Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities
Act
"), this registration statement shall also cover any additional shares of the
Registrant's common stock that become issuable under the 2011 Incentive Award Plan (the
"
2011 Plan
"), by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or
similar transaction effected without the registrant's receipt of consideration which would
increase the number of outstanding shares of common stock.

Represents 15,157,626 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2011
Plan as of July 1, 2011, which number consists of (a) 15,000,000 shares of common stock
initially reserved for future grants under the 2011 Plan and (b) 157,626 shares of common
stock previously available for issuance under the US Airways Group, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "
2008 Plan
") and the US Airways Group, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"
2005 Plan
" and collectively with the 2008 Plan, the "
Prior Plans
") that have
become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as of the effective date of the 2011 Plan.
To the extent outstanding awards under the Prior Plans are forfeited or lapse unexercised
following the effective date of the 2011 Plan, additional shares of common
stock subject to such awards will be available
for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.

This estimate is made pursuant to Rule 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act for purposes
of calculating the registration fee. The Proposed Maximum Offering
Price Per Share is $8.98
which is the average of the high and low prices for the registrant's common stock as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange on June 27, 2011.
Proposed sale to take place as soon after the effective date of the
registration statement as awards under the plans are exercised and/or vest.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article VI of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for
the elimination of personal monetary liabilities of directors of the Registrant for breaches of
their fiduciary duties as directors, except that, as provided by Section 102(b)(7) of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware (the "
DGCL
"), such personal monetary liability of a director
may not be eliminated with regard to any breach of the duty of loyalty, failing to act in good
faith, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, payment of an unlawful dividend,
approval of an illegal stock repurchase, or obtainment of an improper personal benefit. Such a
provision has no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission, for breach of fiduciary duty.
Article VII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for
indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant to the extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides for indemnification of directors and officers from and against
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably
incurred by them in connection
with any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative claim or proceeding (including civil
actions brought as derivative actions by or in the right of the Registrant but only to the extent
of expenses reasonably incurred in defending or settling such action) in which they may become
involved by reason of being a director or officer of the Registrant if the director or officer
acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the Registrant and, in addition, in criminal actions, if he had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct to be unlawful. If, in an action brought by or in the right of the
Registrant, the director or officer is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
2
Table of Contents
performance of his duty, he will only be entitled to such indemnity as the court finds to be
proper. Persons who are successful in defense of any claim against them are entitled to
indemnification as of right against expense actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith. In all other cases, indemnification shall be made (unless otherwise ordered by a court)
only if the board of directors, acting by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors,
independent legal counsel or holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote determines that
the applicable standard of conduct has been met. Section 145 also provides such indemnity for
directors and officers of a corporation who, at the request of the corporation, act as directors,
officers, employees or agents of other corporations, partnerships or other enterprises.
Article VI of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws requires the Registrant to
indemnify any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including any action or suit by or in our right), because such
person is or was one of the Registrant's directors or officers, or is or was a director or officer
of the Registrant serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
liability or expenses reasonably incurred by the director or officer in such proceeding if such
director or officer acted in good faith, in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the Registrant's bests interests, and, with respect to criminal proceedings, had no reasonable
cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful; except that no indemnification will be made if
it is determined that the director or officer was liable to the Registrant, unless the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines
that indemnification is appropriate.
The Registrant also maintains insurance for officers and directors against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The effect of this insurance is to
indemnify any officer or director of the Registrant against expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by an
officer or director upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The premiums for
such insurance are paid by the Registrant.
Under separate indemnification agreements with the Registrant, each officer and director of
the Registrant is indemnified against all liabilities relating to his or her position as an officer
or director of the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
a.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant to
this Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided
,
however
, that: paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4
Table of Contents
b.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
c.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions
described under "Item 6—Indemnification of Directors and Officers," or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant

filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
