The heritage liveries have proved popular since they were first introduced byUS Airways following its merger with America West Airlines in 2005. The fleet included Allegheny Airlines, America West, Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) and Piedmont Airlines liveries and has been expanded to include the AirCal, Reno Air, TWA and US Airways liveries since the carrier disappeared into American this October.

The aircraft are popular with employees and customers alike, with American repeatedly highlighting the aircraft in its employee newsletter.

While Fort Worth-based American is finished with its heritage liveries, it will continue to repaint US Airways aircraft in the American colours through the end of 2016.
