JPA-designed Majan Lounge opens
Oman Air has opened The Majan Lounge - its new lounge at Muscat International Airport, located on the lower floor of the departure terminal. Designed by James Park Associates, better known as JPA Design Consultants, the lounge offers a luxurious and tranquil environment with a modern Arabian twist.
The lounge will be staffed by Oman Air’s own trained reception staff, who will provide hospitality and food service to its own regular flyers, as well as those from 17 other airlines as part of an agreement. The lounge can also be accessed by other travellers by paying a fee of 12 Omani Rials (US$31 or GB£20).
At the opening of the lounge, Wayne Pearce, CEO of Oman Air, said: “Our sustained aim is to continue delivering an unmatched passenger experience for all our customers and to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience even before they commence their flight. The Majan lounge, conceived by JPA, the same design firm which designed other Oman Air premium lounges, will offer an exceptional standard of hospitality and comfort, all within a uniquely modern design, but retaining the key elements of the Omani culture and heritage. The relaxing area and the array of services available for our customers will surely be appreciated by the travellers.”
The Majan Lounge is the third lounge facility opened and operated by Oman Air Catering division in the past 18 months. It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The lounge offers Wi-Fi connectivity, a business centre, rest rooms with “full recliner” seats, a media area with satellite TV, magazines and newspapers, a drinks bar, a hot and cold snack buffet counter (serviced by Oman Air lounge chefs) and modern bathrooms with showers and baby changing facilities.
