FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

US AIRWAYS GROUP, INC. REPORTS OCTOBER TRAFFIC

     TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 5, 2007 — US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE: LCC) today reported October and year-to-date traffic results for 2007. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs) for the month were 4.9 billion, down 1.5 percent from October 2006. Capacity was 6.1 billion available seat miles (ASMs), down 5.5 percent from October 2006. Passenger load factor set a record for the month of October at 80.5 percent, up 3.3 points versus October 2006.

     “Our October consolidated (mainline and Express) passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) was up between five and seven percent on a year-over-year basis. As we face record-high energy prices, we remain optimistic that the industry will maintain its level of capacity discipline going forward,” said US Airways President Scott Kirby.

     For the month of October 2007, US Airways’ mainline domestic on-time performance was 75.7 percent with a completion factor of 99.2 percent.

     The following summarizes US Airways Group’s traffic results for the month and year-to-date ended October 2007 and 2006, consisting of America West and US Airways mainline operated flights as well as US Airways Express operated flights consisting of wholly owned subsidiaries PSA Airlines and Piedmont Airlines.
