Omni Air

[PhilDernerJr]

Does anyone know how many planes Omni has in their fleet? I know they've got at least 8 airfcraft, made up of DC-10s and 757s.

Last week, I was in BWI and I saw 4 of their planes on the there, some of which were AOG I believe. Then I went to Shannon, Ireland, where I also saw 4 of their birds....some of which I also understand were AOG.

Can anyone fill me in?



Note: AOG means Aircraft on Ground, and is generally a term for a plane that is grounded for mechanical reasons.

they have 10 DC-10s and 4 757-200s

Come to ATL and you'd find the last two DC-10s, probably AOG as well.

Any time you see an Omni DC-10 parked somewhere, the #2 engine is usually opened up.....always working on those things.

I learned that all of those Omni aircraft were in Shannon because they are doing an extended subservice for Aer Lingus.

Wow, necropost!

Omni has grown over the years and I even have some friend over there now (4 years after I posted this).
