US Airways: One last big deal for US airline consolidation
US Airways CEO Doug Parker observed that he sees “one big deal left” as a merger prospect in the US and that it would involve his carrier. Mr Parker stated that if one of the big three carriers – United Continental, Delta Air Lines or American Airlines – wanted to make a deal, US Airways is the last major carrier left. Mr Parker wants his company to be well positioned should the merger opportunity arise, however believes US Airways could also continue as a stand-alone.
