The contribution of Oman Air's women staff to its success was hailed by the company’s CEO, Paul Gregorowitsch, in celebration of Omani Women’s Day.

Oman Air’s commitment is in line with the directives of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos regarding the empowerment of women, and mirrors the role of women in the broader Omani society. The country is recognised as one of the big supporters of gender equality in the region.

Women currently comprise more than 30 per cent of Oman Air’s workforce. The airline pursues a proactive policy of recognising talented and qualified women, and providing the necessary support for them to excel within their chosen careers. Women are well-represented in a range of roles, including engineering, airport management, airport services, marketing, customer services, cabin crew, flight operations, sales and communications.

“Oman Air is recognised as one of the leading companies in the sultanate offering women a safe and supportive employment environment. Women comprise a vital and increasing proportion of our workforce. They are represented at virtually every level of the company. And they have made an important contribution to the ongoing success of Oman Air,” said Gregorowitsch.

“I would also like to thank the many women who have contributed so much to the airline’s success. They helped to ensure that Oman Air is the airline of first choice. They have also set an outstanding benchmark to those women who are now at the start of their careers,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
