Still alive and kicking in 1992, despite the predictions of doomsayers, America West transferred the focus of its attention from Phoenix, its historical base of operations, to Columbus, Ohio. By building a hub in Ohio, the airline's leaders predicted, the company could avoid damaging competition with Southwest Airlines and garner profitable business fliers from the area's high concentration of corporate headquarters.
