America West Airlines 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure

Exhibit 99.1

INVESTOR RELATIONS UPDATE
April 26, 2007

General Comments

•	Accounting Allocations— Express CASM excluding fuel has been revised upward by 3% per quarter due to accounting allocations within Express and between Mainline and Express. These allocations include fuel transportation expenses previously reported in the Express fuel expense line item to other Express operating expenses, and certain operating expenses previously booked to Mainline to the Express carriers (i.e., workers compensation, commissions, reservations costs, etc.). These allocations have no impact on overall US Airways Group profitability as they are simply transfers between Mainline and Express. Absent these allocations, Mainline expense estimates would have been 1% higher each quarter.
•	Profit Sharing / CASM —Profit sharing equals 10% of pre-tax earnings excluding transition expenses and special items up to a 10% pre-tax margin and 15% above the 10% margin. Profit sharing is included in the CASM guidance given below.
•	Cargo / Other Revenue —Cargo / Other Revenue includes: cargo revenue, ticket change fees, excess/overweight baggage fees, contract services, simulator rental, airport clubs, Materials Service Corporation (MSC), and inflight service revenues.
•	Fuel —US Airways uses costless collars on Heating Oil Futures as a fuel-hedging vehicle. For Q207, the Company has 60% of its mainline fuel hedged, and expects to pay between $2.16 and $2.21 per gallon of jet fuel (including taxes and hedges). The weighted average collar range of the hedges in place is between $1.81 and $2.01 per gallon of heating oil, or between $64.12 and $72.52 per barrel of crude oil. Forecasted volume, fuel prices, hedge percentages, and equivalent price per barrel of crude oil are provided in the table below.
•	Taxes / NOLs —As of December 31, 2006, US Airways and America West had a total of approximately $980 million of net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) to reduce future taxable income. Of this amount approximately $795 million is available to reduce federal taxable income in the calendar year 2007. The Company’s deferred tax asset, which includes the $795 million of NOL discussed above, has been subject to a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2006, that valuation allowance was approximately $260 million.
	In the first quarter of 2007, the Company used federal NOL to reduce its income tax obligation. Utilization of this NOL results in a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, as this valuation was established through the recognition of tax expense, the decrease in the valuation allowance offsets the Company’s tax provision dollar for dollar.
	The Company recorded $3 million of tax provision in the first quarter of 2007, which included $1 million of Alternative Minimum Tax liability (“AMT”) expense and $2 million of state tax expense.
	The Company expects to be subject to AMT for the full year 2007. In most cases the recognition of AMT does not result in tax expense. However, since the Company’s net deferred tax asset is subject to a full valuation allowance, any liability for AMT is recorded as tax expense.
	In the first quarter of 2007, US Airways utilized state NOL that was generated by US Airways prior to the merger. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, as this was acquired NOL, the decrease in the valuation allowance reduced goodwill instead of the provision for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1 million of non-cash state income tax expense in quarter. The Company also recorded $1 million of state income tax related to certain states where NOLs were not available to be used, in the first quarter of 2007.
	The Company expects to continue to use NOL to reduce taxable income in 2007. In Q207 and Q307, the Company expects the reversal of AWA’s remaining federal valuation allowance, which was established through the recognition of tax expense, will offset any income tax expense recognized. In Q407 the Company expects to recognize non-cash tax expense associated with the use of NOL, as the balance of valuation allowance should be reduced to zero.
	Current estimates of the Company’s 2007 obligation for AMT liability and to record and pay certain state income tax are less than $5 million per quarter.
•	Share Count —At the end of Q107, the Company had 91.4 million basic, and 93.2 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Both basic and diluted shares guidance is provided in the table below.
•	Cash —At the end of Q107, the Company had approximately $3.3 billion in total cash, of which $2.5 billion was unrestricted.

MAINLINE UPDATE
April 26, 2007

Mainline General Comments

• Mainline data includes both US Airways and America West Airlines operated flights. All operating expenses are for mainline operated flights only. Please refer to the following page for information pertaining to Express.

• As a result of industry conditions, we have modestly reduced capacity for the remainder of the year, through a combination of lower utilization flying in the summer and returning aircraft to lessors as leases expire during the second half of 2007. Correspondingly, CASM guidance has been increased slightly to reflect the ASM reductions, as well as additional spending planned during the summer months to improve our operations.

GAAP to Non-GAAP RECONCILIATION
April 26, 2007

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information

US Airways Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding special items, which is more indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. The Company believes that the presentation of mainline CASM excluding fuel, special items & transition expense and Express CASM excluding fuel is useful to investors as both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors beyond the Company’s control.

This update contains forward-looking statements that are not limited to historical facts, but reflect the Company’s current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. For examples of such risks and uncertainties, please see the risk factors set forth in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and its other securities filings, including any amendments thereto, which identify important matters such as the consequences of fuel, labor costs, competition, and industry conditions, including the demand for air travel, the airline pricing environment and industry capacity decisions, regulatory matters and the seasonal nature of the airline business. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this update.
