US Airways - April 2013 - (Page 6)

CEO Letter embark Thank You for Flying With US The New American Is Arriving ★ US Airways and American Airlines announced in February that we will combine to create a premier global carrier. Operating under the iconic American Airlines name, the combined airline will have a robust global network and one of the most modern, efficient fleets in the industry. The combined airline will provide customers with increased service across a larger worldwide network and through an enhanced oneworld® Alliance, creating more options for travel and benefits both domestically and internationally. The new American Airlines will offer more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries. The combined company is expected to maintain all hubs currently served by American Airlines and US Airways, with increased service to new cities. It is expected to provide the most service across the East Coast and central regions of the U.S., including the East Coast shuttle, and to expand its presence and further improve its network on the West Coast. The new American is planning to take delivery of 607 new aircraft, most of which will be equipped with advanced in-seat inflight entertainment systems and “Main Cabin Extra” seating with four to six inches of additional legroom in the Main Cabin. Additionally, as currently provided on US Airways’ Airbus A330 international Envoy service, American’s new transcontinental and international wide-body aircraft will feature lie-flat, all-aisle-access premium-class seats. Loyalty program members are expected to have even more opportunities to earn and redeem miles from an expanded global network of routes and partnerships, unmatched redemption options including flights, hotels, car rentals, vacation packages, one-way awards and club memberships, and much more. Until the merger is complete, US Airways will maintain its current Dividend Miles program. Dividend Miles members can continue to book, track, and manage flights on usairways.com and earn Dividend Miles. We expect the combination to be completed in the third quarter of 2013. In the meantime, it remains business as usual at US Airways. Our 32,000 employees will continue to work hard to ensure you reach your destination safely, on time, and with your bags.
