News Summary
PSA Airlines is set to move its corporate headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Charlotte, North Carolina, with plans to open the new office in January 2026. About 400 employees will move, with current Dayton staff given the choice to relocate. The airline will maintain a presence in Dayton, including a maintenance hangar and crew base. Additionally, PSA plans to ramp up hiring in the new location to meet operational needs and enhance efficiency.
Big Changes Coming for PSA Airlines as They Move to Charlotte
Folks in Dayton, Ohio, are about to see a big shift as PSA Airlines, a subsidiary of the American Airlines Group, gears up to relocate its corporate headquarters to sunny Charlotte, North Carolina. The new digs are set to open their doors in January 2026, specifically at 2709 Water Ridge Parkway in the bright and bustling Water Ridge Office Park.
What This Means for Team Members
So, what does this mean for the dedicated professionals at PSA? Well, about 400 employees will be working out of the new Charlotte office. This move to the South is especially noteworthy since it brings the team closer to where most of PSA’s flights take off. Charlotte is the hub of activity, with more than 180 daily departures originating from there and over 750 daily across the airline’s regional network. Talk about a busy airport!
Inviting Dayton to Join the Move
In a bid to keep the team together, PSA is making a generous invitation to its current 350 Dayton-based employees. They have until the end of April 2025 to decide whether they’d like to make the trek down to Charlotte. The big bosses recognize the challenge of relocating, which is why they’ve set up a gradual move starting in the latter half of 2025 and wrapping up in 2026. This approach aims to make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone.
Future of PSA in Dayton
But don’t worry, Dayton isn’t completely losing PSA Airlines just yet! The airline plans to maintain a presence there, including a maintenance hangar and a crew base that currently supports more than 550 remaining employees. So, Dayton folks can breathe a little easier knowing that the company isn’t entirely severing ties.
Hiring Opportunities on the Horizon
As the company gears up to spread its wings in Charlotte, they’re also on the lookout for fresh talent! PSA has already started posting job openings for local positions in Charlotte. The exact number of positions will depend on how many current employees choose to make the move. The airline is known for hiring nearly 1,200 team members annually, and they plan to ramp up recruitment in both 2025 and 2026 to fill anticipated needs in their new location.
The Aircraft and Operations
If you’re curious about PSA’s operations, they operate an all-jet fleet, exclusively utilizing dual-class MHI regional jet aircraft. This means the focus will remain on providing a comfortable flying experience for passengers as they journey through the skies.
Looking Ahead
While the excitement of the move to Charlotte is palpable, PSA Airlines also expresses deep gratitude for the City of Dayton and its unwavering support over the years. As operations transition South, they’re underscoring the importance of the new Charlotte headquarters for streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.
As we look forward to the official opening in January 2026, employees and residents alike will have their eyes peeled for what this change will bring. Will you be one of those making the move? Only time will tell!
