Oncorium Nationalibus Consociatio Caeli Onerariis (English: Oncorium National Air Transport Association), abbreviated as ONCCO (stylised in all lowercase), is a transportation company providing airport service and specializing in aircraft ground handling, in-flight catering, air facility disaster mitigation, cargo, and logistics. Despite the consortium having no presence in any air facilities when it was established due to the lack of air facilities, it had made Central City Heliport a temporary headquarters for operations to demonstrate a proof-of-concept that airport ground vehicles can complement the design and operations of an airport within MRT.

On October 8, 2020, Metromap_svg, executive director of the consortium, publicly announced that ONCCO would be taking public orders from airport operators and airlines interested in its services and vehicles, with three vehicles of any kind given for free to any first-time buyers.

History

ONCCO was initially established when it had secured the contract to provide ground handling and aviation services for Central City Heliport in early 2020, it operated under the "Central City Heliport Ground Services" branding and the partnership evolved into a consortium.

On October 8, 2020, ONCCO and Creeperville International Airport had engaged in a Memorandum of Understanding for the delivery of three vehicles and the establishment of Haneda Airport Ground Services to operate and manage airport ground handling along with the additional option for the delivery of extra vehicles. This marks the second air facility serviced by ONCCO after Central City Heliport.

On October 11, 2020, ONCCO and Carnoustie International Airport entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the delivery of three vehicles along with the additional option for the delivery of extra vehicles. It also includes the ability for ONCCO to operate the airport ground handling services directly. Previously, ONCCO had established subsidiaries to operate ground services in different air facilities, including Central City Heliport and Creeperville International Airport.

On November 21, 2020, ONCCO and Ukubhabha Airports Company entered into a strategic partnership for allowing ONCCO to provide ground handling and consulting services to all UAC-managed airports.

On December 23, 2022, ONCCO's services were removed from the Central City Heliport.

Divisions

Within ONCCO, there are initially three divisions.
