MUSCAT : The company disclosed that it had previously accepted 86 candidates into a programme designed to train them for a commercial aviation license (EASA CPLI/IR) specifically tailored for Boeing 737 aircraft at the Oman Aviation Academy, over a period of 24 months.

However, “this agreement did not obligate the company to appoint them after their training, whether they successfully passed or not,” stated the company notice.

As of the latest update, Oman Air revealed that 34 trainees have successfully completed the comprehensive course, while 52 others continue their training at the Oman Aviation Academy.

“Due to the company’s keenness to support the Omani cadres, and to provide them with skills and experience in the field of aviation, employment contracts were recently signed for 21 out of the 34 Omani pilots (as trainees) who graduated from the academy, in order that they may later join Oman Air or another airline. The company welcomes the remaining 13 graduates to join the Oman Air team with their colleagues,” the notice explained.
