Fleet Rarity

The US Airways livery is now a rarity since the 2015 merger; most former US Airways A321s are now repainted in American Airlines colors.

Record Flights

Commonly used for coast-to-coast US flights, but not for ultra-long-haul missions.

Safety & Events

US Airways had a solid safety record with its A321 fleet. No significant hull loss incidents recorded for this type in their service.
