Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia Airlines has recently inked a codeshare and cooperation pact with Oman Air, expanding its network in the Middle East which it hopes will bolster revenue by more than 26 million ringgit ($8 million) annually.

Malaysian Airline chief executive Azmil Zahruddin said the pact will enable its passengers to fly nonstop from Kuala Lumpur to Muscat and book connecting flights to Amman and Kuwait City on Oman Air, as well as have more flight options to Dubai and Beirut.

Oman Air passengers in return, can book connecting flights on Malaysia Airlines to six new destinations.
