CNBC: U.S. Airways - America West merger
May 19, 2005 3:40:00 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Airways Group Inc. (UAIRQ) and America West Holdings Corp. (AWA) are set to announce an agreement to merge after the close of trading on Thursday, business news television station CNBC reported.

An industry source told Reuters last week that a merger announcement was close, adding that the deal would probably begin as a marketing alliance and unfold in stages.

Vi faar se ... det ble 'annonsert' en pressekonferanse klokken 13.00 PST (naa...) som tydeligvis ikke har funnet sted ... men naa flyr det saa mange rykter (ett er at 50% av AmWest's ansatte maa gaa) at det nok er best aa vente til noe kommer offisielt.
Kanskje i dag?

Dette er trolig ett av de foerste nettstedene med nyheter .. men intet er offisielt ennaa ...

But there was a clear sign an announcement could be imminent: US Airways CEO Bruce Lakefield was booked on an early morning flight to Phoenix.
Lakefield is due into Sky Harbor International Airport this morning on an America West flight, sources familiar with his travel plans say. His reservation calls for a one-day stay with a departure late tonight.

.. og DA var det offisielt ... wooow .. trodde innerst inne at dette ikke ville skje ..

PRnewswire

''The combined airline also will take delivery of 13 Airbus A320 family aircraft previously ordered by America West Airlines. Airbus has also agreed to reschedule and reconfirm 30 narrow body A320-family aircraft deliveries from 2006 - 2008 to 2009 - 2010. To rationalize international flying, the merged company will work with Airbus to transition to an all-Airbus international fleet of A330 aircraft and, beginning in 2011, A350 aircraft. ''

''The new airline will operate under a single brand of US Airways, but
its operational labor groups will be integrated over two to three
years with emphasis on minimizing any dislocations within the work
groups ''

''The combined airline is expected to operate a
mainline fleet of 361 planes (supported by 239 regional jets and 57 turboprops
for feed into the mainline system), down from a total of 419 mainline aircraft
operated by both airlines at the beginning of 2005.''

Det ser ut til å være en velregisert sammenslåing - bra informasjonsmateriell er allerede klart, som kartet over destinasjoner og nettverk

Så vidt jeg har forstått er AWA i ganske brukbar forfatning etter amerikanske forhold - hva skal de med blyloddet US rundt foten? Skyter de inn kapital eller sparker en haug med folk?

Vel, America West blir jo litt misvisende, med tanke på at de har et minst like tungt rutenett østpå, og America Airways hadde vel ikke blitt så veldig godt mottatt i Dallas.
