Envoy CRJs To Move to PSA
The move is expected to be complete by 2016.

American Airlines plans to transfer all 47 of Envoy Air’s Bombardier CRJ700s to fellow wholly owned regional subsidiary PSA starting in the middle of next year, Envoy CEO Pedro Fábregas reported in a September 4 letter to employees posted on the Dallas Morning News website. Although the major airline hasn’t yet determined the exact dates and the rates at which it will transfer the 70-seat jets, it anticipates it will complete the exercise by the end of 2016.

American said the change will simplify Envoy’s operation and lower the group’s costs. Following the removal of the CRJs and the simultaneous retirement of its Embraer ERJ-140s by next year, Envoy’s fleet will consist solely of 50-seat ERJ-145s.
