Omni Air International (OAI) - Boeing 757-23A - N549AX (c/n 24528/250)
This Omni Air International 757 has served with a wide variety of operators since it was first delivered brand new to Air Belgium in October 1989 (as OO-ILI). Icelandair briefly leased the aircraft under the same registration in 1996, then Sunways Sweden operated the aircraft as "Lennart Johannson" (registered as SE-DSM) from March 1997 until November 1997, when the aircraft was acquired by Tombo Aviation (as G-BXOL).
Under Tombo's ownership it has been leased to a series of operators, including Britannia Airways (still as G-BXOL) in December 1999, then to Air Holland (as PH-AHP) in April 1999, followed by Transavia (still as PH-AHP) in April 2000, British World Airlines in May 2001 (as G-OBWS), MyTravel Airways (as G-CCMY) in May 2002, Kampuchea Airways (as XU-123) in October 2003, One-Two-Go and Orient Thai Airlines (still as XU-123) in December 2003, returning to Tombo as N549AX in August 2004, before starting service with Omni Air in September 2004.
UPDATE (July 2014) - Not long after this photo was taken, N549AX would be placed into storage at Victorville, California (VCV / KVCV), on November 15, 2010. On December 6, 2010, the aircraft was acquired by Federal Express (Fed Ex) (re-registered N939FD, and named "Camilla") for conversion to cargo configuration. The aircraft entered regular service for FedEx upon completion of the conversion (to Boeing 757-23A(SF) standard) in October 2011.
A newly converted Passenger to Freighter A310 has arrived at the FedEx ramp in Memphis. The conversion was accomplished in Dresden, Germany.

What would become the largest air cargo airline in history was begun by entrepreneur Fred Smith. While Smith’s realization of the explosion in air cargo services that would occur in the 1970s was by no means unique, his approach to it was. Smith decided that air cargo carriers of the time were too dependent on cooperation between themselves and airlines (which frequently did not happen), were too slow, and in any case completely dependent on ground carriers to carry goods from the airport to the end consumer. Smith wanted to found a company that would own everything from delivery trucks to services to its own airline, which would keep both operating costs and customer costs low, not to mention simplifying the entire process.
Smith founded his new company as Federal Express in 1971 and began flights in April 1973. Because of restrictions on all-cargo routes and a lack of capital, Smith started small, with a fleet of 25 Dassault Falcon 20s. The Falcon was originally intended as a business jet; Federal Express used them as high-speed couriers.
Federal Express struggled, flirting with bankruptcy on several occasions, until the airline industry was deregulated in the late 1970s. This applied to cargo airlines as well, and loosened the restrictions on them. Federal Express was then able to purchase larger Boeing 727s, which allowed the company to move both larger packages and more of them. Added to the company becoming the first to computerized parcel tracking and management, and Federal Express was poised for huge growth during the 1980s. By 1989, it was the largest air cargo airline in the United States, and when it acquired Flying Tigers in the same year, it could expand its influence to Asia as well; European destinations were already being served.
Federal Express—which in 1994 adopted the common FedEx abbreviation as its name—had largely achieved Smith’s dream by the early 1990s, owning a gigantic number of ground trucks, stores, customs companies, and other services in addition to its growing air fleet. It continued to expand and prosper, becoming the first air cargo company to have a presence on the internet. In 2000, the air system became known as FedEx Express to differentiate itself from other branches of the Federal Express company (such as FedEx Ground). It partnered with the US Postal Service in 2001, adding yet more mail and cargo to its system.
Increasing operating costs have caused some cutbacks beginning in 2009 and the retirement of older aircraft, but FedEx Express is, by far, still the largest air cargo carrier in the world. In addition to its worldwide network, FedEx contracts with smaller, independent airlines to carry small cargo packages in regional areas, known as FedEx Feeder. As such, it is the largest operator of several aircraft types, including the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, and its Feeder system relies on no less than 250 Cessna Caravan 208s.
