Concern for the environment both at home and abroad has always been of the utmost consequence to His Majesty the Sultan. In 1989, His Majesty initiated the Sultan Qaboos Award for preserving the environment. Oman is a beautiful country, blessed with unique habitats and landscapes therefore, Oman Air being the national carrier, is devoted towards contributing to its maximum potential to sustain the creation of an apposite environment and lush soil that will enable Oman to go onward to its promising future.”

This prize, by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos at the Earth Summit in Brazil in 1989, demonstrates his personal commitment to the environment not only in Oman, but also across the world.”
