Item 5.  Other Events.

         On December 20, 2002, US Airways Group, Inc. (the "Company") and
certain of its subsidiaries filed their joint plan of reorganization (the
"Plan") and related disclosure statement (the "Disclosure Statement") with the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria
Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement
are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively.

         Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan
until the Bankruptcy Court approves the applicable Disclosure Statement relating
to the Plan as providing adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient
detail, as far as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and history
of the debtor and the condition of the debtor's books and records, that would
enable a hypothetical reasonable investor typical of the holder of claims or
interests of the relevant class to make an informed judgment about the Plan.
Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed
as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Company will emerge from Chapter
11 if and when the Plan receives the requisite creditor approvals and is
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.


         Certain of the information contained in the Plan and Disclosure
Statement should be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect the
Company's current views with respect to current events and financial
performance. Such forward looking statements are and will be, as the case may
be, subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's
operations and business environment which may cause the actual results of the
Company to be materially different from any future results, express or
implied, by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, the following: the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern; the ability of the Company to operate pursuant to the
terms of the DIP facility; the Company's ability to obtain court approval with
respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceeding prosecuted by it from time to
time; the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate
one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 cases;
risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to
terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Company to propose and
confirm one or more plans of reorganization, for the appointment of a Chapter
11 trustee or to convert the cases to Chapter 7 cases; the ability of the
Company to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service
providers; the Company's ability to maintain contracts that are critical to
its operations; the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 cases on the
Company's liquidity or results of operations; the ability of the Company to
fund and execute its business plan; the ability of the Company to attract,
motivate and/or retain key executives and associates; and the ability of the
Company to attract and retain customers; demand for transportation in the
markets in which the Company operates; economic conditions; labor costs;
financing costs; aviation fuel costs; security-related costs; competitive
pressures on pricing (particularly from lower-cost competitors); weather
conditions; government legislation and regulation; consumer perceptions of the
Company's products; and other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time
in the Company's reports to the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. Other factors and assumptions not identified above are also
involved in the preparation of forward-looking statements, and the failure of
such other factors and assumptions to be realized may also cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed. The Company assumes no
obligation to update such estimates to reflect actual results, changes in
assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such estimates other than as
required by law. Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of
any plan of reorganization ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the
Company's various pre-petition liabilities, common stock and/or other equity
securities. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be
ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these constituencies.
Accordingly, the Company urges that the appropriate caution be exercised with
respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities and/or
securities.
