Eppley Airfield (OMA) Airport Car Service

Black Car Service to and from Eppley Airfield (OMA) Airport

Flights touch down at Eppley Airfield roughly three miles northeast of downtown Omaha, close enough that the ride into the city should be short and predictable. What complicates it right now is the terminal itself, which has been operating as two separate halves since construction crews began a $950 million rebuild. That single detail changes how a pickup must be planned, and it explains why so many travelers now lock in a chauffeur before wheels down instead of gambling on the curb. Our Nebraska airport car service covers every scheduled arrival and departure at OMA, with dispatchers watching individual tail numbers rather than published timetables.

Chauffeured Ground Transportation Built Around Eppley Airfield

Omaha runs on tight windows. Executives fly in for a morning at a Fortune 500 headquarters and out again by dinner. Families arrive for appointments at the medical campus with luggage and small children in tow. Every June, the Men’s College World Series funnels thousands of visitors through the same terminal doors inside a single week. Union Limousine plans each OMA transfer around three variables that actually move the clock: the flight itself, the traffic pattern on Abbott Drive, and the passenger count. The vehicle is staged and waiting before the aircraft reaches the gate.

How We Time Airport Pickups at OMA

Timing an airport pickup is a dispatch problem, not a driving problem. Here is how each OMA reservation is handled from confirmation through pickup:

• Dispatch monitors the inbound tail number and adjusts for early landings, holding patterns over the Missouri River, and gate delays.
• Meet and greet service inside baggage claim, name board in hand, for travelers who would rather be found than go looking.
• Curbside collection on the arrivals level when speed matters, coordinated by phone the moment bags are in hand.
• Complimentary wait time on domestic arrivals, so a slow belt at the carousel never becomes a surcharge.
• A text from your chauffeur before landing with the vehicle description, plate number, and exact meeting point.

Coordinating Curbside During the Build OMA Terminal Work

Since January 2025 the terminal has functioned as two buildings joined by Terminal Drive walkways and the lower level of the south garage. Passengers flying south terminal carriers reach a different curb than those flying north terminal carriers, and that distinction matters when someone is standing outside in a February wind off the plains. We confirm your operating airline at the time of booking, assign the correct curb, and reposition the chauffeur if a last minute gate change moves your arrival to the opposite half of the building. A new full length glass canopy over Terminal Drive now shelters both curbs, which has made the wait considerably more civil.

Fleet Options for Every OMA Arrival and Departure

Group size drives vehicle choice, and airport work punishes guesswork. A trade show team with pallets of samples needs different capacity than a couple heading to a hotel in the Old Market. Our chauffeured car service runs seven vehicle classes so the assignment matches the manifest and the luggage rather than forcing passengers to split across two cars.

Sedans and SUVs for Solo Travelers and Small Groups

• Sedans seat up to 3 passengers. Best suited to solo business arrivals, hotel transfers into downtown Omaha, and evening pickups off the last Denver flight.
• SUVs seat up to 6 passengers. The added cargo room absorbs golf bags, ski gear, and convention materials bound for CHI Health Center Omaha.

Stretch Limousines and Sprinter Vans for Milestone Travel

• Stretch limousines seat up to 20 passengers. Wedding parties flying in for weekend celebrations, prom groups, and anniversary evenings across Douglas and Sarpy counties.
• Sprinter vans seat up to 14 passengers. Executive teams, collegiate squads, and multigenerational families that need seating and luggage capacity in the same vehicle.

Party Buses and Charter Coaches for Large Movements

• Party buses seat up to 30 passengers. Brewery routes through the Blackstone District, game day transport, and celebration weekends that start the minute everyone clears baggage claim.
• Mini charter buses seat up to 35 passengers. Conference shuttles, university groups tied to Creighton and the University of Nebraska Omaha, and corporate retreats heading toward Lincoln.
• Full size charter buses seat up to 56 passengers. Convention movements, church and civic groups, and several staggered flight arrivals consolidated into one departure from the terminal.

Union Limousine maintains each class on a rotating inspection schedule, and every chauffeur assigned to airport work knows the terminal roadways well enough to reroute without prompting when Abbott Drive backs up.

Eppley Airfield (OMA) Airport Information

A Brief History of Eppley Airfield and Why It Matters Regionally

Omaha built its municipal airfield on the Missouri River bottomlands in the 1920s, and the facility carried that plain name for three decades. It became Eppley Airfield in 1959 following a substantial gift from hotel executive Eugene C. Eppley. The Omaha Airport Authority was created the same year and still holds full jurisdiction over both Eppley Airfield and Millard Airport. The field now spans 2,650 acres at an elevation of 984 feet, with a primary runway measuring 9,502 feet and two secondary runways of 8,500 and 8,154 feet. For eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, this is the commercial gateway, and no other field within a two hour drive comes close in scheduled service.

