Oman Air has received Approved Training Organization (ATO) certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Oman, becoming the sultanate's first ATO and earning approval to conduct Boeing 737 and 787 type-rating training. The move supports the carrier's "Omanization" policy; 88% of its pilots are reported to be Omani.

Briefing
Oman Air's ATO is the first in the sultanate and authorizes in-house Boeing 737 and 787 type-rating training, formalizing the carrier's pilot training pipeline and reducing reliance on external type-rating providers.
The certification reinforces the airline's "Omanization" staffing goal (88% local pilots) and fits a wider pattern of carriers securing new regulatory certificates, as seen in recent moves such as a Cayman Islands AOC move and an EASA TCO authorization for ACMI operations.
