Description: Piedmont Airlines inaugurated service from Baltimore to the Allentown International Airport serving the bracketed cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Lehigh Valley on June 1, 1989. No philatelic recognition was requested for this domestic flight and no covers were dispatched by any of the offices involved. Covers with an Allentown June 1 cancel exist, but were not carried on the inaugural Boeing 737 flight. The USAir (later renamed USAirways) purchase of Piedmont Airlines was approved by the Department of Transportation. The sale was completed in October 1987. The two airlines operated separately until August 5, 1989, when all operations and schedules were integrated. Piedmont ceased to exist on August 5. US Airways was a major American airline that ceased to operate independently when the Federal Aviation Administration granted a single operating certificate for US Airways and American Airlines on April 8, 2015.
