Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate, recently honoured the 65-strong core team of its Business Continuity personnel during an event in Muscat.

Oman Air’s CEO, Paul Gregorowitsch, said:  “Oman Air is focused on ensuring reliability of our service and so I am delighted that we have achieved such great steps in enhancing our Business Continuity arrangements.  Not only is this very valuable to Oman Air, but it provides a significant contribution to wider resilience in Oman, an important reflection of our responsibility as the national carrier "to become the best.”
 
"Oman Air has embarked upon this initiative to strengthen its ability to manage serious disruptions,” said Dr Khalid Abdul Wahab Al Balushi, senior manager Government Relations & Sustainability who is also a certified lead auditor in Business Continuity Planning.

The Business Continuity project has involved the training of a team of Business Continuity Co-coordinators and the formulation and testing of comprehensive plans, designed to deal with a range of scenarios.  The project has drawn upon the expertise of consultants from the UK Cabinet Office’s Emergency Planning College (EPC).

Dr Mark Clegg, the EPC’s head of Programs and one of their senior consultants, Charlotte Hems, have been working alongside Oman Air personnel since August. – TradeArabia News Service
