Charlotte, N.C.– PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group and leading regional airline, announced it is relocating its corporate headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Charlotte. The new headquarters will be located at 2709 Water Ridge Parkway (28217), which is in the Water Ridge Office Park about two miles from American’s Charlotte Flight Training Center and five miles from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), where many PSA team members are currently based. PSA’s Charlotte headquarters is expected to open in January 2026 and will house about 400 PSA team members.
With over 750 daily departures, including over 180 out of CLT (serving about 21,000 customers per day into and out of CLT), PSA serves American’s American Eagle regional network, directly supporting four American hubs – CLT, Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Philadelphia (PHL), and Washington, D.C. (DCA) – with routes to over 100 markets spanning parts of Canada and the Caribbean, going as far west as Texas, and flying throughout the Midwest and Eastern United States.
PSA’s headquarters relocation to Charlotte – which involves moving many Dayton-based team members, as well as the future hiring of Charlotte-area residents – is a testament to the importance of CLT to PSA’s operation and American’s network. There are no state or local incentives being provided to PSA for this move.
“We chose to relocate PSA’s headquarters to Charlotte for several important reasons, including that Charlotte is where most of our daily departures occur and almost all our training is based,” said Dion Flannery, President and CEO of PSA. “Charlotte is a vibrant community and home to the world’s seventh-busiest airport. While we’re looking forward to getting integrated into the Charlotte community, I want to sincerely thank the City of Dayton, its leaders and the entire Dayton community for embracing and supporting PSA for so many years. We will continue to have a presence in Dayton with a maintenance hangar and crew base – including more than 550 Dayton-based team members.”
All 350 Dayton-based team members are being invited to continue their careers with PSA and relocate to Charlotte. They have until the end of April to decide.
PSA has already begun posting some Charlotte-based roles, and its local hiring needs will depend on how many team members opt to relocate to Charlotte. Those interested in joining PSA should visit www.psaairlines.com often to see and apply for open roles.
“At PSA, we pride ourselves on our culture, where The PSA Way – being driven, reliable and caring in all that we do – is always on full display,” added Flannery. “Those interested in joining a successful and growing company that operates independently, while also providing the stability and security that comes with being the second-largest wholly owned regional at American Airlines, are encouraged to reach out and apply to join the PSA team. I truly believe we provide a ‘best of both worlds’ opportunity at our airline.”
Annually, PSA hires nearly 1,200 team members, including crew members based throughout its footprint. PSA expects to increase its hiring in 2025 and 2026 based on anticipated needs in Charlotte. PSA will provide a firmer update on the total number of local hires needed once the relocation decision period closes this spring.
Movement of PSA team members from Dayton to Charlotte will be gradual, with select moves occurring as early as the second half of 2025 and concluding in 2026.
