Peter Hill arrived at Oman Air in 2008 having served as head of Sri Lankan Airlines. Following Oman’s withdrawal from Gulf Air a few years ago, the race has been on to quickly establish the airline as an international player and boost the flow of people into the country.

Hill is currently overseeing a flurry of activity designed to help improve Oman’s links with key international tourism feeder markets. In recent weeks, Oman Air has added services to Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Aircraft interiors are being modernised, uniforms redesigned and new first and business products introduced.
