Air Italy and Oman Air have signed a codeshare agreement.
Under the agreement, Air Italy’s ‘IG’ code is being placed on Oman Air’s flights between Milan Malpensa and Muscat, while Oman Air is putting its ‘WY’ code on Air Italy flights between Milan Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino, Naples, Cagliari (Sardinia), Palermo and Catania (Sicily), and Lamezia Terme (Calabria).
Oman Air CEO Abdulaziz Al Raisi said: “This codeshare agreement will make it so much easier for travellers from throughout Italy to visit our beautiful country of Oman. We look forward to welcoming visitors from all major Italian cities to come to our country to experience our renowned Omani hospitality. At the same time, this opens up exciting new opportunities for Omanis who wish to enjoy seamless travel to Italy and enjoy its rich world of opportunities for vacations and business.”
Oman Air’s code will also be added to Air Italy’s Milan-New York and Milan-Miami flights, once the necessary government approvals have been received.
“This partnership with Air Italy is also a significant development for our airline. It marks Oman Air’s foray into North America with these codeshares offering Oman Air customers access on Air Italy flights to New York and Miami, via their Milan hub airport. This is an exciting milestone for our airline, and we look forward to expanding our global coverage in the months ahead,” added Abdulaziz Al Raisi.
