Oman Air Cargo wrapped up its highly successful participation in air cargo Europe 2023, held in Munich. A who’s who of global air cargo players, the four-day trade fair drew in more than 75,000 visitors from over 120 countries. For Oman Air, it marked another important milestone in its efforts to drive the growth of Oman’s logistics industry, an integral part of Oman’s 2040 Vision for economic development. During the event, the airline showcased its enhanced cargo solutions and expertise in handling specialised goods, particularly fresh, valuables, pharmaceuticals, and live animals, alongside its newest products, Under 100 and Express.
“It was a busy but inspiring event, and we were delighted to conduct many pivotal meetings with esteemed industry partners and valuable customers in our target markets. We also showcased our exceptional range of products, while elevating the profile of Oman Air’s network and broadening our visibility,” Jaffar Al Lawati, Vice President Commercial Cargo, said.
