PARIS: Oman Air has placed an order for three long-haul Airbus airliners, the European aerospace giant said on Wednesday.
The order of the three A330-300 aircraft has a total catalogue value of $718.2 million (555 million euros).
The aircraft, each with a capacity of nearly 300 passengers, will be used by Oman Air on long-haul routes, Airbus said.
The timetable for delivery was not divulged. The order will bring Oman Air's A330 fleet to 10 planes.
The chief executive of Oman Air, Wayne Pearce, said in the statement the airline considered its fleet of A330s an essential factor for providing efficient and technically reliable operations and in terms of passenger comfort.
Airbus said that it had so far won 1,200 orders and delivered 900 of its A330 series aircraft in various configurations to more than 100 customers across the world. (AFP)
