Headquarters
Pinnacle Airlines Corp. and subsidiary Pinnacle Airlines, Inc. have their headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. As of October 2009 they were leasing a combined 86,838 square feet (8,067.5 m2) of space in the 1689 Nonconnah Boulevard building and the 1785 Nonconnah Boulevard building. The buildings are 3.47 miles (5.58 km) driving distance from the terminal at Memphis International Airport.
In 2010 Pinnacle Airlines Corp. considered moving its headquarters to Downtown Memphis and to Olive Branch, Mississippi in Greater Memphis, and the airline also considered keeping the headquarters in its current location. Pinnacle selected Downtown Memphis, and on October 8, 2010, the airline held a celebration for its decision to move into One Commerce Square in Downtown Memphis. The Center City Commission, the City of Memphis, and Shelby County gave out $10 million in incentives, including free parking, to convince Pinnacle to move to Downtown Memphis.
