Oman Air has announced the appointment of Majid Sulaiman al Qassabi as its new Country Manager – Oman.
Having begun his journey at Oman Air, the aviation veteran with a career spanning over 14 years has held leadership positions at several top companies in Oman and in the wider GCC region. On his return to the company, his new role will include managing the sales, operations and business development in Oman, the airline’s home-base.
Ahmed Ali al Mahrouqi, Regional Vice President – Oman & GCC, expressed delight at having “Majid return to our team, whose wealth of experience is certain to add significant value to the future direction of the airline. As Country Manager, he is anticipated to steer our new strategy to reinforce ourselves as Oman’s airline of first choice, while continuing to stay true to our brand ethos to provide our guests with an exceptional travel experience.”
Qassabi has built up an impressive track record, having worked in major airlines and travel technology companies across Oman and the GCC.
Most recently, he was part of the launch team for Oman’s first low-cost carrier, where he built an extensive network of B2B partnerships, both with travel agents and corporate clients.
He holds a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Coventry University, UK, and a bachelor’s degree in Tourism from Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman.
