The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 7.25 percent per annum, and are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes. The initial conversion rate for the notes is 218.8184 shares of US Airways common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $4.57 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Upon conversion, US Airways will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof at its election, in respect of the conversion value. Holders of the notes have the right to require US Airways to repurchase for cash all or some of their notes upon the occurrence of certain events. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of US Airways’ other existing and future senior unsecured debt.
