The awards are testament not only to the outstanding quality of our onboard products, but also to the extremely high standard of hospitality offered by our highly trained flight attendants,” says Salim Al Kindy, acting chief executive officer of Oman Air. The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry. Now in their 21st year, the awards are hailed as ‘the Oscars of the travel industry’. They are acknowledged across the globe as the ultimate travel accolade that aims to celebrate those brands that push the boundaries of industry excellence.
