Airline Identity
History
US Airways traced its roots to All American Aviation, an airmail carrier founded in 1939, which became Allegheny Airlines in 1953, USAir in 1979, and US Airways in 1997 after absorbing Piedmont Airlines and Pacific Southwest Airlines in the late 1980s. In 2005 it merged with America West Airlines, moving its corporate headquarters to Tempe, Arizona, and in February 2013 US Airways Group announced a merger with American Airlines' parent AMR Corporation, which closed that December to create what was then the world's largest airline.
Current Operations
US Airways no longer operates: it stopped flying under its own name and Air Operator Certificate in 2015, with its final flight (San Francisco to Philadelphia) taking place on 17 October 2015. Its routes, aircraft, former hubs (Charlotte, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington-National) and staff were fully absorbed into American Airlines, which today operates them as part of its combined global network under the American brand and the oneworld alliance.
