The intricate attention to detail is outstanding, truly representing Oman‘s rich and diverse culture while also creating an opulent space to relax between flights,” said the website, adding, “It’s a truly outstanding addition to the new terminal, and while up against stiff competition this year, it stood out as a refreshing approach to lounge design with a fanatic delivery on the carrier’s brand image.”

Likewise, the organiser said it conferred the Best New First Class 2018 award to Oman Air for its new 787 first-class suites for their beautiful style.

“A quieter, contemporary approach to the suites puts the passenger first, and has colours and materials that feel truly residential. With clean crisp lines, textured finishes and intricate detailing, the seats are not only beautifully executed, but with the technological upgrades, fully enclosed concept and excellent Oman Air service, this first class product is hard to beat this year.”
