The Plan became effective on September 27, 2005 and US Airways and its parent Company, US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways Group), emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. In connection with its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, US Airways adopted fresh-start reporting pursuant to Statement of Position90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code” as of September 27, 2005.
