Arab American Heritage Month: Captain John George

Arab American Heritage Month honors the arts, culture, traditions, history, and contributions of Arab American people in the United States. In recognition, we are highlighting our team members of Arab heritage who embody The PSA Way.     

Today, we introduce Captain John George, who shared his journey to aviation and the cultural traditions he cherishes the most.     

What is your heritage and ethnicity and your journey to aviation and PSA? 

I’m Egyptian American, and I’m proud of my roots in Egypt and the rich culture that shapes who I am. My love for travel led me to aviation, and PSA felt like the right place to grow and connect with others. 

As an Arab American, how do you feel you positively impact PSA’s culture of diversity and inclusion?  

I bring a unique perspective from my Egyptian background, helping to foster understanding and inclusivity at PSA.  

What are some Egyptian cultural traditions or customs you hold dear?  

Family and hospitality are key values in Egyptian culture, and I carry those with me in all my interactions. I cherish the sense of community, resilience, and deep pride in our history.
