A330-200 at ITB Berlin 2009,
a top official has revealed.
Oman Air will feature its “total luxury” business
class seating at ITB Berlin 2009 running from March
11 to 13.
“ITB Berlin is the single most important trade
event in our calendar, and provides a unique opportunity
to meet current and new business partners from every
corner of the globe,” said Peter Hill, Oman Air’s
chief executive officer, who will head the company’s
delegation to the event.
“This year we will be introducing the new face
of Oman Air to the world’s travel trade and media.
Our focus will be on our new in-flight product being
introduced with the arrival of our first Airbus A330-200
aircraft, scheduled to join our fleet in August 2009.
“The star attraction on our stand will be the unveiling
of our all-new business class seat, which has been custom-made
to our own exacting specifications and which we believe
will raise the bar once again in business class seating,”
he added.
With approximately 11,000 exhibitors, ITB 2008 attracted
nearly 180,000 visitors, of which 110,000 were from
the travel trade and the balance consumers.
With the amount of investment being made in numerous
tourism-related projects over the next few years in
Oman, ITB is said to be the ideal place for all stakeholders
in the local travel trade to showcase their products
to overseas buyers. Oman Air is looking forward to entering
into a number of new business relationships with selected
travel companies, to encourage more tourists to travel
to Oman. (TradeArabia News Service)
