1983– Omni Air Transport is founded in Tulsa, Okla., as a U.S. Part 135 Operator providing Learjet aircraft corporate and air ambulance services.
1993– Became a U.S. Part 121 carrier and purchased Boeing 727 freighter aircraft, operating under the name of Omni Air Express. Customers included many of the industry’s largest integrated shipping companies such as BAX Global, DHL, Emery Worldwide and UPS.
1997– Invested in DC10 equipment and entered the passenger charter market. Omni Air Express name changes to Omni Air International.
1999– Omni Air International was approved to participate in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program. OAI is also an active member of the National Air Carriers Association.
2003– Added two B757 passenger aircraft approved for extended range over-water operations. With this exciting addition, OAI was awarded 180-minute ETOPS approval from the Federal Aviation Administration – only the second time in the history of U.S. aviation that this type of immediate ETOPS authority has been granted. It is only with this authority that OAI is able to provide our customers extended overwater flight capability.
The future is bright for OAI, as demand for superior charter service continues to grow. We believe our continued commitment to carefully controlled economic growth, building competitive advantage through operational excellence and thoughtful cost management will allow us to maintain our unprecedented reputation within the aviation industry.
