Muscat-based Oman Air is the national airline of the Sultanate of Oman and majority owned by the Omani Government. Using a fleet of Airbus, ATR and Boeing aircraft Oman Air operates a network of services within the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Asia and Europe. Oman Air had its beginnings as a regional carrier, and has evolved into one of the larger players in the booming Middle East region. All flights from its base in Muscat used to be operated by Gulf Air, but the Omani Government withdrew its ownership in that airline in 2007. Oman Air then re-evaluated its strategic direction and has since assumed a much more international outlook. The airline has moved into the long-haul market, investing in new aircraft, livery, staff uniforms, on-board service offerings and management. It is the first airline in the world to provide OnAir internet and mobile services.
