Oman Air's average fleet age as of February 2007 is 8.375 years. It is all set to acquire Gulf Air's 767 fleet and Kuwait Airways' A310 and A300 fleet once the airlines receive their ordered fleets. The airline has also expressed strong desires to acquire 6 of Air India's A310 fleet once it receives its order of 68 Boeing aircraft. With these aircraft, according to reliable sources, Oman Air could expand its services to Paris, Frankfurt and London in Europe; and Manila and Bangkok in South-East Asia. In due course of time, the airline also hopes to acquire 4 Biman Bangladesh Airlines DC-10 fleet once it receives its order for 4 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. Oman Air has said that these DC-10s would play a crucial role in expanding its services to the U.S. Top sources have also revealed that it could then come face to face with top airlines of the region, like Emirates, Qatar Airways, Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines and Etihad.
