Nawras gives Oman Air Information via SMS

In another Nawras first, customers of this trend setting communications provider are enjoying the benefit of an exclusive SMS service that is conveniently providing travel information direct from the national carrier, Oman Air. With this unique service, only Nawras customers have access to flight schedules, fare enquiries and booking status
via a great value SMS. Even special meal requests can be made easily with this handy communication tool.

On a topical note, Nawras customers can use this service to easily find out all about the imminent launch of the new Oman Air non-stop, direct flights to Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Colombo and Male.

To obtain Oman Air information, an SMS sent to 90910 with the key word Help will give customers answers on flight schedule enquiries, seat availability, fares and booking status as well as enable the addition of local contact details.

Customers can check seat availability (SA) on a flight from Muscat to Salalah on 28 September 2009, by simply sending SA MCT SLL 2809 to the code 90910. To find out the cost of a flight to London on the same date with a return flight on 15 October, the fare enquiry (FE) message would be FE MCT LON 2809 1510.

“We are constantly looking for new ways to use the latest technology to bring convenience to our customers in a user-friendly way”, explained Mohamed bin Jaffer Al Najwani, Nawras value added services manager. “This SMS service offers great value and provides an easy way to get helpful information from our national carrier, Oman Air,” he added.
