PSA Airlines opening maintenance base in Knoxville (TYS) in support of growing fleet
DAYTON, Ohio – PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group and leading regional airline, today announced it is opening a new maintenance base in Knoxville (TYS), Tenn. this summer. The TYS maintenance base will be PSA’s 10th maintenance base and is a strategic addition that will support PSA’s growing fleet and serve as a “B check” facility. “B checks” occur two to three times each year and are more in-depth than routine checks that are performed frequently.
“The Knoxville maintenance base will play a pivotal role in our network at PSA Airlines, increasing our operational reliability, supporting our growth and addressing maintenance needs,” said Richard Ugarte, Vice President of Technical Operations at PSA.
TYS will employ nearly 100 team members including aircraft maintenance technicians, leads, supply chain professionals for its Stores facility, and operations-focused Management and Support Staff.
PSA’s other maintenance bases are at Akron-Canton Airport (CAK), Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Dayton International Airport (DAY), Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), Norfolk International Airport (ORF), Pensacola International Airport (PNS) and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV).
