Travis Christ, US Airways' vice president, sales and marketing, said: “The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most storied franchises in professional sports and we're excited to showcase the team's distinct logo and colours on one of our planes.”
US Airways, through predecessors USAir and Allegheny Airlines, has a history in Pittsburgh dating back more than sixty years.
Steelers director of marketing Tony Quatrini said: “A Steelers-themed airplane is fitting because we have fans who travel from all over the country on US Airways to see our games.
“This announcement is even more special because it perfectly coincides with our 75th season celebration.”
