Happy 63rd Birthday, Piedmont!

Today, Piedmont celebrates 63 years of growth in the aviation industry. From our beginning as Henson Aviation through our evolution to Piedmont Airlines, Piedmont has been a reliable and consistent presence, connecting communities and growing alongside the places we serve.

This journey reflects Piedmont’s unwavering commitment to expanding and enhancing our services to meet the evolving needs of travelers. From serving about 257,000 passengers in 1978 to more than 5,100,000 in 2024, our goal has always been to ensure that every passenger feels valued and connected on their journey, a testament to our enduring legacy in the skies. Looking to the future, continued support from our talented workforce and dedication to providing exceptional service will be key to living out our vision to build Piedmont Airlines to thrive forever.

We can’t wait to see where this year takes us!
