How travel agents book Oman Air
GDS distribution
Oman Air content is distributed through Travelport, with which it has worked since 1993. A multi-year renewal in August 2022 kept Oman Air content on Travelport+ worldwide, and Oman Air's EDIFACT (traditional GDS) distribution continues alongside NDC.
NDC
In February 2026 Oman Air added NDC content to its Travelport partnership, making Travelport the first modern travel retailer with an Oman Air NDC agreement. Travelport-connected agencies can access Oman Air's dynamic pricing, rich content and ancillaries through Travelport+.

History of Oman Air
Oman Air began operating in 1993, initially to serve important domestic routes within the Sultanate. Its distribution links with Travelport also date from 1993, and it joined the Arab Air Carriers Organization in 1997.
The airline later grew into an international carrier and helped make Muscat a destination in its own right, supporting tourism and wider commercial activity in Oman. Its fleet has moved to an all-Boeing line-up of 737 and 787 Dreamliner aircraft, with Business Studio private suites on some longer flights.
Oman Air is now a full member of oneworld, which gives its passengers connections across partner airlines such as Qatar Airways, British Airways and American Airlines. Recent awards include APEX's 2025 Best Cabin Service and Best Food and Beverage in the Middle East.
In 2026 Oman Air expanded its network, with Muscat–Singapore, Muscat–Sochi, Muscat–Tashkent, Salalah–Dubai and Muscat–Abu Dhabi services starting in July. In February 2026 it added NDC content to its long-standing Travelport partnership, alongside its existing EDIFACT distribution.

Oman Air: frequently asked questions
What are Oman Air's IATA and ICAO codes?
Oman Air uses the IATA airline code WY and the ICAO designator OMA, with the radio callsign OMAN AIR. IATA's code directory lists the company as Oman Air (S.A.O.C), registered in Oman. Its flights appear under the WY code in booking and ticketing systems.
Is Oman Air in oneworld?
Yes. Oman Air is a full member of the oneworld alliance, alongside Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, British Airways and others. Sindbad members earn miles and tier points on eligible oneworld flights and can redeem miles across more than 900 oneworld destinations, with tier status recognised by partner airlines.
Does Oman Air use NDC?
Yes. In February 2026 Oman Air added NDC content to its partnership with Travelport, so Travelport+ agencies can access its dynamic pricing, rich content and ancillary services. Travelport described itself as the first modern travel retailer to secure an NDC distribution agreement with Oman Air, and EDIFACT distribution continues in parallel.
How do travel agents book Oman Air?
Agencies can book Oman Air through Travelport+, using traditional EDIFACT content or the NDC content added in February 2026. Oman Air has worked with Travelport since 1993. Distribution arrangements with other GDSs were not verified for this profile, so agencies should confirm content availability with their own provider.
What is Oman Air's loyalty programme?
Oman Air's frequent flyer programme is called Sindbad. Members earn miles on Oman Air and eligible oneworld flights, and higher Sindbad tiers map to oneworld Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald status, so members are recognised by partner airlines across the alliance.
