In November, I wrote about Oman Air becoming a oneworld® alliance member in June 2025. This was one of several updates provided through the years. The carrier first announced that it was joining the oneworld® alliance back in June 2022. Oman Air, based in Muscat, was sponsored by Qatar Airways. Now, we now know that Oman Air will officially join on June 30th.
Oman Air is set to become the 16th member of oneworld®. The alliance officially began on February 1, 1999 with American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas as its founders. It was formed to create a seamless passenger experience and to reward frequent flyers with additional benefits (including some of the most generous lounge access of any of the three alliances).
oneworld® currently includes the following airlines:
- Alaska Airlines
- American Airlines
- British Airways
- Cathay Pacific
- Fiji Airways
- Finnair
- Iberia
- Japan Airlines
- Malaysia Airlines
- Qantas
- Qatar Airways
- Royal Air Maroc
- Royal Jordanian
- SriLankan Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines is expected to become the 17th alliance member in 2026.
Anthony’s Take: This has been a long time coming and makes sense for both Oman Air and oneworld®. I’m a fan of airline alliances, but not sure I’ll ever fly this carrier as my travels do not take me to the Middle East.
