《財富》美國500強排名：208

????今年以來，受可能與AMR Corporation合并的消息刺激,，全美航空（US Airways）股價大漲,。AMR是美國航空（American Airlines）和美國之鷹公司（American Eagle）的母公司，2011年底根據(jù)美國《破產(chǎn)法第十一章》遞交了破產(chǎn)申請。

????全美航空是美國第五大航空公司,，最初于1月份承認了合并的可能性,。當時，這家公司披露稱,，公司已聘請了顧問公司,，探索并購的可能性。從春到冬,，坊間猜測不斷,。12月份，美國航空確認在討論可能的并購時,，與全美航空管理層分享了保密的財務(wù)信息,。航空業(yè)幾大工會都對這項并購持支持態(tài)度。

????全美航空基本上經(jīng)營美國國內(nèi)航線,，面臨著來自西南航空（Southwest Airlines）等廉價航空公司的激烈競爭,。但分析人士表示，如果它與美國航空合并,，它將成為一家規(guī)模大得多的國際航空公司,。

#1 US Airways Group

Ticker:?LCC

YTD stock performance:?152%

Market cap:?$2.1 billion

Fortune 500 rank:?208

????Since the start of the year,?US Airways(LCC,?Fortune 500)?shares have been on a tear as the airline pursues a merger with AMR Corporation, the parent of American Airlines and American Eagle, which filed for?Chapter 11 bankruptcy?at the end of 2011.

????US Airways, the nation's fifth-largest carrier, first acknowledged the possibility of a merger in January, when it disclosed that it had hired advisers to explore a possible deal. Speculation continued to build throughout the year. In December,?American confirmed?that it has shared confidential financial information with US Airways management as part of discussions for a possible deal, which the industry's major unions support.

????US Airways mostly operates domestically and faces stiff competition from low-cost carriers likeSouthwest Airlines?(LUV,?Fortune 500). But analysts say a merger with American would make it a much bigger player internationally.
