US Airways Company Description
US Airways Group takes wing with its US Airways unit, one of the nation's leading passenger carriers. Along with its regional affiliates, US Airways serves about 200 cities, mainly in the US and Canada but also in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. It uses about 350 jets on mainline routes; regional service is provided by subsidiaries Piedmont Airlines, PSA, and several independent carriers with about 300 aircraft.
