Ozark Air Lines is a former commercial airline that operated in the United States from 1950 until 1986, when it was purchased by Trans World Airlines.
In 1998, the rights to the airline's name were purchased by William E. Stricker of Columbia, Missouri. Starting in February 2000, the reformed Ozark Air Lines provided service from Columbia Regional Airport to Dallas and Chicago. A year later the company ceased operations and sold its assets to the now-bankrupt Great Plains Airlines, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. [1]
