Wear a chapter of regional air travel history with this US Airways Express Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. The brand represented independently operated commuter airlines serving smaller markets and linking them with larger airline hubs. Its story reaches back to 1967, when Henson Airlines began flying as Allegheny Commuter between Baltimore and Hagerstown. From that beginning, the network took on the names USAir Express and US Airways Express, marking decades of change in airline identity. A considered pick for aviation fans and collectors of airline history.
US Airways Express was the regional service brand for independently owned commuter and regional airlines operating short- and medium-haul flights for US Airways. Its lineage reaches 1967, when Henson Airlines began flying as Allegheny Commuter, feeding Allegheny Airlines on an initial Baltimore-to-Hagerstown route. The article describes this arrangement as generally credited as the industry's first codeshare agreement and the first use of a commuter partner by a major airline. Additional commuter carriers joined during the 1970s. Allegheny Airlines became USAir in 1979, while the feeder network kept the Allegheny Commuter name until its 1989 change to USAir Express. When USAir became US Airways in 1997, the regional brand became US Airways Express. Following the 1980s mergers of Pacific Southwest Airlines and the original Piedmont Airlines into USAir, those corporate names were retained; later, Henson Airlines took the Piedmont name and Jetstream International became PSA Airlines. The regional brand served smaller markets in the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas, centered mainly on hubs and focus cities. After US Airways completed its merger process with American Airlines, the brand was rebranded as American Eagle on October 17, 2015.
