American Airlines Shuttle

History

The brand was transferred to American Airlines after its final integration with US Airways was completed on October 17, 2015.[6] It is the descendant of the original Eastern Air Lines Shuttle, which began operating in 1961, and in subsequent iterations operated as Trump Shuttle, USAir Shuttle, and US Airways Shuttle. It's historical rival is Delta Shuttle, which is the corporate descendant of Pan Am Shuttle.

The American Airlines Shuttle utilizes its Airbus A319, Embraer 175, and Boeing 737 aircraft.[3]
