ITEM 2.06. Material Impairments.

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the second quarter of 2008, US Airways Group, Inc. and US Airways, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) anticipate that for the second quarter of 2008 they will report non-cash accounting charges. The Company, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, recently performed an interim period goodwill impairment test due to record high fuel prices that have adversely impacted the Company’s business. As a result of this impairment test, the Company will include a $622 million non-cash charge to write off the goodwill that the Company currently has recorded on its balance sheet and that was created by the merger of US Airways Group, Inc. and America West Holdings Corporation in September of 2005.  In addition, the Company anticipates that it will also report a non-cash accounting charge of approximately $18 million related to the decline in fair market value of certain spare parts associated with its Boeing 737 aircraft fleet.

The Company also anticipates it will record additional accounting charges in future quarters related to its capacity reductions, including severance and costs associated with fleet reductions.  At this time the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of these charges.
