America West Airlines was an airline in the United States that operated from 1981 until it merged with US Airways in 2007. It was headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. Its main hub was at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with secondary hubs at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada and John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio. America West served about 100 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico. America West began operations on August 1, 1983, with three Boeing 737s. Later that year, the company leased seven more aircraft. The Boeing 737-200 was the foundational workhorse for America West Airlines from its inception in 1983 until the fleet's gradual retirement in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
