Why is Omega the Clear Government Choice?

Over the years, Omega has established a successful record of government travel service. It started in 1982, when Omega was awarded travel management contracts under a federal government test program. The objective was to determine how well the private industry could serve government travelers. Our contracts were a success, and within a short time Omega became one of the largest government contractors in the country. Omega's success opened the door for other travel agencies to bid on government service contracts--a previously closed market. Continuing our tradition of superior service today, our service enhancements and value-added options are just a few reasons why dozens of federal agencies have chosen Omega as their travel management company.
