DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF) — Workers with a regional airline employing about 200 people at Dayton International Airport may lose their jobs.

According to Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, this is because a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Notice (WARN) says Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC will end its capacity purchase agreement with American Airlines, Inc. effective April 3, 2025.

“At this time, the reductions are expected to be temporary for our unionized employees and permanent for management/salaried employees, WARN notice said. The duration of the reduction is unknown and will be dependent on alternative flying opportunities. It may result in the layoff of approximately 201 employees, 20 management/salaried employees and 185 union/represented employees in the state of Ohio.”

The letter states any reduction may begin as soon as March 31 or during the 14-day period thereafter.

Positions most impacted by the airline include A/P mechanics, CRJ captains, first officers, flight attendants and others.

Dayton 24/7 Now has reached to a spokesperson with Dayton International Airport to see what impact this will have on flights there.
