Where the US code comes from
US belonged to US Airways, itself the renamed USAir and before that Allegheny Airlines. The code disappeared from schedules in 2015 when the merger with American Airlines completed and every flight moved to the AA code. The dataset still carries the US row, which is why this page exists as a legacy-code reference.
