The USAF, to my knowledge, Uses Omni Air, to fly large groups of personnel.

Don’t quote me on that though, last time I saw Omni Air was 2016.

While I’m not 100% sure about this, I’m pretty sure they have a variety of transport/airlift aircraft that can transport both cargo and personnel. Think of aircraft like the C-5, C-17, C-130, and more. There are, of course, VIP transports as well like smaller private jets and larger jets like the jets used to transport members of the executive branch (VC-25, c32…)

Atlas Omni and National are the main 3 in the US I believe (along with the USAF’s own planes).

They use their own C-5, C-17s, C-130s, but they have passenger air craft like the C-40, VC-32, VC-25, etc. They also charter other airlines like sun country, global x, atlas air, and Omni air international.
