Previous Accolades
The Cirium ranking becomes the latest in a string of awards for the carrier; having previously secured a prestigious Five-Star APEX award rating in November 2023.
This accolade, the 2024 Five-Star Major Airline rating by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), marked the fourth consecutive year of recognition for Oman Air.
APEX Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards
The APEX Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards, formerly known as APEX Official Airline Ratings™, are a testament to Oman Air’s commitment to providing a world-class travel experience.
These awards are not arbitrary; they are based on neutral, third-party passenger feedback and insights gathered through APEX’s partnership with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel-organizing app.
Passengers from around the world rated nearly one million flights across 600 airlines using a five-star scale, independently certified by a professional external auditing company.
Oman Air’s consistent recognition in these awards highlights its dedication to meeting and exceeding passenger expectations.
In 2022, the airline received the Passenger Choice Award® for Best Seat Comfort in the Middle East, demonstrating its commitment to passenger comfort.
Moreover, Oman Air has consistently secured the Five-Star Major Airline rankings for 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Air was also named the ‘Best Airline Staff in the Middle East’ at the Skytrax 2023 World Airline Awards. This recognition underscores the airline’s dedication to setting new benchmarks for guest experience year after year.
