The Royal Flight of Oman (RFO) is the VIP air transport capability embedded within the Sultan of Oman's Royal Household. The Royal Flight is not a military organisation, but rather part of the Diwan of Royal Court Affairs;[5] it is not part of the Royal Guard of Oman.[6]

The RFO was formed in 1974 and started with a few fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft were added in 1975.[7][8]

The RFO has its own staff housing and welfare complex (including a club and an international school) on Al Matar Street near Muscat International Airport.[9]
