Oman Air has cut around 1,000 jobs, approximately 25% of its workforce, in a restructuring exercise focusing on financial stability.
Financial losses led to the decision, with the airline reporting a net loss of about $187 million in the past year.
Of the 1,000 roles eliminated, around 500 were expatriates, nearly 400 were Omanis, and 310 employees accepted voluntary retirement.
Despite the job cuts, Oman Air has increased its Omanisation rate to 79.4% and is reallocating staff while continuing its focus on supporting Omani nationals in the workforce.
