Mesa Airlines and Air Midwest (both subsidiaries of Mesa Air Group ), Chautauqua Airlines and Republic Airlines (both subsidiaries of Republic Airways Holdings ), Air Wisconsin , Colgan Air , and Trans States Airlines all operate under the US Airways Express name through marketing agreements. Additionally, US Airways itself operates regional flights under this name through its MidAtlantic Airways division and through US Airways Group's wholly-owned subsidiaries PSA Airlines and Piedmont Airlines . HISTORY US Airways Express can trace its beginnings to 1967 , when Henson Airlines began operating as Allegheny Commuter for Allegheny Airlines , predecessor to US Airways. The initial route was Baltimore - Hagerstown . This is generally credited as the industry's first Code-share agreement and the first major airline to use another airline as its commuter partner. Henson Airlines was the major predecessor to today's US Airways Express carrier Piedmont Airlines. Pacific Southwest Airlines and Piedmont were both major carriers that merged with USAir , which became US Airways, and the corporate names were retained to protect their Trademark s. However, the routes, aircraft, and other characteristics of the rebranded regional carriers bear no relation to their Namesake s.
