Relocation of Jet Airways regional headquarters from Bahrain to Muscat is yet another example of Oman's sound economic health. The airlines brought its regional office recently to Muscat, apparently to give Oman more importance in the region. Abdulrahman al Busaidy, Group Executive Officer of Jet Airways, said, "Oman had always been very important for us. We fly three times in a day to Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram and Cochin from Muscat International Airport and we have plans to explore some more sectors in future." Oman's economy, according to him, "is far more resilient to the present global financial condition. The situation is favourable for most of the companies operating from Oman. We found this to be an opportunity and established our office in Muscat." Underlining the expansion plans of Jet Airways in the region Busaidy said, "We are planning to have direct flights from Muscat to two new sectors in India. The new sectors most likely would be Chennai and Delhi."
Commenting on present strength of Jet Airways Busaidy said, "Currently we operate a fleet of 86 aircraft, which include 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 50 classic and next generation Boeing 737-400/700/800/900 aircraft and 14 modern ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft. With an average fleet age of 4.53 years, the airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleet in the world." "Flights to 63 destinations span the length and breadth of India and beyond, including New York (both JFK and Newark), Toronto, Brussels, London (Heathrow), Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Dhaka, Kuwait, Bahrain, Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai," he said. Meanwhile, at a recently concluded ceremony to honour travel partners in Oman, Riyaz Kuttery, Country Manager of Jet Airways in Oman outlined the airlines' future plans and assured better services to passengers.
