Orbital Air is a Megacorporation based out of Nairobi, Kenya that specializes in cargo and passenger transport to lower earth orbit. They have a very favorable position in the world of Cyberpunk in the 21st century.

Advancements in their French-made Hermes space planes has allowed Orbital Air to demand a massive market share within their niche, and they monopolize almost all of the orbital lifting capacity, with the exception of a few governments.

Corporations rely on Orbital Air services to transport cargo worldwide. If it wasn’t for Orbital Air, the Euro Space Agencies Crystal Tower, a massive orbital hotel complex for the ultra-rich would go out of business. With all commercial space bound cargo dependent on Orbital Air, OA has asserted outer worldly dominance during this time.

Large chunks of their budget go towards keeping Orbital Air ahead of their competition like China when it comes to orbital tech. With the Euro-flight Corporation also expanding its services to LEO, there is even more reason to double down on tech.
