A new three-class service has been introduced by Oman Air on the Heathrow-Muscat route.
The first, business and economy class cabins feature on Airbus A330-300s on the daily service, together with new in-flight entertainment and menus.
The carrier claims its first class mini suite offers the longest lie-flat bed available on any commercial airliner and is set within an 87-inch pitch.
The suite offers a 25.5-inch wide seat with an eight point massage system built in, stowage for hand luggage, dedicated space to hang a coat and a 23-inch video monitor.
With just six seats within the first class cabin, together with a lounge area, the airline is aiming for service akin to flying in an exclusive private jet.
The business class cabin offers 20 lie-flat seats, each within a pitch of 82 inches, fitted in a four-abreast, one-two-one configuration.
Economy class offers 204 seats in a two-four-two configuration, each within a pitch of 34 inches.
Innovative slim line design of the seats maximises the available space and provides a degree of legroom more often associated with a 36-inch, premium economy pitch, the carrier claims.
Each seat has adjustable head and leg rests, together with a 10.4-inch seatback mounted in-flight entertainment screen.
Airline CEO Peter Hill said: “With the introduction of the new three-class service from London, increasing passenger numbers and more exciting new destinations to be announced next year, the transformation of Oman Air is now a reality and we look forward to being the airline of choice for customers travelling from the UK to Oman and beyond.”
