US Airways Express
Ghost Corp Apparel — resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
US Airways Express was not one standalone airline but the regional-flight banner used by US Airways and its roster of commuter and regional operating partners. Its roots reach to 1967, when Henson Aviation flew as Allegheny Commuter for Allegheny Airlines on the Baltimore–Hagerstown route—an early model for the code-share machine that would eventually eat the airline world for breakfast.
The network retained the Allegheny Commuter name after Allegheny became USAir in 1979, then adopted USAir Express in 1989. When USAir became US Airways in 1997, the feeder network became US Airways Express: small turboprops and regional jets wearing the mainline colors with one extra word doing a lot of logistical heavy lifting.
The banner was associated first with US Airways’ Arlington, Virginia headquarters, at Crystal City’s Crystal Park Four, and later with Tempe, Arizona after the 2005 America West–US Airways combination. Its flights connected smaller communities with big-hub operations in places such as Charlotte, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, and Washington.
Our US Airways Express collection celebrates the little planes, long connections, gate-check tags, and regional-airline hustle behind a very large network. Corporate aviation consolidation: because apparently even a commuter hop needs a merger saga.