Airlines and Nonstop Domestic Destinations

Seven passenger carriers currently serve OMA: Alaska Airlines, Allegiant, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. Together they run roughly seventy to seventy five daily departures reaching 37 nonstop domestic destinations. Denver, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Houston, and Orlando handle the heaviest passenger loads, with seasonal leisure routes to Florida and the desert Southwest layered on top during winter and spring. Cargo operations move well above 140 million pounds annually through the same field.

Terminal Layout and Passenger Traffic

Eppley Airfield handled 5,225,232 passengers in 2025 across roughly 107,900 aircraft movements, an annual record that has since been eclipsed on a monthly basis. June 2026 produced 530,157 passengers, the busiest single month in the field’s history. The Build OMA modernization program responds directly to that pressure. A centralized security checkpoint, a unified concourse, and a new Central Pavilion with concessions beyond screening are scheduled to arrive through 2027, with full completion in 2028 bringing the terminal to roughly 646,000 square feet, close to double its current footprint. Until then, north and south halves operate independently and passengers move between them outdoors.

Parking, Pickup, and Drop Off Guidance

• North and south parking garages sit directly opposite their respective terminal halves, with sheltered walkways at both.
• Surface and economy lots connect by shuttle and make sense for trips running beyond a week.
• The cell phone waiting lot lets a driver stage close by at no cost until the arriving passenger calls.
• Departure drop off happens on the upper roadway. Arrivals collection happens on the lower level near baggage claim.
• Terminal Drive carries a full length glass canopy with lighting and speakers, covering both curbs end to end.

Ground Transportation Options at OMA

Travelers landing at Eppley Airfield choose among rental car counters on the lower level, a taxi stand outside arrivals, hotel courtesy shuttles that circulate on a loop, Metro bus service into downtown, designated rideshare pickup zones, and prearranged chauffeured transportation. Each has a place. Rental cars suit multiday itineraries across the region. Hotel shuttles work when the destination is a partner property. Chauffeured service earns its keep when the schedule is fixed, the group is large, or the arrival lands after the rest of the ground transportation network has thinned out for the night.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

A few habits keep an OMA arrival uneventful. Confirm which half of the terminal your airline uses before leaving home, since walking between the two halves currently means stepping outside. Allow extra minutes for TSA security screening during summer peaks and College World Series week, when volume spikes sharply. Watch the forecast in winter, because storms cross the plains fast and morning departures suffer first. Baggage claim sits on the lower level of each half, steps from the arrivals curb, so the walk from carousel to vehicle stays short once you know which door to use.

Quick Reference for Late Night Arrivals

Most evenings, several flights land at OMA between nine and eleven, which is precisely when taxi supply thins and rideshare pricing climbs. A confirmed reservation removes that variable entirely.

Why a Reserved Chauffeur Beats a Taxi or Rideshare

The case is practical. A reserved vehicle carries a rate agreed at booking, so surge pricing during a bunched arrival bank never enters the equation. The chauffeur already knows which curb your carrier uses, which matters enormously while the terminal remains split. Dispatch watches the flight, so a diversion to Lincoln or a two hour delay out of Denver gets absorbed without a single phone call from you. Taxis at Eppley are available but unevenly supplied after the late bank. Rideshare drivers rotate through and rarely know the current construction routing. For a corporate traveler billing hours or a family arriving at midnight with a stroller and four bags, that predictability is the entire point. Union Limousine holds the assigned vehicle for confirmed reservations regardless of how busy the night gets.

Neighborhoods, Venues, and Regional Routes We Cover

From the terminal doors, most Omaha addresses sit inside a twenty minute drive. Downtown and the Old Market, Aksarben Village, Midtown Crossing, Dundee, Benson, and the Blackstone District all connect through the I-480 and Dodge Street corridors. Sarpy County destinations run south along US 75 toward Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, and Offutt Air Force Base. Council Bluffs and Carter Lake sit minutes east across the Missouri River. Venue work fills much of the calendar: Charles Schwab Field Omaha in June, CHI Health Center Omaha for concerts and conventions, Werner Park in Papillion, the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, Joslyn Art Museum, the Durham Museum, and Nebraska Crossing out in Gretna. Longer runs reach Lincoln, Fremont, Nebraska City, and Sioux City, and the State of Nebraska publishes current road and travel conditions that our dispatch checks before any intercity transfer. Our Nebraska car service operates across all of these corridors on the same reservation standard.
