1990–2001

In 1990, the first Gulf War shifted the market — and Wayne Jr. answered it by consolidating the firm’s operations at its executive FBO facility, Easton Jet Service, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The move reorganized Omni into a leaner, more cost-competitive operation, and put the company aircraft directly outside the office door: staff could fly to meet clients and accept consigned aircraft on the spot.

With the dawn of the internet, Omni opened satellite offices and quickly developed into a web-centric operation — trading through the decade as the Omni Jet Trading Center. The proprietary database built in the mainframe years became a web-enabled advantage: clients gained immediate access to every competing aircraft comparable to theirs, for sharper market awareness and better decisions.

The firm’s focus narrowed to exactly what it remains today: knowing precisely what jet aircraft are selling for, and how best to maximize the client’s position. With millions at stake, better information produces superior results — and while Omni’s services rated among the industry’s highest, its commissions stayed among its lowest. Integrity, then as now, was one of the unwavering foundations of the business.
