Oman Air has set a record by paying USD75mn for a pair of slots (take-off and landing) at Heathrow Airport. The deal could very well mean double daily flights to London, something which the airline had been planning for some time now. The national carrier is understood to have bought the pair (a highly prized early morning arrival) from Air France-KLM, reported The Sunday Times, UK. The price beats the USD60mn (approx £41mn) paid by American Airlines for a slot to Scandinavian carrier SAS in February 2015. With this slot acquisition, the airline might use it for doubling its capacity to Heathrow, one of the busiest airports in the world. (Muscat Daily)
