Dion is a well-qualified weekend vacation packages and experienced successor to continue the growth of the high-quality and cost-effective operation Keith has established at PSA.”
“My time at PSA has been the highlight of my more than 40-year career in aviation and I will certainly miss the daily interaction with everyone at this fine company when I retire,” weekend vacation packages Houk said. “With Dion’s strong leadership and knowledge of our business and the PSA’s team’s ability to run a top-notch regional airline, I know I will be leaving the company in capable hands to grow PSA well into the future.”
