Oman Air’s Business Class lounge at Muscat International
Airport has once again garnered international acclaim. The lounge has been
awarded a top-five positions in Hipmunk’s list of The Top 20 Airport Lounges in
the World. Furthermore, it is the highest-placed lounge in the Middle East
region.
Founded in 2010 and based in San Francisco, Hipmunk’s
website and mobile apps offer its customers a fast, easy way to plan travel.
The company also publishes a digital magazine, Tailwind, in which the Top 20
Airport Lounges listing was published. The list has since been published by a
number of international titles, including Travel Daily News and travelpulse.com.
Hipmunk worked with online information specialists
Priceonomics to analyse data from Skytrax, the independent airline and airport
quality experts. Thousands of travellers have posted comments on the Skytrax
website about airport lounges and have ranked them on a range of services, such
as comfort, Wi-Fi, drinks, food, and staff friendliness.
Oman Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Gregorowitsch,
welcomed the accolade, saying:
"We are delighted that Oman Air’s Business Class lounge at
Muscat has been recognized in this way. We first opened the lounge in January
2011 and it is clear that our premium guests have greatly appreciated its
elegant design, relaxing atmosphere and exceptional services and since we
reopened the lounge earlier this year, following extensive refurbishment, it
has attracted even greater acclaim."
"So whilst we are extremely pleased to have been awarded
fifth place in ‘The Top 20 Airport Lounges in the World’ – and to be listed as
the best airport lounge in the Middle East - it comes as no surprise that air
travellers rate us so highly. I would like to thank all those guests whose
views contributed to the final result."
"Demand for Oman Air’s Business Class passenger experience
is always high. However, we look forward to welcoming even more guests to our
Business Class lounge at Muscat as a result of this accolade."
