Oman Air Cargo has appointed Gokul Sudamani as its new regional head of sales for the Middle East and Gulf, a senior commercial role created to support the carrier's plans to broaden its regional offering and strengthen service for freight forwarders.

Sudamani brings over 18 years of experience in the air cargo industry, specialising in diverse, high-volume markets across the Middle East and Gulf.

"Oman Air Cargo is building strong momentum, and I am looking forward to working closely with customers and partners across the region as we continue to expand our network and capabilities," Sudamani said.

"The Middle East and Gulf remain vital markets for our business, and I am excited to work closely with partners across the region to deliver flexible, reliable solutions for customers."

Sudamani's appointment is part of Oman Air Cargo's continued expansion, following a series of network and capacity investments, having recently announced the launch of several new routes, including Singapore and Kigali, strengthening the airline’s presence across the region.

"The Middle East is a unique market, acting as a global transit hub while continuing to grow as a destination in its own right," said Michael Duggan, head of cargo, Oman Air.

"This new role reflects our commitment to the region as we continue to expand the network, functioning as a key hub both globally and regionally."
