Evergreen International Aviation and Omega Air join forces to develop Global Airtanker Service
McMinnville, OR –
Evergreen International Aviation, a global leader in providing total aviation capabilities and military airlift support, and Omega Air, the innovative aviation company that developed the first certified civil military refueling aircraft, introduce Global Airtanker Service (GAS).
By combining proven commercial military refueling experience and extensive widebody aircraft modifications expertise, GAS is unveiling the cost effective, state-of-the-art KDC-10 aircraft.
Global Airtanker Services’ KDC-10 aircraft offers both mission proven hose and drogue and centerline boom refueling capability. Offering high flow rates from all three refueling stations, which include dual wing pods and either a centerline hose or boom, or both, the KDC-10 possesses a much improved operational fuel offload and payload range over all today’s aerial refueling aircraft
The KDC-10 aircraft is supported by GAS’s turnkey commercial refueling services. These services included aircraft, flight crews, maintenance and logistical support. This full range of support services are available on an "as needed" basis without the expense of aircraft ownership.
GAS is a joint venture between Evergreen International Aviation, Inc and Omega Air.
Evergreen International Aviation, Inc. is five diverse aviation companies, headquartered in McMinnville, Oregon USA. Evergreen consists of an international cargo airline, an aircraft maintenance and repair facility approved for all major aircraft check, routine maintenance and repair work, a helicopter service company with a fleet of over 50 aircraft, a full service aircraft ground handling company and an aircraft sales and leasing company. With over 4500 employees worldwide, Evergreen has worked with customers from over 160 countries and has the expertise and experience to match its machines and personnel to aviation missions anywhere in the world.
Established in 1980, Omega Air, a group of diversified aviation related companies, has become the world’s leader in development of commercial airborne refueling of military aircraft. In 2000, Omega Air completed U.S. Navy ground and flight testing and received an FAA STC (ST00888LA) for installation of refueling equipment and associated structural modifications on the world’s first commercial air-to-air tanker. Omega has since offered its aircraft to armed forces worldwide as a lease option to fulfill in-flight refueling and has performed over 750 missions, flown over 3000 hours, refueled over 8000 military fighter aircraft and offloaded over 28 million pounds (4 million gallons) of fuel
