How the pay is built
Packages run roughly OMR 650–900/mo total for new crew (basic plus flying pay and allowances), rising toward OMR 1,100–1,500+ for senior crew and cabin managers, tax-free.
Because income is tax-free at this base, the headline figure is what lands in your account — a meaningful difference against airlines where 20-40% disappears before payday. Company accommodation removes rent from your monthly costs entirely, which is worth far more than it looks on paper.
Accommodation
Furnished shared accommodation in Muscat with transport is provided for international crew; some grades and national crew receive a housing allowance instead.
