Oman Air is the national airline of Oman. Based in Muscat, it operates scheduled domestic and international passenger services, as well as regional air taxi and charter flights. Its main base is Muscat International Airport. Oman Air is a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization.
Oman Aviation was established in 1970 and started operations in 1993 as Oman Air following a merger of Gulf Air's Light Aircraft Division and Oman International Services. In March 2007, the Omani government recapitalised the airline, which saw the government increasing its stake in the airline from approximately 33% to 80%. It was also announced that Oman Air would be re-evaluating its strategic plans, with a possibility of entering the long-haul market. This culminated in the announcement by the government in May 2007 that it would be pulling out of Gulf Air, and would instead concentrate on developing Oman Air.
