PSA Airlines is an Dayton-based regional airline flying under the American Eagle brand for American Airlines. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group.
In a statement, a spokesperson for American Airlines said: “Out of an abundance of caution, PSA Airlines has temporarily removed most of its aircraft from service in order to complete a necessary, standard inspection on the nose gear door. We are working with PSA and the FAA to immediately address the issue. We are working with our customers to arrange new accommodations on other flights and we are working to return the impacted aircraft to service.”
In its own tweet Thursday, American Airlines said: “We’re working to accommodate our mutual @PSAAirlinesInc customers as quickly as possible.”

Along with other airlines, PSA has been weathering the worst time for the American aviation industry in decades. In a July WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act) notice to the state of Ohio, PSA said it intended to lay off nearly 230 workers in October.
Then in August, PSA said it would be outsourcing its professional maintenance and engineering technical services to a third party vendor “to increase our aircraft reliability.”
Airlinesgeek.com reported that up to 122 flights operated by PSA Airlines were canceled.
