Discount carrier US Airways is the fifth largest airline in America. It flies to almost 240 destinations across North and Central America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and Europe. In 2005, the airline merged with America West; the new airline retains the name US Airways, but incorporates all flights and aircraft from both previous airlines.
