One of Oceanic Aviation's first aircraft, a Junkers G 24, disembarking passengers in 1929

Despite Oceanic World's large fleet, world renown, and multiple awards, the story of Oceanic World Airways begins humbly with the story of one man simply seeking for a job who bravely helped carve out a new frontier in the skies merely using his resolve and his grit. Oceanic World Airways was founded as Oceanic Aviation in 1924 by the Vaguziase immigrant and entrepreneurial veteran Emile Montaverna, who sought for a field in which he could put his training in aviation in the military to use. While he did seek for jobs with the various small enterprises experimenting with the budding aerial passenger transport and mail delivery business, Montaverna found those positions available to be undesirable, for reasons ranging from low pay to questionable business practices. Dissatisfied with current employment opportunities, Montaverna established his own company. Services did not begin for two years afterwards, however, as Montaverna needed to acquire sufficient funds to buy an aircraft, which he acquired through tireless work on whichever odd jobs came his way. With his hard-earned small fortune and a small loan taken from a local bank, Montaverna bought Oceanic Aviation's first aircraft - a Junkers G 24, the cheapest suitable aircraft available at the time. Oceanic Aviation's first flight took place on September 25, 1926, a warm, calm day, using the Junkers G 24 aircraft Montaverna worked years for, flying ten passengers and five-hundred pounds of mail between the rural town of Campa Asule and the then-burgeoning city of Granadino on the coast. This would mark the beginning of steadily increasing presence in the aviation market from 1926 on, with the introduction of such aircraft as the Ford Trimotor, the DC-3, and the DC-4, as well as the retirement of the fleet of Junkers aircraft, reaching a pinnacle with the introduction of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, one of the most luxurious and furthest-reaching aircraft of its time. Meanwhile, Montaverna, using the fortunes he had earned from the airline he founded, began to expand into other businesses which had interested him, becoming one of the nation's greatest industrialists, businessmen, and financiers. Indeed, Montaverna was at one point one of the richest men in the world, thanks to the airline he had decided to found one calm, lazy day in 1924.

Emile Montaverna would serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Pilot of the airline until his death in 1952 due to pneumonia. Montaverna's death and the rapidly approaching arrival of the jet age marks the shift of Oceanic Aviation's focus away from mail to serve chiefly passengers, a shift reflected by a name change to Oceanic Airways. Oceanic retired its fleet of aircraft acquired during the 1930s and 1940s, replacing them with newer propeller-driven aircraft, primarily Lockheed Constellations and Superconstellations. Oceanic was relatively late to the jet age, only introducing jet aircraft, the Convair 880s, in 1960. These aircraft, along with Lockheed L-188s and Convair 990s, served as the backbone of Oceanic's fleet throughout the 1960s. Oceanic remained content with its routes between 1960 and 1970, with little expansion taking place during this era. However, a corporate shake-up, more retirements of older planes, and the introduction of new, modern wide-bodied aircraft, especially the Boeing 747 and Lockheed L-1011, pushed Oceanic forward, and even the purchase of some supersonic airliners, cementing this change with the renaming of the airline to its current name - Oceanic World Airways. The trend of expansion and modernization which began in the early 1970s would remain a driving force in corporate philosophy to this day.

Oceanic World Airways was one of the first airlines to purchase fly-by-wire aircraft in the 1980s, helping to push aerospace technology forwards. Oceanic World was also among the first to introduce personal passenger entertainment systems aboard its flights, inflight radio being introduced in 1987. Carrying on this spirit of innovation and progress, Oceanic World Airways now proudly maintains one of the most modern fleets anywhere in the world, the most modern trappings and comforts for its passengers, and an open-mindedness to new ideas. Continued expansion both within Orania and internationally continues to mark Oceanic World Airways, this trait being reflected in Oceanic World's slogan, adopted in 1995 - The World's Global Airline. With every new aircraft bought, and with every new route introduced, and with every new feature in the passenger cabins or in the cockpit, Oceanic World Airways proudly reflects the precedents which began to form nearly 90 years ago with a veteran's dream, effort, and iron resolve.
