US Airways Registers Interestin Domain Names
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (TheStreet) -- As it studies whether to pursue a merger with bankrupt AMR, US Airways(LCC_) has registered some domain names that might come in handy.
Among the domainnames, usable as either .com, .net or .org sites, are american-usairways.com, americanairlinesusairways.com, usairways-american.com, usandaa.com and half a dozen similar names.
The registrations were first reported on Sunday by Domain Name Wire, a news source for the domainname industry. The names were registered through DNStinations, an affiliate of brand protection company MarkMonitor.
"The purchase of these domain names, along with other potential transaction names, is simply step to ensure others do not use our marks in a way that might negatively impact our brand," US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr says.
US Airways previously disclosed that it has hired advisers to help it assess the potential for a merger with American. "Although it is not imperative that US Airways participate in further consolidation, we are interested in studying potential value-enhancing opportunities, including a possible US Airways-AMR transaction," Mohr says. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C.
