The airline enjoyed near constant news coverage, hardly a week went by without at least one article in the Arizona Republic, the state's biggest newspaper, and usually several, often updating progress on the CAB cases. The newspaper often referred to the airline as the "State Airway" or similar. In February 1948, the CAB awarded Arizona Airways four routes from Phoenix, three within Arizona, one across New Mexico to El Paso, Texas.
