FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

US AIRWAYS GROUP, INC. REPORTS JUNE TRAFFIC

TEMPE, Ariz., July 7, 2008 — US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE: LCC) today reported June, second quarter and year-to-date 2008 traffic results. Mainline revenue passenger miles (RPMs) for the month were 5.7 billion, down 0.5 percent from June 2007. Capacity was 6.7 billion available seat miles (ASMs), up 0.4 percent versus June 2007. Passenger load factor for the month of June was 85.0 percent, down 0.8 points versus June 2007.

US Airways President Scott Kirby said, “June consolidated (mainline and Express) passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increased between two and four percent versus the same period last year. As we progress through the busy summer travel season, we continue to see strength in our forward bookings. We are also encouraged to see that the industry is taking the appropriate steps with further domestic capacity reductions and implementing a la carte pricing models to help offset this dramatic and unprecedented rise in fuel expense.”

For the month of June US Airways’ preliminary on-time performance as measured by the DOT was 76.3 percent, with a completion factor of 98.1 percent.

The following summarizes US Airways Group’s traffic results for the month, quarter and year-to-date ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, consisting of mainline operated flights as well as US Airways Express flights operated by wholly owned subsidiaries PSA Airlines and Piedmont Airlines.
