HISTORY: FIRST ONA

ONA was founded in June 1950 as a charter
airline and carried both freight and passengers.
It was based in Idlewild Airport (now JFK) and
had five Douglas DC-6 aircraft in the fleet. Its
main function was to carry US military personnel
to and from Europe from the east coast of the USA.
ONA also had a dedicated Douglas DC-7F for freight
operations.

For a brief period from 1964 to 1965, ONA went into
Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize and flights
resumed in October 1965, this time operating Douglas
DC-8 aircraft. Operations expanded to have flights
to the Caribbean, Europe and even to India. In 1968
and the following years, ONA received a fleet of 11
Lockheed L-188 Electra used in freight operations.
In the meantime, the DC-8s were servicing the trans
Atlantic routes. The next aircraft to be put into
operations was the Douglas DC-9, which replaced the
Electras and then in 1973 two Douglas DC-10 were received.

In 1978 when airline deregulation went into effect,
the board of directors of ONA decided to liquidate
the airline which, due to the value of the company's
DC-10 aircraft, was a successful liquidation.
The board decided not to try to compete in the newly
deregulated environment and as a result ONA ceased
flying in October 1978.

SECOND ONA

The second airline to be named Overseas National
Airways was created when officials of Overseas
National Airways formed a FAR Part 129 leasing
company known as United Air Carriers on July 21, 1977.
When Overseas National Airways folded in 1978,
the company was renamed to Overseas National Airways
and was certified in 1980 under FAR 121 as a cargo and
passenger charter company.

In 1982 the company gained approval for scheduled
service, leading to the company purchasing the name
National Airlines from Pan American World Airways in
anticipation of scheduled New York to Paris service.
The scheduled service never materialized, although
flights on the route were flown as charters.

The company, faced financial problems and by December
1985 it ceased operations, filing for bankruptcy in
May 1986.

Jeddah is the gateway to the holy cities 
of Makkah and Madinah. Although Riyadh is 
the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 
Jeddah is known as its commercial capital. 
Since Jeddah is situated at the Red Sea coast, 
it is also known as Bride of Red Sea.
