Thales opens Oman office

The new offices highlight the Group’s strategy and ambition to increase local operational capabilities, mainly to serve security, ground transportation and aerospace projects. 

The relationship between Oman and Thales dates back to the 70’s when the first communications equipment was delivered to the Sultanate.  Ever since then, Thales has been involved in a broad spectrum of activities and has partnered with a wide variety of customers including, the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC), Oman Air, the Omani Armed Forces and the Security Agencies of Oman. 

This relationship led to the establishment of Thales Oman LLC in 2010 in order to facilitate a more dynamic engagement with the Group’s key customers in the region. 

The new site is in the Al Tilal Complex, at the Muscat Grand Mall and has been operational since the beginning of 2014. 

The group maintains various other operations across the Sultanate, including one site near and one site at the Muscat Airport focusing on the delivery of its extensive commitments to the airport project as well as supporting In Flight Entertainment equipment onboard Oman Air planes. A further support hub is also operated at Wudam Naval Base for the maintenance of equipment on board Royal Navy of Oman ships as well as the Main Army Camp to support equipment in service with Royal Army of Oman.
