Designer:  Luxon Carrá

Typography:  Unknown
Launched:  February 27, 1997

USAir was rebranded as US Airways on February 27, 1997. The name change happened partly because the company wanted to present itself as a major airline. Most major airlines in the US have a name with "airlines" or "airways" in it, while names with "air" are usually used by smaller regional airlines. The design was made by Luxon Carrá and Deskey Associates.

US Airways merged with American Airlines on December 9, 2013, and moved to Oneworld on March 31, 2014. On July 13, 2015, American announced that it planned to discontinue the US Airways brand name on October 17. On that date, US Airways was scheduled to make the final flight for the airline as a red-eye from San Francisco to Philadelphia, taking off as US Airways Flight 1939, and landing as American Airlines Flight 1939.
