Omega Aerial Refueling Services

Omega Air Refueling is a company which provides aerial refueling services for military units. According to the company's website, Omega developed the first commercial aerial refueling aircraft in 1999, and has provided aerial refueling services under contract to the United States Navy since 2001. The company has also been engaged to support Royal Australian Air Force training exercises due to delays to the delivery of the Air Force's KC-30A tankers. In addition, Omega Air Refueling states that it has been contracted to support deployments by the British Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

On 18 May 2011 one of the company's Boeing 707 tankers was destroyed after it crashed on takeoff from Naval Base Ventura County in California. All three crew members survived.

As of August 2012, Omega Air Refueling operated two Boeing 707s and one McDonnell Douglas DC-10.
