AS travelers grow more comfortable shopping on the Internet, the Web sites of airlines are ever more becoming their most important marketing opportunity, in some cases accounting for more than half of ticket sales. Airlines are discovering that by redesigning their Websites, they can cut costs, shore up the loyalty of business travelers, and even lure customers away from other travel sites. Airlines have come upon another way to cut costs and actually improve one area of service.
Mr. Habib Bin Bhacker Habib, Head of Information and Computing in Oman AirOman Air

In view of this, Oman AirOman Air has changed, and is gearing towards its "Expect More" Campaign. Corporate website is no exception. The new home page and overall design has been upgraded to offer better services, information and convenience online booking.
"Oman AirOman Air Website intends at making business travelers' online experience easier, also provides our customers with a valuable service. Many of the airlines' Web site initiatives are aimed at increasing, or regaining, business travelers' loyalty.

said that without a good Web site, Airlines have no chance of economically surviving. As international travel grows, airlines have also simplified the process of booking complicated schedules to just a few clicks - including travel with two airlines that are code-sharing partners. Oman AirOman Air which has recently launched its web ticket sales, sells nearly 10 percent of its tickets through its Web site. Our customers noted wanting two things: ease and speed. "Our customers told us they wanted it easier to be able to check in for a flight and book a flight online. Business travelers in general are people who are self-motivated, and they know what they want and where they want to go. The way is to improve the level of empowerment available to them online." In conclusion, they noted. Oman AirOman Air Website has been awarded for the second consecutive year Gold Award in Travel & Tourism category for Oman Web Awards on February 16, 2007.
