                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
                                    OVERVIEW
 
     On August 25, 1994, America West Airlines, Inc. (the "Company") emerged
from bankruptcy protection after filing a voluntary petition to reorganize under
Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on June 27, 1991. In connection with
its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start reporting in
accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. Under fresh start reporting, the reorganization
value of the Company has been allocated to its assets and liabilities on a basis
substantially consistent with purchase accounting. The portion of reorganization
value not attributable to specific tangible assets has been recorded as
"Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable Assets."
Certain fresh start reporting adjustments, primarily related to the adjustment
of the Company's assets and liabilities to fair market values, will have a
significant effect on the Company's future statements of operations. The more
significant adjustments relate to reduced depreciation expense on property and
equipment, increased amortization expense relating to reorganization value in
excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets, increased interest expense
and reduced aircraft rent expense. In addition, income tax expense for financial
reporting purposes will generally be higher than it otherwise would be as
amortization of the excess reorganization value is not deductible for income tax
purposes.
 
     The Company's results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
have not been prepared on a basis of accounting consistent with its results of
operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 due to the implementation of
fresh start reporting upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Company realized net income of $20.9 million for the second quarter of
1995 compared to $20.1 million for the second quarter of 1994. Operating income
for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was $53.0 million and $44.1
million, respectively. The 1994 second quarter net income included
reorganization expense of $9.9 million. Income tax expense was $20.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $.8 million for the 1994 second
quarter due primarily to a higher level of pretax income in 1995 and the impact
of a certain nondeductible expense discussed above.
 
     For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company realized net
income of $26.1 million and $35.3 million, respectively. Net income for the six
month period of 1994 included reorganization expense of $18.3 million.
 
     Total operating revenues were $399.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 compared to $363.4 million for the comparable 1994 period, an increase of
10%. Passenger revenue increased 10.1% to $375.0 million for the 1995 second
quarter compared to $340.6 million for the 1994 second quarter as a result of
increases realized in both load factor and yield, as more fully discussed below.
Cargo and other revenues increased 9.7% to $24.9 million for the 1995 second
quarter compared to $22.7 million for the 1994 second quarter. Total operating
revenues were $745.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to
$708.6 million for the comparable period of 1994. Passenger revenues increased
5% to $698.4 million and cargo and other revenues increased 8.5% to $47.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six-month 1994
period.

     Capacity, as measured by available seat miles, increased 7.9% and 7.8% for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, compared to
the 1994 periods. These increases were the result of the addition of four
aircraft to the fleet and increases in the average stage length of 2.4% and
3.1%, respectively. Revenue passenger miles increased 8.6% and 5.2% for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the
1994 periods. Consequently, load factor increased by .4 load factor points for
the three month period but decreased by 1.7 load factor points for the six month
period of 1995 compared to the comparable 1994 periods. Yield increased 1.4% for
the three months ended June 30, 1995 as passenger fare increases were sustained
in certain key markets and discounting of fares was less pervasive across the
industry; however, yield was flat for the six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the 1994 period.
 
     Operating expense per available seat mile increased to 7.14 cents for the
second quarter of 1995 from 7.09 cents for the 1994 quarter, but decreased to
7.04 cents for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from 7.12 cents for the six
month period of 1994. The table below sets forth the major categories of
operating expense per available seat mile for the applicable periods.

<PAGE>   4
 
     The changes in the components of operating expense per available seat mile
are explained as follows:
 
     - The increase in salaries and related costs is the result of salary
       increases effective January 1, 1995 under the Total Pay Program which are
       anticipated to increase non-executive pay by approximately $25 million
       annually, accruals totaling $4.5 million for the six months ended June
       30, 1995 to provide for performance awards and increases in pilot
       salaries under the contract with the pilots' collective bargaining agent.
       Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in the work force
       arising from a strategic restructuring program. Since January 1995,
       reductions in the work force of approximately 1,100 positions have been
       realized. When fully implemented, the strategic restructuring programs
       are anticipated to result in the elimination of approximately 1,300
       positions.
 
