(UNITED STATES) PSA Airlines is not canceling flights across ten U.S. airports, including Reagan National and Dallas. As of August 9, 2025, operations are running normally, according to airline, union, and tracking updates.
Claims of a mass cancellation wave are false. Live status boards and official statements show no broad suspensions at these hubs or anywhere else in the network this summer.

What we know now
- PSA Airlines flights are operating as scheduled, with no mass cancellations at Reagan National, Dallas, or other major airports.
- Live flight tracking on August 9, 2025 shows PSA flights active, not canceled.
- No official alerts from American Airlines, PSA’s parent, warn of service cuts or suspensions.
- Palm Springs and other airport boards show regular operations, not a disruption.
Labor talks to watch
Two bargaining groups remain at the table: Flight Attendants (represented by AFA-CWA) and Stores employees (represented by IAM District 142). Both continue talks under federal mediation.
- On September 17, 2024, PSA Flight Attendants voted 99.2% to authorize a strike after rejecting wage offers. The National Mediation Board is involved, and no strike is called.
- Union goals include double-digit base pay raises, improved sick leave, and better work rules.
- Recent Letters of Agreement permit voluntary leaves in August 2025; these do not indicate mass cancellations.
- IAM District 142 opened Stores talks in June 2025, with sessions set for July 23–24, August 20–21, and September 10–11, under an interim transition deal.
Airports most mentioned
Reports singled out Reagan National and Dallas, but current data does not support claims of widespread PSA cancellations at either airport in 2025.
- Travelers connecting through these hubs should expect normal schedules unless an individual flight posts a delay or cancellation for routine reasons.
- Always check your flight number on the day of travel, especially for early morning regional departures.
Why this matters to immigrants and visa holders
Steady air service helps people on visas, green cards, or pending cases keep appointments on track. Today’s steady PSA schedule reduces stress for families planning tight connections.
If a future delay causes a missed government visit:
1. Act fast — save proof from the airline (boarding pass, delay/cancellation notices).
2. Contact the agency handling your appointment.
3. Follow the agency’s instructions on how to request a new date.
For status questions after a diversion or long delay, check your lawful stay dates on the official CBP I‑94 website: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home. Keep screenshots as backup during rebooking.
According to analysis by VisaVerge.com, travelers often build extra travel time around USCIS or consular appointments so a missed connection does not put their case at risk.
Fleet, staffing, and stability
- PSA Airlines is adding 14 Bombardier CRJ900 jets, with deliveries and service entry beginning in 2025. This growth can support deeper schedules on regional routes.
- The airline is moving its headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Charlotte, North Carolina.
- As of April 30, 2025, at least 200 management and support roles are open in Charlotte.
Management frames these steps as ways to strengthen operations. Union groups continue to seek better pay and rules while keeping talks moving without a strike.
Looking back: the last mass cancellations
- The most recent mass disruption tied to PSA Airlines happened in January 2021, when more than 200 flights were canceled for urgent maintenance on regional jets.
- There is no evidence of a similar event in 2024 or 2025. Current reports point to normal service with targeted, routine delays that every airline faces.
Practical steps for today’s travelers
- Check your flight status the night before and again three hours before departure.
- If you connect at Reagan National or Dallas, allow a longer layover for tight immigration or agency appointments later in the day.
- Save boarding passes, delay notices, and receipts — they help when explaining a missed interview or biometrics visit.
- If a rebooking pushes you overnight, confirm that your I‑94 record still shows the correct admit-until date after you arrive.
The road ahead
Labor remains the greatest risk to schedules, but federal law requires several steps before any strike. As of today, no release to strike has been issued for PSA Airlines.
Fleet growth and the Charlotte headquarters move point toward more stable day-to-day operations. For families planning travel tied to immigration milestones, that stability matters.
What officials and unions are saying
- Union leaders emphasize they want better contracts and are negotiating in good faith.
- PSA management highlights growth and relocation work as signs of steady progress.
- American Airlines Group has not issued warnings about broad PSA disruptions, which aligns with the lack of mass cancellations on public tracking tools.
Key takeaway: There is no current evidence of mass PSA cancellations. Plan travel based on posted schedules and official notices, not rumors.
