US Airways (Phoenix and Dallas/Fort Worth) has decided to honor the long line of Boeing 737 Classic aircraft with a special flight “US 0737” that will be flown on the last day of revenue passenger operations for the last Boeing 737-400 on August 19.

US Airways, with the previously legacy operations of Allegheny Airlines, USAir, Piedmont Airlines and now US Airways, the airline has flown the Boeing 737-200, 737-300 and 737-400 models. This is the last flight of a Classic 737 for the company.

The new American Airlines will continue to operate the Next-Generation Boeing 737-800 model. This special flight is available to the public and employees who want to experience history of the last flight.

Passengers and employees on this special flight will pay tribute to the many years of faithful service this aircraft type has provided to the legacy US Airways certificate holder.

The special flight will be routed from Charlotte (CLT) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), then on to Philadelphia (PHL) and finally back to Charlotte to close this chapter of airline history. Extra time is being allocated at each station for special farewell ceremonies.

Previously on November 26, 2012 US Airways retired its last Boeing 737-300 from revenue service. Aircraft 737-3B7 N530AU (msn 24412) operated flight US 1611 from Raleigh/Durham to the Charlotte hub ending 28 years of faithful service
