On May 19, 2005, America West Holdings Corporation announced it would merge with the Arlington County, Virginia based US Airways Group. The new entity is named US Airways Group and is headquartered in America West's former corporate offices. The merger was completed on September 27, 2005, and America West now operates under the US Airways brand. A merger of the two airlines' FAA operating certificates is expected in 2007.

America West air fares are no longer in existence as they’ve been bought up by US Airways. America West flight fund was probably part of their assets which were confiscated when they filed Chapter 11. America West Airline is no longer servicing customers. Their CEO has been removed, their planes have been stripped, and their employees answer to a new boss now, if they still have a job at all.

A cost-reduction effort by what was America West Airlines has turned into an environmental plus for what now is US Airways.In 2003, mechanics, fleet inspectors and other ground crew started using what they call "rickshaws" three-wheeled bikes to transport equipment. Reduced carbon emissions is now the icing on the cost-cutting cake.

In 1992, America West paid $26 million for the 30-year naming rights of the Phoenix Suns home court, which it named America West Arena. As part of the merger with US Airways, the arena is now called US Airways Center. This is not to be confused with the USAir Arena in Landover MD, which was home to the Washington Wizards and Capitals from 1973-1997. The arena was formerly the Capital Centre and was razed in 2002. It has been replaced by a shopping center, Boulevard at the Capital Centre.
