history
PSA Airlines was founded in 1979 by Vee Neal Frey as Vee Neal Airlines , based in Latrobe , Pennsylvania . Scheduled flight operations began on May 1, 1980 with a Cessna 402 between Latrobe and Pittsburgh .
In December 1983, the company was renamed Jetstream International Airlines , or JLA for short , after two Handley Page Jetstreams had been flown in shortly before . In 1984 the company moved from Latrobe to Erie .
On September 26, 1985, Jetstream International Airlines merged with Piedmont Airlines , on August 1, 1986 it was fully taken over and became their subsidiary. Following the takeover of Piedmont Airlines by what was then USAir - later US Airways - in November 1987, JLA flew as Allegheny Commuter (Allegheny was the former name of USAir) from the USAir hub in Philadelphia . On July 1, 1988, JLA was fully taken over by USAir and has since been flying under the colors of USAir Express , later US Airways Express .
On November 1, 1995, JLA was renamed from US Airways to PSA Airlines to protect its trademark rights for the former Pacific Southwest Airlines . Pacific Southwest was a major airline on the west coast of the United States before it was acquired by USAir.
As a result of the merger of US Airways and American Airlines , PSA Airlines took ownership of this company in 2013. PSA Airlines is operating today for American Eagle .
