During flight, where perception shifts, this delicacy is designed to hold its integrity, allowing each nuance to unfold effortlessly, just as intended.

Oman Air to join Oneworld Alliance on June 30: CEO
Muscat, June 2 Oman Air will officially join the Oneworld Alliance on June 30, after completing a nearly three-year process of integrating loyalty programmes, IT systems, and bookings with partner airlines. Speaking to the Observer, Con Korfiatis expressed his excitement about the upcoming alliance, stating, "We are pleased to be joining the Oneworld alliance on June 30, which is just four weeks away. This alliance will significantly expand our network reach through partnerships with other airlines, as we cannot fly to every destination ourselves." "We look forward to offering our customers a broader network through our alliance partners." Korfiatis also mentioned plans to increase flights to London in October, which will improve connectivity to North and South America through alliance partnerships," he added. The airline is expecting new aircraft to join their fleet, with a Dreamliner B787 arriving next week and additional 737 8 Max planes in the next 12 months. These new aircraft will allow for growth in the fleet and increased operations, with flights to Amsterdam scheduled to begin on July 1. He said, 'Apart from Amsterdam and double-daily Delhi flights, Moscow will be a year-round destination from seasonal. They're the only ones we've announced at this stage. We're always studying three to four routes at a time.' While there are no new destinations planned for the summer schedule, there will be increased capacity, including more flights to Salalah. Korfiatis also mentioned challenges in securing airport slots in India, but expressed interest in exploring opportunities beyond India. Regarding transformation within the airline, Korfiatis highlighted the goal of achieving fiscal responsibility to support future growth. The airline is ahead of target in meeting key performance indicators and aims to achieve EBIT breakeven by 2027. 'Our shareholder wants us to be fiscally responsible because they have confidence in backing us to be able to grow and do more things. We want to grow, but we didn't have the foundation for growth. It's a three to four-year journey. We do have KPIs (EBIT breakeven) which are meant to be achieved by 2027, and we are already ahead of target.'

AMOUAGE UNVEILS ITS FIRST BOUTIQUE IN GUANGZHOU
Amouage, the independent Omani High Perfumery House, has opened its first boutique in South China, located within Tianhe Parc Central in Guangzhou. This launch marks a defining moment in Amouage's strategic global expansion, extending the House's craftsmanship and artistry to one of China's most vibrant cities. Conceptualised by Amouage's Chief Creative Officer, Renaud Salmon, together with architectural collaborators Héroïne, the new space brings the House's story to life, offering a sensory experience that transcends boundaries. Where Legacy Meets New Beginnings Amouage's journey in China has always been grounded in cultural understanding and long-term perspective, a market the House has approached with care and conviction. While Amouage's presence has evolved in recent years, its story in China began over a decade ago, with creations such as Epic Woman, Memoir Man and Honour Woman resonating deeply with connoisseurs and securing top ranking presence on platforms like a leading fragrance review platform in China. This enduring connection has been further recognised through several prestigious accolades, including the Golden Osmanthus Award for Epic Woman for Best Female Perfume, Gold Award and the special attention mAPA Award for Guidance 46. An Architecture of Transience and Permanence Designed to embody the House's philosophy, the boutique invites visitors to engage with the timeless art of fragrance. Its façade opens to a serene interior, shaped by natural materials and the shifting play of light. Sculptural elements evoke the movement of desert dunes, with surfaces that catch the light, subtly mirroring the flow of sand. Travertine tables, in hues of desert sand, echo the rugged beauty of Oman's landscapes, while the silhouettes of the Amouage bottle, carved from sandstone, recall the majestic architecture of the country. This blend of texture and form invites reflection, where sand becomes a symbol of both impermanence and preservation, framing Amouage's perfumes as representations of depth, heritage, and beauty. At the heart of the boutique, the Gift of Kings shines through, its central placement further symbolising the House's opulence. The opening of the new boutique in Guangzhou continues Amouage's thoughtful expansion in China, following the success of 'The Sillage' flagship store located in the heart of Zhang Yuan, Shanghai. Together, the new spaces have been designed to encapsulate the essence of the House, inviting clients to step beyond the ordinary, where tradition and innovation come together to create something truly exceptional.
