Oman Air Cargo has appointed Lesley Cripps as European Sales Manager, marking a significant step in its growth strategy.

Bringing over 30 years of experience to the role, Cripps will develop a key account programme in the region and oversee the airline’s General Sales Agent (GSA) network.

“Oman Air Cargo is ripe for growth, and I look forward to playing a part in continuing the transformation that is already under way,” said Cripps.

“The relaunch of our winter service between Muscat and Zurich demonstrates the strong demand in Europe, and I am excited to bring Oman’s offerings to more locations across the region.”

Cripps will work closely with Oman Air Cargo’s Muscat-based sales team to strengthen the airline’s product-led services across Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

“Lesley’s appointment coincides with our broader aim to boost Oman’s global presence,” said Michael Duggan, Head of Cargo at Oman Air. “Having experienced regional sales managers based in-market helps us better understand our customers and respond more effectively to local needs. Lesley’s expertise will be invaluable in deepening those connections.”

Cripps’ appointment follows Oman Air Cargo’s reintroduction of its winter service to Zurich on Wednesday, 1 October.

In response to peak market demand, the winter service operates four weekly flights using the airline’s Boeing 787, offering capacity for general cargo, perishables, and pharmaceuticals.

Cripps is the first of three regional sales managers to be appointed and is currently attending the Aviation Connect conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 14 to 16 October.