     - The decrease in rentals and landing fees is the result of increases in
       the nominal expense levels of 4.7% and 3.8% for the three month and six
       month periods ended June 30, 1995 over the comparable 1994 periods, which
       was more than offset by increases in available seat miles flown of 7.9%
       and 7.8% for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995,
       respectively. Aircraft rent expense increased due to the addition of four
       aircraft to the fleet.
 
     - Aircraft fuel increased during the second quarter due to the increase in
       the average price per gallon to 55.13 cents in 1995 from 52.65 cents for
       1994. For the six month period, the average price per gallon of fuel
       increased to 54.56 cents for 1995 from 53.66 cents for 1994. Also, fuel
       consumption was higher in both of the 1995 periods then in 1994 due to
       the increases in capacity discussed above.
 
     - Agency commissions decreased due to a change in the mix of tickets sold
       through travel agencies vis-a-vis direct sales to passengers through the
       Company's reservations system.
 
     - Aircraft maintenance materials and repairs increased largely as the
       result of a flight hour agreement involving certain auxiliary power
       units, an increase in block hours flown and a change in the
       classification of the amortization expense associated with capitalized
       heavy engine and airframe overhauls. For the three months and six months
       ended June 30, 1995 amortization of capitalized maintenance totaling $1.9
       million and $2.8 million, respectively, is included in aircraft
       maintenance materials and repairs. Amortization of capitalized
       maintenance totaling $9.4 million and $17.8 million for the 1994 second
       quarter and six month period, respectively, is included in depreciation
       and amortization expense.
 
     - Depreciation and amortization expense decreased due to the classification
       change discussed above.
 
     - Other operating expenses decreased due to reductions in advertising
       expense and property taxes.
 
     Nonoperating expenses (net of nonoperating income) amounted to $11.8
million and $23.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 was $15.6 million compared to
$12.9 million for the second quarter of 1994. In conformity with SOP 90-7, the
Company ceased accruing and paying interest on unsecured prepetition long-term
debt during the pendency of its bankruptcy proceeding. Interest expense for the
second quarter of 1994 would have been $17.5 million, if the Company had accrued
interest expense on such prepetition debt. The 1994 second quarter includes
reorganization expense of $9.9 million. Interest income for the second quarter
of 1995 increased to $4.1 million compared to $.2 million for the second quarter
of 1994 due to the significant improvement in the Company's liquidity, period
over period.
 
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents increased to $279.4 million at June
30, 1995 from $182.6 million at December 31, 1994. Cash generated from operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $179.9
million and $139.2 million, respectively. During the first six months of 1995,
the Company incurred capital expenditures of $50.7 million compared to $35.0
million in 1994. The capital expenditures incurred for both the 1995 and 1994
quarters consisted largely of aircraft spare parts and heavy engine overhauls.

     The Company has a working capital deficiency which has decreased to $47.1
million at June 30, 1995 from $47.9 million at December 31, 1994. Despite the
working capital deficiency, the Company expects to meet all of its obligations
as they become due.
 
     At June 30, 1995, the Company had on order with AVSA S.A.R.L. ("AVSA") a
total of 24 Airbus A320-200 aircraft, with an aggregate net cost estimated at
$1.1 billion. Delivery dates of the aircraft will fall in the years 1998 through
2000 with an option to defer the 1998 deliveries. If new A320 aircraft are
delivered as a result of a certain "put" agreement (and in April 1995, the
Company took delivery of two new A320 aircraft under this "put" agreement), the
Company will have the right to cancel on a one-for-one basis, up to a maximum of
eight non-consecutive aircraft deliveries hereunder, subject to certain
conditions. Additionally, the Company has the option to cancel without cause, up
to an additional four of these aircraft, and the Company has the right, with
that airline's concurrence, to assign all or some of these delivery positions to
Continental Airlines.
 
     In December 1994, the Company entered into a support contract with
International Aero Engines ("IAE") which provides for the purchase by the
Company of six new V2500-A5 spare engines scheduled for delivery beginning in
1998 through 2000 for use on certain of the A320 fleet. Such engines have an
estimated aggregate cost of $42.3 million. Under this contract, as amended, the
Company took delivery of one additional V2500-A5 engine in June 1995.
 
