statistics  include  free  frequent  travelers  and  the  related miles flown.
Financial  statistics  exclude  the  revenue and expense (which amounts net to

lease  amounts  of  $12.6  million,  $16.2 million and $47.6 million have been
excluded  from  year-to-date  results for 1996, third quarter results for 1995
and  year-to-date  results  for  1995, respectively, from both Other Operating
Revenues  and  Other  Operating  Expenses  for purposes of financial statistic
calculation.    No non-recurring items are included in USAir's results for the
third  quarter of 1996, the third quarter of 1995 or for the first nine months
of  1995.    USAir's  year-to-date  1996 results include non-recurring expense
credits  of  $29.5  million  related  to  its  non-operating BAe-146 aircraft.

            of  capacity).

Note  4.    Percentage of aircraft seating capacity that is actually utilized
            (RPMs/ASMs).

Note  5.    Percentage of aircraft seating capacity that must be utilized,
            based  on  fares  in  effect during the period, for USAir to break
            even at the pretax  income  level.

Note  6.    Passenger Transportation revenue divided by ASMs (a measure of
            unit  revenue).

Note  7.    Total  Operating Revenues divided by ASMs (a measure of unit
            revenue).

Note  8.     Total Operating Expenses divided by ASMs (a measure of unit cost).

Note  9.    Passenger Transportation revenue divided by RPMs (a measure of
            unit  revenue).
