“ I never thought that we would be saying farewell to US Airways, as they have opened up many routes for us here in the Turks and Caicos Islands and have helped us welcome thousands of tourists annually.” said CEO John Smith.
American Airlines and US Airways are in the final stages of completing their merger and as such, the passenger service system has been engaged and there is now one new logo that is to be displayed at all airport worldwide. The old US Airways logo will disappear into history similar to that of Pan Am, Continental and TWA.
This merger will bring about enormous passenger benefits such as; one single website for ticketing purposes and no more double booking with dual companies. A single check in system with more destinations worldwide with a single carrier is now offered. One identifiable logo has also been launched to be the face of the new American Airlines that embodies both companies’ and what they stand for. The One World Alliance has taken over and passengers have been offered the opportunity to merge their points earned using the past Star Alliance. All of these things have been done to streamline the travel process to better suit the passenger experience.
American Airlines is always exploring new possibilities and is here to stay, as they have added a third daily flight to PLS and intends to keep this flight for the upcoming winter season. There is also optimism towards increasing their lift where there is a gap in the market.
This merger has made American Airlines one of the biggest airlines in the world strengthened with a strong market presence, more airplanes and more routes to passenger destinations. American Airlines looks forward to “Returning American to Greatness” by focusing on customers and being an industry leader after 2 decades of service.
