On Air Ltd. was founded in Israel in 1982 as an equipment rental and service center for the broadcast industry in the country. On Air today, operates 22 ENG and EFP camera units in PAL and NTSC maintained by a team of 11 full time professionals in different technical capacities. On Air continuously updates its equipment and is in daily contact with its clients, passing on information concerning industry changes in world and local markets. On Air periodically purchases new cameras and accessories, invests in peripheral equipment including special camera accessories, lighting and grip equipment, production vehicles and much more.
All crew members hold valid government press cards.
An advantage of using an On Air crew is that it arrives at the location or pick up area, with the equipment already in the production van, thus avoiding time lost checking equipment at On Air 's offices, a savingwhich is passed over to the producer. On Air has set up a technical service department called Protech. Protech department is the official maintenance lab for Anton Bauer, Lectrosonic and others in Israel. Protech handles and services all of On Air 's equipment and provides external services to other companies as well. On Air 's Protech is completely independent and does not depend, for its day to day activities, on any external company.
