US AIRWAYS TO BUILD CHARLOTTE HANGAR 
FOR OVERNIGHT MAINTENANCE

ARLINGTON, Va., July 19, 2000 -- US Airways’ Board of Directors gave approval today for construction of a new $10 million hangar in Charlotte to accommodate overnight maintenance of aircraft.

The 46,000-square foot facility will be constructed next to existing hangar facilities, which are used for longer-term "heavy" maintenance. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2001.

"The Charlotte airport has emerged as a world-class facility that serves both passenger and maintenance needs well. With this addition of a new overnight maintenance facility, it will be even better positioned to become the leading airport in the Southeast," said US Airways Chairman Stephen M. Wolf.

United Airlines Chairman and CEO Jim Goodwin said: "United is committed to increasing service at the Charlotte hub and to developing it as a competitive alternative to Atlanta once the merger transaction with US Airways is completed. This additional line maintenance hangar will be a welcomed addition at Charlotte."

Gov. Jim Hunt of North Carolina said, "I’m delighted US Airways is expanding in Charlotte. Our state was First In Flight and this announcement means North Carolina is continuing to build on its long legacy in the field of aviation. We are grateful for US Airways’ commitment to North Carolina, we are excited about these plans and want to do all we can to make it a success."

With more than 495 jet and US Airways Express flights daily serving more than 100 destinations nonstop, Charlotte is well positioned as a major domestic and international hub. US Airways enplaned nearly 10 million passengers at Charlotte in 1999 and has more than 8,500 employees in the Charlotte area.

US Airways, the US Airways Express carriers, US Airways Shuttle, and low-fare MetroJet fly to 205 destinations worldwide, including 38 states in the U.S., Bermuda, Cancun, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, Nassau, San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Croix, and the Canadian destinations of Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Hamilton, and London, Ontario. US Airways’ transatlantic destinations include Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Munich, Paris and Rome.
