OREANDA-NEWS. This week US Airways will relocate its Las Vegas operation from the A Concourse to the D Concourse at McCarran International Airport. Starting Wednesday morning, US Airways flights and their passengers will arrive and depart from McCarran’s D gates.

US Airways’ ticketing and baggage services will remain in Terminal 1 in their current locations.

This move will bring US Airways and American Airlines into the same concourse at McCarran and co-locate the airlines’ operations in anticipation of the finalization of their merger bid. The companies announced in February that they planned to merge in a deal that would create the biggest airline in the world.

Additionally, this move will offer an added convenience for some travelers making connections, as it places US Airways in the same concourse as its current Star Alliance network partner, United Airlines.
