Muscat: Oman Air crew have been told to disable inflight maps as some of them are wrong.

“We have pushed Panasonic to get the map software changed without delay. They are testing as we speak and we hope to have correction done by Sunday or Monday and loaded on to our aircraft,” the airline added. Inaccurate translations have created a buzz on social media networks by some of the passengers.
