US Airways Express
US Airways Express is a brand name used by several airlines which provide feederliner service for US Airways from smaller markets in the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas to its major stations at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, Pittsburgh International Airport, New York City's LaGuardia Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Boston's Logan International Airport.
Mesa Airlines, Air Midwest (a subsidiary of Mesa), Chautauqua Airlines, Colgan Air, and Trans States Airlines all operate under the US Airways Express name through marketing agreements. Additionally, US Airways itself operates regional flights under this name through its MidAtlantic Airways corporate division and through PSA Airlines and Piedmont Airlines, operated as wholly owned subsidiaries.
PSA and Piedmont were both major carriers which had merged with US Airways in the past, and the corporate names were retained to protect their trademarks. However, the routes, aircraft, and other characteristics of the rebranded regional carriers bear no relation to their namesakes.
