The contest was organised by the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP).

The report also won bronze for the Most Improved Annual Report from the Asia-Pacific region.

The 2009 annual report, themed Clear Skies, scored top marks for first impression, report narrative, message clarity and information accessibility.

"The 2009 Vision Awards Annual Report Competition that drew one of the largest number of submissions, recognises the outstanding annual reports of the past 12 months. Oman Air's annual report is an important reflection of our achievements, and the work we do for our customers," said chief executive officer Peter Hill.

"The level of creativity exhibited in our report is outstanding, which is supported by outstanding clarity in communicating this year's key messages. As a world-class airline, we could not be more thrilled with the international recognition and the top spot our 2009 annual report has received from the LACP.

"We thank the team of Smart Media whose hard work have paid rich dividends," he added.
