forming the world’s biggest airline.

On December 9, 2013, the holding corporations of American and US Airways
merged effective.

To prepare for their ultimate merger, both airlines will start offering mutual
frequent flyer benefits beginning January 7, 2014; on March 31, 2014, US Airways
will pull out of Star Alliance to join Oneworld as an affiliate member of American
Airlines.

The merged airline will carry the American Airlines name and branding; it will
also take over three of the four existing US Airways hubs (Charlotte,
Philadelphia, and Phoenix) for no less than five years under the terms of a
payment with the United States Department of Justice and numerous state
attorneys-general.

US Airways management will own the merged airline from the American
headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.

US Airways is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona; the 225,000 square feet
(20,900 m2 ) was initially the headquarters of America West Airlines.

Jahna Berry of the Arizona Business Gazette, in 2005, said that the
building “is one of the dominant buildings in downtown Tempe.”

The City of Tempe granted America West $11 million in inducements and
tax breaks so it would occupy what is now the US Airways headquarters,
which cost $37 million to assemble.

Even though construction of the building started in January 1998, the
formal groundbreaking ceremonial was held the following month.

More than 700 employees work at the nine-story building since 2006.

US Airways formerly had its headquarters in Crystal Park Four (between
Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, and the District of Columbia), a
Class A mixed-use development in Crystal City, Virginia, by Arlington.

US Airways ended up closing its Virginia headquarters following its
acquirement of America West Airlines, relocating the employees into the
previous America West building in three to six months.

Russell Grantham from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution claimed the
decision to relocate the headquarters to Tempe was not that hard since
the Crystal City facility “consisted of like two or three floors of people.”

6. 
In 2007, Pittsburgh International Airport won a three-way contest between Phoenix and Charlotte for the right to remain US Airways’ Global
Flight Operations center.

Opening in November 2008, US Airways spent over $25 million ($27.1 million today) for a 72,000 square foot (6,700 m2) facility, replacing a
smaller 11-year (prior to the merger) operations center closer to downtown Pittsburgh.

The state-of-the-art Ops Center opened early than planned; it is home to almost 600 employees, and serves as the nerve center for all of US
Airways’ almost 1,400 daily mainline flights.

7. 
The airline’s employee community-service program is the US Airways Do Crew.

Employee helpers take part in community-related projects every month by way of local chapters in Boston, Charlotte, Las Vegas, New York
City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and Winston Salem, North Carolina.

8. 
US Airways has used a number of liveries under the US Airways brand.

On the whole, the Express and Shuttle divisions have used liveries that
directly paralleled the company-wide livery at the time.

A dark blue livery was featured on US Airways aircraft before it bought
America West; after that merger, the new US Airways, now operating
flights in sunny parts of the southwestern United States, switched to a
mostly white livery.
