About Piedmont Airlines

Piedmont Airlines (IATA: PT, ICAO: PDT) is a regional airline headquartered in Salisbury, Maryland, United States. Operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Airlines Group, Piedmont flies under the American Eagle brand, connecting passengers from smaller regional markets across the eastern United States to American Airlines' major hubs and focus cities.

The airline traces its origins to 1961, when aviation entrepreneur Richard A. Henson founded Henson Aviation as a fixed-base operator in Hagerstown, Maryland. The carrier began scheduled passenger service in 1962 under the name Hagerstown Commuter, later evolving into Henson Airlines. Today, the Piedmont name — resurrected in 1993 — is one of American Airlines' key regional operators, with primary crew bases in Charlotte, North Carolina and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Airline Overview and History

Piedmont Airlines has a rich history spanning more than six decades. Key milestones in its journey include:

• 1961 — Richard A. Henson founds Henson Aviation in Hagerstown, Maryland.
• 1962 — First scheduled passenger service begins under the Hagerstown Commuter name, serving Washington National Airport.
• 1967 — Henson Airlines establishes one of the world's first code-share arrangements with Allegheny Airlines (predecessor of US Airways).
• 1968 — Headquarters relocated to Salisbury, Maryland; airline becomes an Allegheny Commuter partner.
• 1983 — Piedmont Aviation acquires Henson Airlines, rebranding it "Henson, The Piedmont Regional Airline".
• 1987 — USAir Group purchases both Piedmont Aviation and Henson; aircraft are repainted in US Airways Express livery.
• 1993 — USAir renames the carrier Piedmont Airlines to protect the Piedmont brand trademark.
• 2013 — Following the merger of American Airlines and US Airways, Piedmont becomes part of the American Airlines Group and transitions to operating under the American Eagle brand.
• 2025 — Piedmont announces plans to introduce Embraer E175 jets beginning in 2028, marking a move to dual-class service with First Class and Economy cabins.

Piedmont currently operates from its main base at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and a secondary hub at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). The airline employs more than 9,800 aviation professionals and operates nearly 400 daily departures to over 55 cities.

Fleet and Aircraft

Piedmont Airlines currently operates an all-jet fleet composed exclusively of Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets. Key fleet details include:

• Embraer ERJ-145 — 50-seat twin-engine regional jet; seating arranged in a 2-1 layout (one seat on the left, two on the right of the aisle); seat pitch approximately 31 inches.
• Fleet size: over 50 aircraft in active service.
• The ERJ-145 is purpose-built for short-haul regional routes, ideal for connecting smaller cities to major hubs efficiently.

Looking ahead, Piedmont has announced a significant fleet transition beginning in 2028, when it will start receiving Embraer E175 jets — 76-seat aircraft offering a two-class configuration (First Class and Economy). This upgauging will expand capacity and passenger comfort on higher-demand routes while the ERJ-145 continues operating on lower-density routes well into the 2030s.

All Piedmont aircraft are maintained to stringent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards and undergo regular safety inspections as part of the American Airlines Group's comprehensive maintenance programme.
