R. Dixon Speas Associates was formed in 1997 as the successor firm to PRC Aviation when Arthur D. Little, the international management and technology consulting firm, acquired the assets of the former company. In January of 2000, RDSA was spun off from Arthur D. Little and became a separate and independent company, owned and managed by its president, Richard J. Morris

The company traces its roots to the original R. Dixon Speas Associates that was founded in 1951 by MIT alumnus Dixon Speas after initiating his career at American Airlines. Mr. Speas, who was presented a Lifetime Achievement Award by The Wings Club in 1997, led this company and others prior to establishing PRC Aviation in 1984. When he finally accepted permanent retirement in 1997, Mr. Speas found a new home for his company, with its name restored to reflect its legacy, as noted above.

RDSA continued the firm’s tradition of excellence in aviation consulting and service to its clients with the same capable staff of Senior Associates, many of whom had worked with the firm for a decade or more. New staff with appropriate expertise and experience were added as required.
