Oman Air close to breakeven in 2025

2025/12/08 13:55

State-backed Oman Air is reportedly close to breaking even this year and may post its first profit next year.

“We are going to hit our transformation target for 2025, which means that we should end the year significantly closer to being a breakeven company,” the airline’s chief commercial officer Mike Rutter told the Oman Daily Observer.

He said the airline’s goal in 2026 is to achieve its first-ever profit, according to the newspaper.

In October the airline laid off 1,100 staff, reducing its workforce from around 4,300 to just under 3,200.

As part of cost-saving measures, the airline disposed of its entire A330 fleet of 10 aircraft and sold two Boeing 787-8s.

In August 2023, Oman Air announced restructuring plans to reduce ongoing losses and debt accumulation. It cancelled flights to some South Asian cities in January 2024 to improve its financial performance and strengthen its position in a competitive market.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
