Oman Air CEO Abdulaziz al-Raisi plans to hold talks with Airbus if Boeing does not provide a support and recovery plan for its grounded 737 MAX planes before June 17, a statement by the Omani company said yesterday, according to a Reuters report. “The grounding of the 737 MAXs has had a major financial impact on Oman Air,’’ the statement cited al-Raisi as saying. “The airline’s expansion plans for 2019 had been significantly curtailed’’ and Oman Air “also suffered revenue losses and market share declines,’’ he added. “Boeing promised a recovery and support plan for Oman Air that would be submitted to the airline before the upcoming Paris Airshow starting on 17th June 2019. If I don’t hear back from Boeing before I arrive at Le Bourget Airport, then I will have to go ahead with my planned business lunch with Airbus at the airshow,” the Oman Air statement cited al-Raisi as saying.
