Oman Air Inflight and Muscat Duty Free promotion

The presentations followed the launch, earlier this year, of a series of promotions by Oman Air Inflight Duty Free and Muscat Duty Free, aimed at both customers and staff.

From April, every passenger who spent more than OR50 on Oman Air Inflight Duty Free’s exciting range of products was offered the chance of winning a KIA car in the airline’s exciting raffle.  

In parallel, Oman Air’s Inflight Duty Free teams and staff from Muscat Duty Free also had the opportunity to win one of two Kia cars. One went to the member of staff who sold the most Duty Free items and the other was awarded to the salesperson with the second highest number of sales.

Andrew Walsh, Chief Officer- Airport Operations of Oman Air, said:

“I am delighted to have presented these superb cars to our valued customer, INTISAR AL KINDY, and to our hard-working members of staff, Nasseer Al Kindy and Ausara Saleem. Congratulations to each of the winners who, I am sure, will greatly enjoy driving away their new prizes. I would like to thank all those customers who entered the raffle for taking part. I would also like to thank all those members of the Oman Air Inflight Duty Free and Muscat Duty Free teams whose outstanding efforts have made this promotion a great success.
