INTRODUCTION TO OMAN AIR | Executive Interview with Paul Gregorowitsch, CEO

In this episode of Aviation Leadership Profiles, I sat down and spoke to Oman Air's Chief Executive Officer Paul Gregorowitsch. Here are the questions I asked:

1. Why is Oman Air special? What sets you apart from your competitors? 

2. What is your growth strategy? As opposed to some of your surrounding Middle Eastern competitors, you have grown relatively slowly and have yet to purchase any large wide body aircraft - what sets you apart from them goal-wise and financially? Will we possibly see flights to the Americas and/or more destinations in Europe soon?

3. Your business class seats, both the old one and the new one, are industry leading. However, especially the new business class seat is quite the financial investment. How has this seat served you so far? Is the feedback as positive as one would think for such a great seat? What can you say about the service inconsistency between the leased 787s and your own as far as business class goes?

4. With the decline in oil prices, has Oman Air been negatively or positively affected?

5. Please explain your relationship with Emirates and other Arab carriers? To what extent do you collaborate vs. compete? Please also tell us about the Arab Air Carriers Organization and its drawbacks and benefits for Oman Air. What about Salam Air?

6. What is Oman Air doing to be sustainable? 

7. Tell us about your job. What do you get to do on a day to day basis? Would you say you have a passion for aviation?

8. What do you enjoy most about working for an airline like Oman Air, and what are your biggest challenges?
