                               USAIR STATEMENT

                    ARLINGTON, Va., January 28 -- USAir issued the
          following statement on the resignation of the three
          British Airways directors from the USAir board:

                    The resignation of British Airways' directors
          clears another obstacle in USAir's path toward becoming
          an effective competitor in the U.S.-U.K. market.

                    In its lawsuit against British Airways and in
          its regulatory filings, USAir has said consistently that
          it must be free of entanglement with BA.  This is one of
          the steps necessary to enable USAir to provide
          competitive balance to the proposed alliance between the
          British carrier and American Airlines.

                    In response, British Airways now has said that
          it intends to sell its USAir stock and that its
          representatives have resigned from the USAir board.  But
          competition is not yet assured.  USAir will continue its
          drive to obtain the necessary routes, slot and ground
          facilities to compete between its international gateways
          at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Charlotte and Boston and
          London's Heathrow Airport.

                    USAir also said it will continue to pursue its
          lawsuit against British Airways and American Airlines
          pending in federal district court in New York.  In the
          suit, USAir said British Airways has breached its
          contract with USAir and that BA and American Airlines
          have violated antitrust laws.
