Carry a reminder of California's aviation story with this Pacific Southwest Airlines Backpack. Founded in San Diego in 1949, PSA built a loyal following as it connected cities across the state, from its early San Diego to Oakland service via Burbank to later routes reaching San Francisco and Los Angeles. Its smile-nosed aircraft and friendly-airline character remain favorites with collectors. This design brings that distinctive era of West Coast travel to everyday outings and suits airline history fans of all kinds.
Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) was a low-cost airline headquartered in San Diego, California, and operated from 1949 to 1988. Kenny Friedkin began the airline on May 6, 1949, with a weekly San Diego–Oakland service via Burbank using a leased Douglas DC-3. PSA grew into a major California intrastate carrier, adding San Francisco service in 1951 and later serving Los Angeles International Airport. Its smile-nosed aircraft and “The World's Friendliest Airline” slogan became recognizable parts of its identity. The airline went public in 1963 and expanded beyond California after federal deregulation began in 1978, including service to other western states and Mexico. Its results in the newly deregulated market disappointed. On December 8, 1986, USAir agreed to purchase PSA; the transaction closed on May 29, 1987, and PSA was integrated into USAir on April 9, 1988. USAir later became part of US Airways, which merged with American Airlines. PSA's low-cost California model also helped inspire Southwest Airlines. American Airlines Group continues to use the PSA name for its regional subsidiary, PSA Airlines.
