Oman Air expects to be profitable in 2014

The CEO of Oman Air said it will take four years for the carrier to swing into a profit as new aircraft and routes become established and the global economy recovers from the downturn, the National has reported. 'We always knew we would be making a fairly hefty loss in 2009 - as indeed we expect to in the next couple of years, because we are investing hugely in the growth of the airline,' Peter Hill told the daily. 'We have expanded routes when most airlines are contracting.'
