The primary driver of this turnaround is the merger of US Airways and America West, which has improved the earnings power and viability of both companies versus their standalone capabilities," said Doug Parker, chairman, president and CEO of US Airways.

Second quarter operating revenue was up to $3.2 billion compared to $845 million last year.
The airline, which is Pittsburgh International Airport's dominant carrier, said its results are being compared to America West's standalone results for the second quarter of 2005.
America West acquired US Airways Group in September 2005 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new US Airways Group.
