PSA Airlines leaving Dayton, impacting 350 jobs
The move is a blow to Dayton, which for years could claim to be home to the only airline based in Ohio.
"We are disappointed PSA chose to relocate their headquarters to Charlotte," said Jeff Hoagland, president and chief executive of the Dayton Development Coalition. "We have worked to keep PSA's local leadership engaged in the business community, and understand this selection was not a competitive process."
The new PSA headquarters will be located five miles from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, where many PSA employees are already work, the company said.
PSA's Charlotte headquarters is expected to open in January 2026 and will house about 400 PSA workers.
"We chose to relocate PSA's headquarters to Charlotte for several important reasons, including that Charlotte is where most of our daily departures occur and almost all our training is based," said Dion Flannery, president and CEO of PSA. "Charlotte is a vibrant community and home to the world's seventh-busiest airport."
He added: "While we're looking forward to getting integrated into the Charlotte community, I want to sincerely thank the city of Dayton, its leaders and the entire Dayton community for embracing and supporting PSA for so many years. We will continue to have a presence in Dayton with a maintenance hangar and crew base, including more than 550 Dayton-based team members."
PSA said 350 Dayton-based employees are being invited to move to Charlotte. They have until the end of April to decide, the airline said.
Annually, PSA said it hires nearly 1,200 employees.
Movement of PSA team members from Dayton to Charlotte will be "gradual," PSA said, with some moves happening as early as the second half of 2025, concluding in 2026.
PSA's MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) facility will remain local, continuing to employ hundreds of people and its flight service will not be disrupted, Hoagland also said.
"The Dayton region continues to grow its aerospace manufacturing ecosystem at the Dayton International Airport, and PSA will continue to be part of that," he added.
A message seeking comment was left with a spokesman for PSA.
Flannery recently left the coalition's board of directors, a coalition representative said.
Asked about the process behind the scenes of PSA's decision, Hoagland said Wednesday: "We didn't have the opportunity to tell PSA why they should keep their corporate headquarters in Dayton."
PSA Airlines is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group, operating 500 daily flights to nearly 100 destinations.

Columbia Sportswear sues Columbia University over merch in latest legal battle for Ivy
For decades, T-shirts, sweatshirts and other clothing under the Columbia Sportswear brand and clothing emblazoned with the Columbia University name coexisted more or less peacefully without confusion. But now, the Portland-based outdoor retailer has sued the New York-based university over alleged trademark infringement and a breach of contract, among other charges. It claims that the university's merchandise looks too similar to what's being sold at more than 800 retail locations including more than 150 of its branded stores as well as its website and third-party marketplaces. Columbia Sportswear has filed a lawsuit against Columbia University because the campus's merchandise looks identical to its brand. Columbia Sportswear In a lawsuit filed July 23 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Columbia Sportswear, whose roots date back to 1938, alleges that the university intentionally violated an agreement the parties signed on June 13, 2023. That agreement dictated how the university could use the word 'Columbia' on its own apparel. As part of the pact, the university could feature 'Columbia' on its merchandise provided that the name included a recognizable school insignia or its mascot, the word 'university,' the name of the academic department or the founding year of the university — 1754 — or a combination. But Columbia Sportswear alleges the university breached the agreement a little more than a year later, with the company noticing several garments without any of the school logos being sold at the Columbia University online store. Many of the garments feature a bright blue color that is 'confusingly similar' to the blue color that has long been associated with Columbia Sportswear, the suit alleged. The lawsuit details that the Ivy League institution violated an agreement the parties signed on June 13, 2023. Spiroview Inc. – The lawsuit offered photos of some of the Columbia University items that say only Columbia. 'The likelihood of deception, confusion, and mistake engendered by the university's misappropriation and misuse of the Columbia name is causing irreparable harm to the brand and goodwill symbolized by Columbia Sportswear's registered mark Columbia and the reputation for quality it embodies,' the lawsuit alleged. The lawsuit comes at a time when Columbia University has been threatened with the potential loss of billions of dollars in government support. Last week, Columbia University reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus. Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay a $200 million settlement over three years, the university said. Columbia Sportswear aims to stop all sales of clothing that violate the agreement, recall any products already sold and donate any remaining merchandise to charity. Columbia Sportswear is also seeking three times the amount of actual damages determined by a jury. Neither Columbia Sportswear or Columbia University couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

S.F.'s Philz Coffee to be purchased by private equity firm for $145 million
Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co. has made a bid to acquire popular San Francisco-grown coffee chain Philz coffee. The firm has previously invested in food franchises Popeyes and El Pollo Loco, as well as Petco. The value of the pending transaction is $145 million, according to reports to stakeholders obtained by Mission Local, which first reported the deal on Friday. Jacob Jabor, son of Philz founder Phil Jaber, did not respond to an inquiry from the Chronicle. Freeman Spogli could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. The deal is reportedly expected to close on Aug. 8, and stockholders have until Aug. 5 to receive an appraisal of their shares. Other stakeholders in the deal are investment firms Summit Partners and TPG Growth, according to Mission Local. Meanwhile, the company's common stock holders, including employees, are expected to see their stock canceled under the terms of the agreement, the outlet reported. Phil Jabar went from owning a corner store to a venture capital-backed business raising some $75 million in funding, after launching Philz out a storefront at 24th and Folsom streets storefront in the city's Mission District more than two decades ago. That location popularized the company's distinct one-cup-at-a-time pour-over style, which is executed by baristas working at separate stations.
