Oman Air officials may confirm during the Dubai Air Show whether it will still take the six Boeing 787s it is supposed to be leasing from Aviation Lease and Finance Co. (ALFACO). The Arabian Gulf carrier has been in negotiations with Boeing over demands for compensation that it wants for delays in the delivery schedule for the new widebody.

But during a press visit to its Muscat headquarters in mid-October, the airline’s management indicated that it would not be ready to confirm its intentions for the 787 for up to another month. At the time, Oman Air declined to be specific about its plans for the 787 as it awaits the appointment of a new CEO to replace Peter Hill, who retires at the end of the year after being with the airline since its was founded in 1993.
