HISTORY The airline was established in 1979 as Vee Neal Airlines (named after its owner vee Neal Frey) and began operating from Latrobe , Pennsylvania . On 1 May 1980 the operation was expanded to include scheduled air services between Latrobe and Pittsburgh with a Cessna 402 . The airline was renamed to Jetstream International Airlines (JIA) in December, 1983 to reflect the fact that it had just taken delivery of two Jetstream aircraft. A year later the airline moved from Latrobe to Erie, Pennsylvania . On 26 September 1985 the airline affiliated itself with Piedmont Airlines and on 1 August 1986 JIA became a wholly owned subsidiary. Following the USAir acquisition of Piedmont in November 1987 , JIA began operating as Allegheny Commuter from the USAir hub in Philadelphia . On 1 July 1988 JIA became a wholly owned subsidiary of USAir and began operating in the colors of US Air Express, later US Airways Express Flight International 12-18 April 2005. On November 1 , 1995 USAir renamed the recently acquired JIA to PSA in order to protect the trademark of Pacific Southwest Airlines , which was once a large carrier on the West Coast that USAir had acquired.
