<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On December&nbsp;5, 2008, US Airways, Inc. (&#147;US Airways&#148;), in accordance with the &#091;Spare Parts&#093; Loan Agreement dated as

General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, prepaid $100.0&nbsp;million aggregate
principal amount of loans outstanding under the Original Loan Agreement. In connection with such prepayment and
pursuant to an amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) of the Original Loan Agreement US Airways obtained the right to incur,
subject to certain conditions, up to $100.0&nbsp;million in new loans (&#147;New Loans&#148;) thereunder. Such right to incur New
Loans expires on April&nbsp;1, 2009. In addition, the Amendment also defers, subject to certain conditions, a shortening of
the maturity of the loans from six to five years that would have occurred automatically under the Original Loan
Agreement upon the prepayment. The maturity date will now only be shortened to 5&nbsp;years as originally contemplated if
(i)&nbsp;no New Loans have been incurred and (ii)&nbsp;certain expendable spare parts are released from the collateral securing
the loans.
