Omaha Airport Authority

What Omaha Airport Authority does

Omaha Airport Authority (OAA) is a government entity under the City of Omaha, Nebraska, founded in 1959, that owns and operates Eppley Airfield (OMA) and Millard Airport (MLE), serving the Omaha metropolitan area and over 6 million annual passengers. OAA provides flight information, parking, ground transportation, dining, shopping, and accessibility services, and is the sole public airport operator in its catchment, granting it regulatory exclusivity over commercial aviation infrastructure in the region. The authority is currently executing the Build OMA Terminal Modernization Program, which temporarily splits the terminal into North and South facilities during construction to expand capacity and modernize the passenger experience.

OAA's core technology stack centers on the flyOMA mobile application (iOS and Android), the ParkOMA parking management system with mobile pay and Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), real-time security checkpoint wait time monitoring for Concourses A and B, interactive terminal wayfinding maps, and accessibility integrations including the Aira computer-vision service and Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program. The infrastructure footprint spans two airports, eight named parking facilities (Premier, South Garage, North Garage, South Garage Rooftop, North Garage Rooftop, South Canopy, South Economy, North Economy) with shuttle service, and ground transportation coordination with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (OMETRO), taxi, ride-share, and rental car operators.

The business model is a hybrid of regulated fees and transaction-based consumer revenue. B2B revenue streams include airline landing fees, gate and terminal leases, ground transportation permits, and concession rents; B2C revenue streams include parking (ParkOMA), commercial ground transportation trip fees, terminal retail and dining concessions, and advertising. Customers comprise seven major airlines (Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, United), charter operators, three ground service vendors (Prime Flight, Unifi, GAT), and the traveling public. Marketing and distribution are direct-to-consumer through the flyoma.com website, the flyOMA app, Build OMA microsite, and social channels (@OMAairport).
