Oman Air names key operations official

Muscat, May 21, 2012

Oman Air, the national airline of the Sultanate, has appointed Captain Ali Hassan Sulaiman as its acting chief officer Flight Operations.

This follows a decision by Captain Patrick Rotsaert, chief officer Flight Operations to retire from the company, a statement said.

Captain Ali, an Omani national, brings more than 30 years of professional experience in civil aviation into his new role.

He began his career as a student pilot at 1981. Captain Sulaiman is experienced in flying a range of aircraft, including the Tri0Star, Boeing 737 and 767, and Airbus A320, A330 and A340.

In 2008, he held the position of senior manager Training and Standards.

In 2009, he piloted Oman Air’s first Airbus A330 from the factory in Toulouse, France, to Muscat International Airport. His most recent role has been deputy chief officer Flight Operations.

"I am delighted to have been appointed to this position, Flight Operations being central to Oman Air’s dynamic growth,” Capt Ali said.

“I trust the entrenched expertise that I have gathered over the last three decades will prove very useful and I very much look forward to play my role in ensuring that Oman Air passengers enjoy an outstanding flying experience. Oman Air is a great success story and it is an honor to have been chosen to be taking part in helping the airline to sustain that success."

Wayne Pearce, chief executive officer said: “I am truly delighted with the appointment of Captain Ali. I am positive he will make an invaluable contribution to the achievements of Oman Air.” – TradeArabia News Service
