Boeing will be supporting the Dreamliners with its component services program, loadable software airplane parts service and airplane health management.

These services will help with tasks including software configuration and minimising maintenance delays and schedule disruptions.

Salim Al Kindy, Oman Air’s chief technical officer said: "Using Boeing’s services falls in line with our Shape and Size concept, as we continue to expand our global presence with a young, state of the art fleet of aircraft. This extremely high level of technical support, combined with an award winning service, ensures we continue to stay ahead of our customers' expectations."

Boeing offers 24-hour customer support, crew training, aftermarket parts, maintenance and information services as part of the aftersale agreements,

Airplane Health Management will allow Oman Air to minimise maintenance delays and schedule disruptions by continuously monitoring airplane performance while the airplane is in flight, notifying ground crews in advance of potential maintenance issues. 

"Boeing services are a simple way for airlines to reduce the total cost of airplane ownership, giving them a competitive advantage in their markets," said Marty Bentrott, senior vice president, sales for Russia, Middle East and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We look forward to helping ensure our key customer and partner Oman Air is successful as they begin operating this revolutionary airplane."
