USAir Shuttle Flight Attendant Wing

1992-2000

The US Airways Shuttle was formerly operated as Shuttle, Inc. in conjunction with a syndicate of 22 banks led by Citigroup who obtained control of the company after a failed buyout by Donald Trump. Trump purchased the shuttle from Eastern Airlines in 1989. It was operated as the Trump Shuttle from June 7, 1989. On April 7, 1992 Trump Shuttle ceased to exist when it was partially merged into a new corporation, Shuttle, Inc., which began operating as the USAir Shuttle on April 12. US Air Group, subsequently announced the purchase of the remainder of Shuttle, Inc. on November 19, 1997. Shuttle Inc. remained as a subsidiary of US Airways Group until July 1, 2000, when the US Airways Shuttle merged into the mainline operation of US Airways. US Airways Group, as the USAir Group is now known due to the merger with America West Airlines, has since repainted their aircraft to remove the "Shuttle" part from the name. As an "airline with an airline," and a subsidiary and operationing division of the USAir Group, the US Airways Shuttle no longer exists.
