“Mahfood has more than 20 years of aviation experience and a doctorate in business administration from the University of Liverpool. He has the right credentials to accelerate the growth of our business in Oman,” said Etihad Airways’ chief commercial officer, Peter Baumgartner.

“Oman is a key market for Etihad Airways’ network strategy, where we currently operate 20 services a week to its capital, Muscat. We are pleased to welcome Mahfood to our commercial organisation to lead the team into the next phase of development as the Omani market continues to grow."

Al Harthy takes up the new appointment on 7th May 2012, reporting to regional general manager Middle East, Maen Abdul Halim.
