TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 12, 2007 — Fans of the five time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers will now have their team logo and colors flying around the US Airways (NYSE: LCC) system on a freshly painted Airbus A319 set to make its formal debut today at the US Airways maintenance facility at Pittsburgh International Airport.
US Airways Chairman and CEO Doug Parker will be on hand with representatives of the Steelers organization to formally dedicate the aircraft alongside US Airways employees.
Travis Christ, US Airways’ vice president, sales and marketing said, “The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most storied franchises in professional sports and we’re excited to showcase the team’s distinct logo and colors on one of our planes.”
“A Steelers-themed airplane is fitting because we have fans who travel from all over the country on US Airways to see our games,” said Steelers director of marketing Tony Quatrini. “This announcement is even more special because it perfectly coincides with our 75th Season Celebration.”
US Airways employs more than 2,700 Pittsburgh Steelers fans who are also aviation professionals in the greater Pittsburgh area. US Airways, through predecessors USAir and Allegheny Airlines, has a history in Pittsburgh dating back more than sixty years.
US Airways is the fifth largest domestic airline employing more than 36,000 aviation professionals worldwide. US Airways, US Airways Shuttle and US Airways Express operate approximately 3,800 flights per day and serve more than 230 communities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. The new US Airways -- the product of a merger between America West and US Airways in September 2005 -- is a member of the Star Alliance, which provides connections for our customers to 855 destinations in 155 countries worldwide.
