US Airways & American Airlines Join Forces
American Airlines(AA) and US Airways(US) have agreed to a merger to create the largest US airline once AA exits bankruptcy court.
The merger will be formally announced today morning. The newly-formed company, keeping the name American Airlines, will be headquartered in AA’s Dallas-Fort Worth base in Texas.
The deal comes on the heels of a series of other recent airline mergers that have remade the US airline industry and better positioned the sector for profit.
