Item 8.01     Other Events.

On September 26, 2007, as part of the integration efforts following the merger of US Airways Group, Inc. ("US Airways Group") and America West Holdings Corporation ("America West Holdings") in September 2005, America West Airlines, Inc. ("AWA") surrendered its Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") operating certificate. As a result, all future airline operations will be conducted under US Airways, Inc.'s ("US Airways") FAA operating certificate.  In connection with the combination of all airline operations under one FAA operating certificate, US Airways Group contributed one hundred percent of its equity interest in America West Holdings, the parent company of AWA, to US Airways. In addition, AWA transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities to US Airways. All off-balance sheet commitments of AWA were also transferred to US Airways. Specifically, there are 18 pass through trusts that have issued over $1.4 billion of pass through trust certificates (also known as "Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates" or "EETCs") covering the financing of 54 aircraft and three engines that were leased to AWA. As of September 26, 2007, approximately $714 million of principal amount of pass through certificates was outstanding. All of AWA's obligations with respect to those pass through trusts and the leases of the related aircraft and engines have now been transferred to US Airways. As a result of the transfer of AWA's obligations, the leases are now direct obligations of US Airways. The pass through trust certificates are not the direct obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, US Airways. In addition, neither US Airways Group nor US Airways guarantee or participate in any way in the residual value of the leased aircraft. Because all of the aircraft and engines financed by the certificates issued by the pass through trusts are subject to leveraged lease financings, neither the lease obligations nor the certificates are reflected as debt on the balance sheets of either US Airways Group or US Airways.

Pilots, flight attendants, and ground and maintenance employees will continue to work under terms of transition agreements reached after the merger and/or the terms of their respective collective bargaining agreements.

A copy of the Company's press release regarding the receipt of single FAA certification is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

US Airways Receives Single FAA Certification
One FAA operating certificate marks significant integration milestone

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 26  -- The new US Airways (NYSE: LCC) -- the result of a merger between America West and US Airways two years ago -- officially became one airline in the eyes of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today as the FAA granted the airline a single operating certificate.

"This is a very important milestone, reflecting two years of hard work combining and refining two sets of policies, procedures, manuals, checklists and computer systems for virtually every area of the airline," said US Airways Chairman and CEO Doug Parker. "Achieving an integration of this magnitude in just 24 months is unheard of in the airline industry and a fantastic result."

Senior Vice President of Technical Operations, Hal Heule, who led the effort, congratulated the Operations and I.T. teams and thanked the FAA for their guidance, oversight and support. "This very complex process proceeded on time, smoothly, and was a testament to cooperation between our work groups and regulators. I'm very proud of this team and the important work they accomplished here," Heule said.

Work toward a single certificate began shortly after the merger of US Airways and America West on Sept. 27, 2005. It involved integrating into one the separate airlines' information technology systems and flight operations computer systems, airport, maintenance and on-board policies and procedures. The certification became official after the integration of the airlines' flight operations systems this week.

Though transparent to US Airways' customers, achieving the single certificate allows the airline to operate as one US Airways with one set of policies, procedures, computer systems, maintenance and flight control systems. The next step in the airline's integration is to achieve single contracts with pilots, flight attendants, and ground and maintenance employees, who will continue to work under terms of transition agreements reached after the merger.

US Airways is the fifth largest domestic airline employing more than 36,000 aviation professionals worldwide. US Airways, US Airways Shuttle and US Airways Express operate approximately 3,800 flights per day and serve more than 230 communities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. The new US Airways -- the product of a merger between America West and US Airways in September 2005 -- is a member of the Star Alliance, which provides connections for our customers to 855 destinations in 155 countries worldwide.
