Oman Air appoints new country manager for home base

Having entered the aviation business as a management trainee with Gulf Air in 1990, Al Lawati has since gained vast experience across a broad range of roles within the aviation. His most recent position, prior to joining Oman Air, was as Oman country manager for Etihad Airways.

Oman Air’s chief commercial officer, Abdulrazaq Alraisi, said: 

“We are extremely pleased that Jaffar is joining the Oman Air team and we look forward to working with him to bring even greater success to our operations in the Sultanate. With an expanded network and a growing fleet of aircraft, last year Oman Air operated more flights and carried more passengers than ever before - and we have ambitious plans for the future. Mr Al Lawati therefore joins us at an important point in Oman’s development and we are sure that he will rise to the challenge with commitment and resolve.”
