Oman Air Once Again Recognised as the Middle East’s Leader in Seat Comfort
Muscat, Oman, June 13, 2026: Oman Air has once again been recognised for delivering one of the region’s most comfortable travel experiences, winning the 2026 APEX Best™ Awards for Best Seat Comfort in the Middle East. The award was presented to Renata Rached, Vice President Guest Experience, Loyalty and Brand, during the Future Travel Experience EMEA, Ancillary & Retailing event 2026 in Dublin, Ireland on 10 June.
The latest accolade marks Oman Air’s third win in the category, having previously received the award in 2024 and 2022. In 2025, the airline was also recognised by APEX for Best Food & Beverage and Best Cabin Service in the Middle East.
“The best measure of any airline experience is how it is remembered by the people who travel with us. This recognition is therefore especially rewarding because it is based on genuine guest feedback,” said Renata Rached. “We know that comfort can transform a journey and we are committed to creating an experience where guests feel relaxed and rested from the moment they step on board. We thank our guests for their continued confidence in Oman Air and remain focused on raising the bar for travel in the years ahead.”
Based on independently verified passenger feedback, the APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) Best™ Awards recognize excellence in seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment and Wi-Fi. The latest recognition reflects Oman Air’s continued investment in products and services to deliver a premium guest experience that includes spacious cabin layouts, modern, plush upholstery, and innovative design elements, alongside a range of world-class amenities and dining options, enhanced by the airline’s award-winning service ethos.
