Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Oman Air captain salary in 2026?

Oman Air captains earn about $191K a year on our estimate, which is our own estimate from public information. The figure the airline itself put in print is a past vacancy advert. A 2017 advert for B737 NG captains quoted approximately GBP 90,000 a year (about $123K) — the sum of basic pay, housing allowance and pilot allowance, and an "approx." figure, not an average. The advert page itself is marked closed, so this is not the current level. Source checked on 2026-09-29.

What is the Oman Air first officer salary?

Oman Air first officers earn about $92K a year on our estimate, which is our own estimate from public information. The figure the airline itself put in print is a past vacancy advert. A 2017 advert for B737 NG first officers quoted approximately GBP 65,000 a year (about $89K) — again basic pay, housing allowance and pilot allowance combined, and an "approx." figure, not an average. The advert page itself is marked closed, so this is not the current level. Source checked on 2026-09-29.

Is Oman Air pilot pay really tax-free?

Tax-free until 2027. Oman has had no personal income tax, but Royal Decree 56/2025 introduces a 5% personal income tax from January 2028 on taxable income above OMR 42,000 a year. From 2028 gross pay is no longer the same as take-home. Your own residency and tax position needs separate advice.

What are the requirements to become an Oman Air pilot?

We have not been able to verify a current requirement set. The 2017 advert asked captains for 5,000 hours in command of multi-crew aircraft plus 500 hours on type, age 25 to 54, and ICAO English Level 4 or above; first officers for 1,500 hours on multi-crew aircraft plus 300 hours on type, under 46, and ICAO English Level 4 or above. That advert is closed and those figures are not current requirements.

What is the Oman Air pilot salary per month?

We do not publish a monthly figure for Oman Air. An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.

What is the Oman Air pilot pay scale?

For captains we publish a past ad rather than an average — Captain, B737 NG (2017 advert, no longer open): annual reward (approx., three cash items combined) $123K. This is not an all-staff average. For first officers we publish a past ad rather than an average — First officer, B737 NG (2017 advert, no longer open): annual reward (approx., three cash items combined) $89K. This is not an all-staff average. This is a 2017 advert, and the page itself says applications have closed. It is not a current figure. Source checked 2026-10-30; yen figures are converted for comparison at the rate held as of 2026-08-22, not a live rate.