     At June 30, 1995, the Company had significant capital commitments for a
number of new aircraft and spare engines, as discussed above. Although the
Company has arranged for financing on an "if needed" basis for up to one-half of
the deliveries under the AVSA agreement, the Company will require substantial
capital from external sources to meet its remaining financial commitments. The
Company intends to seek additional financing (which may include public debt
financing or private financing) in the future when and as appropriate. There can
be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained for all aircraft,
spare engines and other capital requirements. A default by the Company under any
such commitment could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
     At June 30, 1995, the Company was obligated to lease five aircraft under a
put agreement with deliveries to start no earlier than January 1, 1996 and end
by June 30, 1999. Under the agreement, new or used B737-300, B757-200, or new or
"like new" A320-200 aircraft may be put to the Company at a rate of no more than
two aircraft in 1996 and three aircraft per year, thereafter. In addition, no
more than four used aircraft may be put to the Company, and for every new A320
aircraft put to the Company, the Company has the right to reduce deliveries
under the AVSA A320 purchase contract on a one-for-one basis. During each
January of the put period, the Company will negotiate the type and delivery
dates for deliveries during the year beginning in the following January. The
negotiation deadline for 1996 deliveries has been postponed until September 30,
1995 by mutual agreement.
 
     Certain of the Company's long-term debt agreements contain minimum cash
balance requirements, leverage ratios, coverage ratios and other financial
covenants with which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 1995.
 
     In June 1995, the Company acquired an interest in the limited partnership
which owns, and entered into an advertising and media arrangement with the
Arizona Diamondbacks, the major league baseball franchise that will begin to
play in Phoenix in 1998, which arrangement contemplates an investment by the
Company of $5 million over the next three years.
 
     In July 1995, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its proposal to utilize existing
cash balances to prepay $48 million of its $123 million Existing Notes and to
exchange the remaining $75 million Existing Notes for $75 million New Notes. On
August 14, 1995, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by such
registration statement.

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
     The selected data presented below under the captions "Statement of
Operations Data" and "Balance Sheet Data" for, and as of, (i) the period August
26, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the period January 1, 1994 to August 25, 1994,
and each of the years in the four-year period ended December 31, 1993, are
derived from the financial statements of the Company, which financial statements
have been audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public
accountants and (ii) the periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 which are derived
from the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company. The selected
data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, the related
notes and the independent auditors' report, included elsewhere in the
Prospectus. The independent auditors' report for the period August 26, 1994 to
December 31, 1994, the period January 1, 1994 to August 25, 1994, and as of
December 31, 1994 contains an explanatory paragraph that states the financial
statements of the Reorganized Company reflect the impact of adjustments to
reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities under fresh start reporting. As
a result, the financial statements of the Reorganized Company are presented on a
different basis than those of the Predecessor Company and, therefore, are not
comparable in all respects.

(a)  The Company filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of
     the Bankruptcy Code on June 27, 1991 and operated as a debtor-in-possession
     until the Effective Date. The financial statements of the Reorganized
     Company are presented on a different basis of accounting than those of the
     Predecessor Company and, therefore, are not comparable in all respects. The
     financial statements of the Reorganized Company reflect the impact of
     adjustments to reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities under fresh
     start reporting.
(b)  Includes extraordinary items of $257.7 million in 1994 resulting from the
     discharge of indebtedness pursuant to the consummation of the Plan of
     Reorganization and, $2.0 million in 1990, resulting from the purchase and
     retirement of convertible subordinated debentures.
(c)  Historical per share data for the Predecessor Company is not meaningful
     since the Company has been recapitalized and has adopted fresh start
     reporting as of August 25, 1994.
(d)  Includes certain balances reported as "Estimated Liabilities Subject to
     Chapter 11 Proceedings" for the Predecessor Company.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995
 
     America West Airlines, Inc. (the "Predecessor Company") filed a voluntary
petition on June 27, 1991 to reorganize (the "Reorganization") under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On August 10, 1994, the Plan of Reorganization
("Plan"), filed by the Predecessor Company, was confirmed and became effective
on August 25, 1994 (the "Effective Date"). For a detailed discussion of the
Company's Plan, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1994. On August 25, 1994, America West Airlines, Inc. (the
"Reorganized Company" or the "Company") adopted fresh start reporting in
accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. Accordingly, the Company's post-reorganization
balance sheet and statement of operations have not been prepared on a basis
consistent with such pre-reorganization financial statements and are not
comparable in all respects to financial statements prior to reorganization. For
accounting purposes, the inception date of the Reorganized Company is deemed to
be August 26, 1994. A vertical black line is shown in the financial statements
to separate the Reorganized Company from the Predecessor Company since they are
not comparable.
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission but do not include all information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to such rules and
regulations. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements
reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a
fair presentation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current year presentation. The accompanying condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
 
