[edit] History

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 real estate mogul Donald Trump. Trump purchased the shuttle from Eastern Airlines in 1989. It was operated as the Trump Shuttle from June 7, 1989 until 1990 when the company's loans defaulted, and ownership passed to Trump's bank partners, lead by Citigroup.

Unable to sell the operation outright to Northwest Airlines, American Airlines, or USAir Group, the banks negotiated a complex marketing arrangement in which USAir Group would assume 40% ownership and agree to manage the operation for ten years, including fares, financial record keeping, advertising, promotions, aircraft maintenance, and labor relations. The same agreement gave USAir an option to purchase the entire shuttle operation on or after October 10, 1996 with an exclusive right to do so until April 10, 1997. On April 7, 1992 Trump Shuttle ceased to exist when it was merged into a new corporation, Shuttle, Inc., which began operating as the USAir Shuttle on April 12.

US Airways Group, as US Air Group is now known, subsequently announced the purchase of the remainder of Shuttle, Inc. on November 19, 1997, and the service has operated since then under the US Airways Shuttle name. Shuttle, Inc. remained as a subsidiary of US Airways Group until July 1, 2000, when it was merged into US Airways. US Airways has since repainted their aircraft to remove the "Shuttle" part from the name.
