PSA Airlines CASE STUDY
PSA Airlines CASE STUDY PSA Airlines PSA Airlines’ headquarters was originally estab- lished in Dayton in 1985 while it was under the ownership of Piedmont Airlines. Dayton remains headquarters to PSA Airlines, now a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways, that merged with American Airlines in 2013. The airline operates an all-jet fleet and is considered the fastest- growing regional carrier under the American Eagle brand with nearly 3,000 employees operating nearly 700 daily flights to nearly 90 destinations. Since 2014, PSA has doubled its size and, by 2016, operated 150 Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft. As a result of this growth, PSA has expanded its Dayton-based facilities, including a new maintenance hangar that opened in October of 2016. The new, 77,000 square foot hangar is adjacent to PSA’s existing 40,000 square foot operations control center and 6,500 professional learning center located at the Dayton International Airport and is the airline’s largest aircraft maintenance support facility. Dion Flannery, PSA President, stated that the new hanger is…“a testament to our growth, it’s an important infrastructure for us that’s going to last the rest of our days here.” How the City of Dayton (City) and its local partner, Montgomery County Economic Development Services (MCDS) helped PSA Airlines achieve speed-to-market, lower costs, and reduce risk: SPEED TO MARKET: In 2014, when PSA was planning to receive 30 new Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft, the airline needed maintenance facilities for the new aircraft. The City of Dayton presented a schedule that met PSA’s and its parent company’s schedule through a 20-year lease customized to PSA’s needs.

American Airlines Bankruptcy
The American Airlines Bankruptcy Bankruptcy and Reorganization Connor Lynagh Darryl Pinkus Andrew Ralph Michael Sutcliffe 12/12/2013 Introduction The AMR Corporation, parent company of American Airlines, filed for Chapter 11 on November 29th, 2011 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. While the actual day of the filing surprised the financial markets, the bankruptcy itself was an expected event given the turmoil the airline industry had endured. On December 9th, 2013, AMR Corp exited bankruptcy by merging with US Airways and became American Airlines Group Inc. The time in bankruptcy totaled two years and ten days which is above the average duration for a company in bankruptcy, and it was arguably the most dramatic bankruptcy in 2013. By the time AMR Corp filed a plan of reorganization in April 2013, the company, along with its creditors and labor unions, had agreed to a merger with US Airways. Despite AMR originally wanting to exit bankruptcy without a merger, the merger was estimated to create synergies of around $7 billion, a number that couldn’t be ignored by AMR’s management. Judge Sean Lane, the bankruptcy judge overseeing the AMR proceedings, approved the disclosure statement in June 2013, allowing AMR to solicit votes from its creditors. The vote in favor of the plan of reorganization was an overwhelming success, but in early August 2013, the Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against the merger. Judge Lane approved the plan of reorganization, but the implementation of the reorganization was dependent on the DC court’s ruling.

AMR, the holding company of American Airlines, American Eagle Airlines and AmericanConnection, which collectively serve 250 cities in 40 countries and average over 3,400 flights a day, filed for voluntary bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in a New York Federal Court.1 The roots of this legacy airline run deep. What is now American Airlines (“American”), principle subsidiary of AMR, started out as American Airways in the 1920s – the pioneer age of aviation. AMR is one of four remaining legacy carriers to have survived the Great Depression, 1978 Airline Deregulation, September 11 and the Great Recession that began in late 2007. Slowly fading from our consciousness are the legacy airlines of the past: TWA, Eastern, and Pan American. Only United, Delta, U.S. Airways and AMR still exist. The fact that AMR held out to the end was a point of pride, mostly for 2003-2011 Chairman and CEO Gerard Arpey, because Arpey saw bankruptcy as a sign of failure.
