During the opening night of Skift Global Forum, the winners of the inaugural Skift Design Awards—the travel industry’s recognition of the spaces, services, and initiatives transforming the traveler experience—were announced. This year, Teague was thrilled to see our work with Collins Aerospace and Oman Air on their first class passenger experience recognized as "Best Aviation Experience" for 2019.

Teague's designers scrutinized every aspect of long-haul flight, with specific focus on the details of a temporary life in the sky.

Oman Air invested in an all-new First Class passenger experience to elevate the prestige of its brand as a flag carrier. Teague's designers scrutinized every aspect of long-haul flight, with specific focus on the details of a temporary life in the sky.

Taking inspiration from Oman’s rich heritage and modern hospitality, Teague enacted passengers’ patterns of movement, anticipated pain points, inevitable questions, and lived out every possible scenario with a careful eye on ergonomics and human factors. Bespoke monuments, lighting design, 24k gold leaf finishes, and subtle layering of patterns and luxe materials come together to create an impression that is entirely new and unmistakably Oman Air.
