US Airways, Inc. is a low-cost airline[1][2][3][4] owned by US Airways Group, Inc. and is the sixth largest airline in the United States. Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, US Airways has a fleet of 357 mainline jet aircraft and 329 (regional jet and turbo-prop) aircraft connecting 240 destinations in North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Europe. As of May 2008, US Airways employs 36,632 people worldwide and operates 3,512 daily flights (1,392 US Airways Mainline, 2,120 US Airways Express as of May 2008). The US in US Airways is not an abbreviation for United States, though it is a representation of it.

US Airways operates hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix. US Airways also maintains focus city operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, DC, McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, LaGuardia Airport in New York, and Logan International Airport in Boston.[5]

The airline operates the US Airways Shuttle, a US Airways brand which provides hourly service between key Northeastern markets. Regional airline service is branded as US Airways Express, operated by contract and subsidiary airline companies.

In 2005, US Airways merged with America West Airlines, but they kept the US Airways name.[6][7][8]
