US AIRWAYS STATEMENT

ARLINGTON, Va., July 27, 2000 -- US Airways issued the following statement in response to the comments made on July 26 by Senators McCain and Gorton on the proposed US Airways-United Airlines merger:

The professionals at the Department of Justice, with the advice of the Department of Transportation, are in the process of analyzing and evaluating the proposed US Airways-United Airlines merger. The state Attorneys General are conducting their own reviews. US Airways is actively participating in these processes and is confident that the merger will bring overwhelming consumer benefits and great opportunities for the communities we serve. Moreover, it will bring a vibrant new entrant into the marketplace in the form of DC Air and provides an unprecedented guarantee of job security for the more than 40,000 US Airways employees. We fully believe that these governmental reviews will come to the positive conclusion that this merger is in the public interest and will significantly enhance domestic and international competition.

In connection with the merger of US Airways with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL Corporation, US Airways filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 6, 2000. STOCKHOLDERS OF US AIRWAYS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
