Fly with Wi- Fi in Oman Air

Oman Air is a national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman. It has become the first airline in the world to offer full Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity suite that is Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir. This new move will give a chance to the passengers of First, Business and Economy classes to make and receive mobile phone calls, receive SMS, use email and Internet. They can even keep up to date with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Bringing this field of digital age to its in-flight passenger is a strong step to bring up the flight’s position in competition with other flights. From mid-February the flight officials will be unrolling full connectivity across their all Airbus A330 fleet. This new service will enhance your experience and you will complement the stunning new interiors that they are offering in all three classes of travel. For many passengers, this opportunity to communicate via phone, SMS, email or internet is a vital part of their everyday life and staying in contact with friends, family or colleagues will make up huge benefits for Oman Air’s customers. We all are expecting Internet and mobile connectivity round the clock. Now whenever you are on an Oman Air A330, you can spend those boring traveling hours by browsing Internet or making some important phone calls.

This Wi-Fi and Phone connectivity service will be controlled by the crew to ensure minimum disturbance to passengers during some quietest periods of overnight flights. Oman Air’s A330 fleet has been fitted with Airbus ALNA V2 system by using Honeywell’s Swift Broadband (SBB) solution. This can support both mobile phone and Wi-Fi connectivity. This also ensures that whatever devices you are choosing to use, they will receive very swift and effective service. Oman Air’s new A330s have already got the award of most highly connected commercial wide body which is currently flying and it will continue to seek out more new opportunities to offer their customers all the latest technologies.

This Oman Air’s SBB connectivity will follow another new introduction to its A330 fleet that is a new in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. This system will offer you four channels of live TV, as well as audio, video on demand, iPod connection and USB ports for your different usage. This IFE system will be installed within new First, Business and Economy class cabins. These cabins will offer you some new levels of comfort, space and luxury. Oman Air’s First Class will give you an experience of exclusive private jet travel. Oman Air’s Business Class cabin can offer you 20 seats, with aisle access, a lie-flat bed and a 17-inch screen each. The Economy Class seats will offer you fully adjustable head and leg rests, with more leg and elbow space and even with seatback-mounted video monitors. This introduction of new in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity service is the latest step to transform Oman Air that has recently shown us introduction of new aircrafts, new interiors, new routes, new three-class service and new in-flight service and facilities between Muscat and London Heathrow. The Internet service through Wi-Fi will definitely bring Oman Air to a new height altogether.
