 Having
spent many glorious days and nights in and around
Phoenix,
Scottsdale, Tucson and the Southwest Desert
country, we are pleased to introduce the airline
that connects Arizona and other
fun destinations to Western Canada via YVR
Vancouver. By the way, the Arizona golf courses are
superb, as was our week at Scottsdale's
Mountain Shadows Resort,
even though it was a mostly business affair.
But
business is always more than a pleasure in Arizona.
America West
offers
two daily, non stop flights between YVR Vancouver
International Airport and Phoenix, Arizona (to be
featured in Air Highways South next fall). Watch
for features on Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada,
Southern California, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida
and other popular "snowbird" escape
destinations.
America West
Airlines, now the ninth largest US carrier,
began operations in 1983, with 280 employees and
three Boeing 737 aircraft serving five
destinations. Today, America West has over 12,000
employees and 111 aircraft serving 100 destinations
in Canada, the USA and Mexico. The airline offers
600 daily departures with a route system anchored
by hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas - and Columbus
Ohio. The Airline now has strategic alliances with
several leading domestic and international
airlines.

America West's airline's
'flexible fleet' plan allows the operation to grow
maintain a steady growth into the new millennium,
providing one of the youngest fleets in the United
States. Firm commitments to acquire 321 more A-319
and A-320 aircraft through 2001, plus options for
47 more Airbuses is a key to the strategic plan.
"We are excited about the addition of the A-318,
which will permit the airline to replace our
737-200 aircraft early in the net decade and
continue our strategy of more frequent service to
key business markets," says W.A. Franke , America
West Holdings, CEO.
America West offers
additional service to more than 35 destinations
through code-share agreements with Continental
Airlines, Mesa Airlines, EVA Airlines, Air China
and Virgin Airlines. America West Airlines has
received several awards. In 1998 for a second
consecutive year, the airline earned first place
for flights of 500 miles or less in the Airline
Customer satisfaction - US Flights Study jointly
conducted by J.D. Power and Associates and Frequent
Flyer Magazine. The airline improved in nine out of
10 categories surveyed and also significantly
improved its ranking in the study's long-haul
flights category. Also for a second year in a row,
the US. Department of Transportation (DOT) ranked
America West number one in baggage-handling
performance in its annual air Travel Consumer
Report, a government report card designed to assist
