Oman Air credits success to staff

Oman Air’s senior management has credited the airline’s continuing success to the dedication of its staff, and has reaffirmed its commitment to developing a supportive and competitive workplace environment across its 42-destination global network.
Increased salaries, improved policies and procedures and an accelerated Omanization program, together with the sustained professionalism of employees, have helped to expand Oman Air’s customer base and build a distinctive identity for the company, according to Sheikh Ahmed bin Himyar Al-Nabhani, chief officer support services of the airline.
“Oman Air has carved a unique niche in the international airline industry and has developed an enviable reputation for quality. As a result, many people choose to fly with Oman Air and to recommend the airline to others. I would like to express my thanks to all those employees whose commitment and creativity have made such an invaluable contribution to Oman Air’s growth and commercial success, he said.
“In recognition of this remarkable effort, we have been pleased to increase salaries, invest in training and introduce a range of policies and procedures that will support employees in their careers and ensure that Oman Air continues to have one of the best staff teams in the industry,” he added.
Between December 2010 and March 2013, salaries at Oman Air have increased by an average of 36 percent, with even the lowest-paid roles paying significantly more than the statutory minimum. Employer’s contributions to social insurance have also increased. Additionally, a range of robust procedures covering areas such as recruitment and grievances have been introduced and are working well.
Oman Air’s Chief Officer Support Services Sheikh Ahmed Nabhani said: “Oman Air has a highly efficient workforce of trained personnel at all levels, and it would not be flying so high without the dedication and devotion of all its staff.”
