Oman Air plans city check-in service to drop off luggage before travel
Muscat: Imagine arriving at Muscat International Airport relaxed, knowing your luggage has already been checked in with Oman Air. No more last-minute bag counts or long airport queues. Oman's national carrier is planning to introduce its first-ever city check-in centre in Muscat, allowing passengers to drop off their bags and check in ahead of their flight. The new service would enable travellers to skip airport check-in lines and head straight to immigration, streamlining the pre-flight process. Speaking to Times of Oman, CEO of Oman Air, Con Korfiatis, said, 'We are actually looking to trial that, to see how it goes. We are not sure whether it will work here because it doesn't work everywhere. Some of the city offices tend to work where people travel long distances to the airport. And people may want to take trains and not be carrying five big luggages on trains. We don't really have a lot of that dynamic here. It's a small city. But having said that, we haven't decided finally, but we are looking to trial it and see how it goes. And if it works and there's big demand for it, then we can invest more in it.' He also said, 'We will give it a shot and see what it looks like.' When asked about the timeline of introduction of this service, he said, 'Hopefully before the end of the year.' Recently, Oman Air has introduced a convenient city check-in service for its guests traveling from Salalah, aimed at easing travel during the busy khareef season. Launched in partnership with Transom Handling, the 'Maraheb' service allows passengers to complete travel procedures ahead of time at Salalah Gardens Mall, avoiding airport queues and ensuring a smoother, more relaxed travel experience. This initiative reflects Oman Air's commitment to enhancing guest comfort and operational efficiency, particularly during the khareef season when travel demand to and from Salalah peaks.

The meeting was attended by a number of ministers and officials, members of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Board of Directors, investors, business owners, company representatives, and those interested in legal and economic affairs. Nasr Khamis Al Sawai, the Public Prosecutor, explained that the Public Prosecution seeks to expand its partnership with national institutions to spread legal awareness within the private sector and protect the business environment from any unlawful practices. This, he noted, strengthens justice and enhances economic stability. Faisal Abdullah Al Rowas, Chairman of Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Board of Directors, affirmed that the meeting is part of a strategic partnership with the Public Prosecution to enhance a legislative environment that stimulates investment in Oman and supports efforts to attract local and foreign capital. Naif Hamed Fadhil, Head of the Chamber's branch in Dhofar Governorate, pointed out that the meeting serves as a platform for institutional dialogue on ways to develop the investment environment in the governorate. He affirmed that Dhofar is rich with promising potential, making it an attractive destination for investors in various sectors. Assistant Public Prosecutor Khalfan Said Al Maawali presented a working paper that reviewed criminal liability under the Commercial Companies Law, the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law, and the compliance mechanisms that companies must adhere to. The meeting included a dialogue session with the Public Prosecutor and the Chairman of Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The session addressed key legislative challenges facing the private sector and discussed practical proposals for developing the legal environment and boosting Oman's investment appeal. This meeting is part of a series of initiatives aimed at embedding the principles of governance and transparency and strengthening institutional partnership. This aligns with the aspirations of Oman Vision 2040 to empower the private sector and support the national business environment.
