Oman Air Signs First oneworld Codeshare Since Joining, With Finnair

October 20, 2026 — Oman Air and Finnair have signed a codeshare agreement linking Oman, Finland, other European cities and Australia. It is Oman Air’s first new codeshare since it joined the oneworld alliance in June 2025.

What happened

The two oneworld airlines announced the deal on October 19. According to Airliner World, Oman Air customers will be able to reach Finnair flights to Helsinki from eight European airports, and the two airlines will connect passengers to Melbourne via Bangkok.

Passengers on either airline get oneworld frequent flyer recognition, including tier benefits where they apply. Oman Air’s head of partnerships and alliances, Rohan Patell, called the deal “an exciting next step” in getting value from alliance membership.

What it means for non-revs

• Codeshares do not change staff travel. If you fly these routes on a ZED or interline ticket, you travel under the operating airline’s rules, Oman Air or Finnair, not the marketing carrier’s.
• Nothing changes until sales start. No start date has been published. Once tickets go on sale, expect some extra connecting traffic through Heathrow, the other European gateways and Bangkok.
• A new way to Melbourne. Muscat–Bangkok–Melbourne gives oneworld travelers another routing to Australia to consider when other options are full.
