When Does Us Move To Terminal 4 At Phx?

[AA191]

When should we expect US to move into Terminal 4 at Sky Harbor?

I wouldn't expect to see any changes for either airline at any airport until the fall at the earliest when the merger is approved.

Don't you mean "after the leases are
rejected on all duplicate properties and
airport facilities when US exits CH11?"

I would expect the process to move along
quickly, like in 3 months or less. The DOT,
DOJ, and ATSB will all approve the merger
without much resistance, and all that will
remain is for US to get their ducks in a row
for an orderly exit from CH11. Once that
happens, CCY will be closed and any and
all duplicative management functions at US
will be transferred to Tempe, or eliminated.

Gates and other airport facilities will be
promptly consolidated as soon as US
emerges from BK.

The only lengthy part of the process will
be intergation of the union represented
work groups and the FAA flight certificates.
As they said it will be a 2 or 3 year process,
there should be no surprises.

I would also agree that the gate consolidation will happen very quickly where ever it can be changed, especially in the larger stations. Cities where there is a very small presence, like just 1 gate each, might remain that way for a while longer. Just my thoughts..........

There are IT and other issues with gate consolidation (need to be able to do W&B, closeout, read boarding passes etc.) AA/TW showed you can do it fairly quickly, but it will depend at least partly on the systems (above and below wing) being used HP and US

I agree. The excess gate space needs to be rejected while the Chapter 11 window is open. I suspect that the plan is already in place as to who will move where and at which airports. At the US hubs/focus cities, it will likely take a little longer for HP to move to the US concourses since HP does not have the "luxury" of Chapter 11 to reject leases.
