US Airways plans to consolidate Regionals
US Airways CEO David Siegel said yesterday that the company will consolidate the number of Regionals operating as US Airways Express carriers over the next several years. "Ultimately we will probably reduce it down to a couple of partners," Siegel told ATWOnline at the Regional Airline Assn. annual convention in Phoenix. "We don’t need 10. Two or three are more likely." He also said US Airways may consider the new Embraer 190/195 as a replacement for aging mainline aircraft over the next 5-10 years. He called the aircraft an "attractive option," noting its commonality with the 85 Embraer 170s ordered last week (ATWOnline, May 14).--Sandra Arnoult
"More propaganda that leaves Group employees with more questions."
