OAI Holdings Agrees to Acquire Omni Air International, Names Jude Bricker CEO

OAI Holdings, an investor group including Omni Air International founder Rob Coretz and former Sun Country Airlines CEO Jude Bricker, has announced an agreement to acquire Omni Air International and its associated assets.

The transaction will return Coretz to the airline he founded more than 30 years ago, while Bricker will assume the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer upon closing.

Omni Air International is a US FAA Part 121-certified and IOSA-registered airline headquartered at Tulsa International Airport in Oklahoma. The carrier provides charter services, including transportation for US military personnel.

The company said the ownership transition will not affect Omni’s existing operations or staffing levels, and its headquarters will remain in Tulsa.

Current leadership will also support the transition, with David Ray agreeing to remain as an advisor following completion of the acquisition.

Tyler Coretz led the transaction on behalf of OAI Holdings, with BDT & MSD Partners serving as financial advisor.

The parties did not disclose the acquisition price, financing arrangements or expected closing date.
