So do not fully agree with that wording. Is no "rule"
Oman Air routes (wikipedia is not alway up to date, but a simple clear listing)

When the HA brand (owned by AS Alaska) routes get added will be a small route expansion. Those in the south Pacific will be welcomed (PPT, PPG etc)

Great points- thank you! My previous two tickets were ticketed with the AA RTW desk and neither of those started with an AA carrier.
The Oman Air routes have been difficult to navigate. They seem to change quite a bit. The issue I am dealing with is getting in and out of Africa (from Oslo). If I recall, I can only transit DOH once. So, it's figuring out if it's best to use QR from Oslo or, leaving NBO. Looking at my last RTW, I did a very similar itinerary, just in reverse. Also impacted by Covid, so some adjustments/exceptions were made.
Thanks again! I appreciate any and all input!