2.  PER SHARE DATA
 
     Primary earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock
options and warrants). Primary earnings per share reflect net income adjusted
for interest on borrowings effectively reduced by the proceeds from the assumed
exercise of common stock equivalents, but only if the effects of such
adjustments are dilutive.
 
     Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding, dilutive common stock equivalents (stock
options and warrants), and for the Predecessor Company the conversion of
outstanding convertible preferred stock and the conversion of convertible
subordinated debentures. Fully diluted earnings per share reflect net income
adjusted for interest on borrowings effectively reduced by the proceeds from the
assumed exercise of common stock equivalents, but only if the effects of such
adjustments are dilutive.
 
3.  RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS
 
     In December 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the America
West Airlines, Inc. 1994 Incentive Equity Plan (the "Incentive Plan" or "Plan").
The stockholders of the Company approved the Incentive Plan at the Annual
Meeting held in May 1995. Under the Incentive Plan, up to 3,500,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock may be issued to cover awards under the Plan, of which no
more than 1,500,000 will be issued as restricted stock or bonus stock. As of
June 30, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors granted under the Incentive Plan
41,334 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 1,492,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. Also,
options to purchase 75,000 shares of Class B Common Stock have been granted at
the fair market value on date of grant to members of the Board
 
                                      S-11

of Directors who are not employees of the Company. As of June 30, 1995, 26,167
shares of restricted stock were vested and 291,000 options to purchase shares of
Class B Common Stock were exercisable.
 
4.  INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109) upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The
Predecessor Company had adopted SFAS 109 as of January 1, 1993.

</TABLE>
 
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, income tax expense
pertains both to income from continuing operations as well as certain
adjustments necessitated by the effectiveness of the Plan and the resultant
fresh start adjustments to the Company's financial statements. The Company's
Reorganization and the associated implementation of fresh start reporting gave
rise to significant items of expense for financial reporting purposes that are
not deductible for income tax purposes. In large measure, it is these
nondeductible (for income tax purposes) expenses that result in income tax
expense (for financial reporting purposes) significantly greater than taxes
computed at the current U.S. corporate statutory rate of 35 percent.
Nevertheless, the Company's actual income tax liability (i.e., income taxes
payable) is considerably lower than income tax expense shown for financial
reporting purposes.
 
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, income tax expense
pertains solely to income from continuing operations.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     (a) Leases
 
     At June 30, 1995, the Company was obligated to lease five aircraft under a
put agreement with deliveries to start no earlier than January 1, 1996 and end
by June 30, 1999. Under the agreement, new or used B737-300, B757-200, or new or
"like new" A320-200 aircraft may be put to the Company at a rate of no more than
two aircraft in 1996 and three aircraft per year, thereafter. In addition, no
more than four used aircraft may be put to the Company, and for every new A320
aircraft put to the Company, the Company has the right to reduce deliveries
under the AVSA A320 purchase contract on a one-for-one basis. During each
January of the put period, the Company will negotiate the type and delivery
dates for deliveries during the year beginning in the following January. The
negotiation deadline for 1996 deliveries has been postponed until September 30,

     In July 1995, the Company entered into agreements to lease two Boeing
737-300 aircraft. Under the agreements, the leased aircraft have a term of two
years with payments due monthly.
 
     (b) Contingent Legal Obligations
 
     Certain administrative and priority tax claims are pending against the
Company which, if ultimately allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, would represent
general obligations of the Company. Such claims include claims of various state
and local tax authorities and certain contractual indemnification obligations.
Management cannot predict whether or not and to what extent, if any, the pending
administrative and priority tax claims will result in liabilities to the
Company. Should such liabilities be incurred, future operating results could be
adversely affected. However, based on information currently available,
management believes that the disposition will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition.
