America West Airlines

America West Airlines (IATA: HP, ICAO: AWE, and Callsign: Cactus), operating as US Airways, is one of the United States' ten major airlines. The airline is based in Tempe, Arizona and is now a part of US Airways Group.

The airline maintains two hubs, one at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona, and at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, through its merger partner US Airways, it also uses the US Airways hubs and focus cities. It is the second largest low-cost airline in the US. America West provides service to approximately 100 destinations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Service to Europe is provided through code sharing arrangements.

As of March, 2005, America West operated a fleet of 140 aircraft with its only maintenance base in Phoenix.

On May 19, 2005, America West Holdings Corporation announced it would merge with the Arlington County, Virginia based US Airways Group. The new entity is named US Airways Group and is headquartered in America West's former corporate offices. The merger was completed on September 27, 2005, and America West now operates under the US Airways brand. A merger of the two airlines' FAA operating certificates is expected in 2007.

Beginning January, 2006, all America West flights are branded as US Airways, along with most signage at airports and any other printed material.
