                    Independent Auditors' Report

The Plan Administrator and Participants
USAir, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets avail-
able for plan benefits of the USAir, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets avail-
able for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental sched-
ules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31,
1993 and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31,
1993 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemen-
tal schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                 Notes to Financial Statements
                 -----------------------------

                  December 31, 1993 and 1992



(1)     Description of Plan

        The following brief description of the USAir, Inc. 401(k)
        Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information
        purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan docu-
        ment for more complete information.

        (a)    General

               The Plan is a defined contribution plan intended to be
               a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section
               401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
               Code) and to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. 
               All permanent employees of USAir, Inc. (USAir or the
               Company), with at least three months of service, are
               eligible to participate except for those individuals
               not covered under the United States income tax laws and
               those individuals who are participants in another
               401(k) plan sponsored by USAir.  The Plan is subject to
               the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Act of
               1974 (ERISA).

        (b)    Plan Contributions

               USAir employees electing to participate in the Plan
               make contributions to the Plan via payroll deductions. 
               The amount of contribution that may be made by a par-
               ticipant to the Plan shall be a whole percentage of a
               participant's compensation.  Compensation includes base
               pay, overtime, shift premiums and shift differentials,
               up to a limit of $200,000, as adjusted by Section
               401(a)(17) of the Code.  The percentage of compensation
               contributed may not exceed 15 percent if the partici-
               pant's compensation for the preceding year was less
               than $50,000, as adjusted by Section 414(q)(1) of the
               Code.  If the preceding year's compensation was greater
               than $50,000, as adjusted by Section 414(q)(1) of the
               Code, the percentage may not exceed eight percent. 
               Contributions for 1993 and 1992 could not exceed the
               statutory limits of $8,994 and $8,728, respectively. 
               The Plan does not provide for any employer contribu-
               tions.


        (c)    Vesting

               Participants are immediately vested in their contribu-
               tions plus earnings thereon.
                                 4
<PAGE>
        (d)    Investment Options

               The Company selects the number and type of investment
               options available.  The investment options are held and
               administered as separate, common funds by Fidelity
               Investments.

               Each participant elects the percentage, in increments
               of five percent, in which his/her account balance is
               invested in the various investment funds.  The partici-
               pant may transfer his/her investments from one invest-
               ment fund to another investment fund.

               A separate account is established and maintained in the
               name of each participant and reflects the participant's
               contributions invested in, and the earnings and losses
               attributed to, each investment fund less administrative
               expenses.  Participants are allocated a share of each
               fund's net investment earnings based upon their account
               balance as a percentage of the total fund balance.  Net
               investment earnings are allocated to participants on a
               monthly basis.

        (e)    Loans and Hardship Withdrawals

               All participants can borrow from their account but may
               have only one loan outstanding at a given point in
               time.  Loans are to be repaid, with interest, within
               five years unless the loan is used by the participant
               to acquire a principal residence.  Loans are limited to
               50 percent of the participant's separate account bal-
               ance as of the date of the loan.

               Upon approval from the Company, a participant may
               withdraw his or her contributions from the account if
               it is determined that the withdrawal is necessary to
               meet an immediate and heavy financial need of the
               participant under the deemed hardship standards set
               forth in the Code.

        (f)    Distributions

               Distribution to a participant or beneficiary is made as
               soon as reasonably practicable after the participant's
               separation from service with the Company due to death,
               disability, retirement, or other termination of employ-
               ment.  If the balance due to the participant is greater
               than $3,500, the distribution can be deferred until age
               65 or provided in cash as a lump sum distribution.  If
               the balance due to the participant or beneficiary is
               less than $3,500, a lump sum distribution is automatic
               upon separation.
                                 5
<PAGE>
        (g)    Administrative Expenses

               Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by
               USAir.

(2)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        (a)    Basis of Presentation

               The accompanying financial statements have been pre-
               pared on an accrual basis and present the net assets
               available for plan benefits and changes in those net
               assets.

               Certain amounts in the 1992 financial statements have
               been reclassified to conform with the current year's
               presentation.

        (b)    Investments

               The assets of the Plan are maintained in a master trust
               arrangement with the assets of other defined contribu-
               tion plans sponsored by USAir.  The individual assets
               of each plan constitute individual master trust invest-
               ment accounts.  Form 5500 instructions provide that
               plan assets held in this type of arrangement need not
               be presented as investments in a master trust.  As a
               result, investment assets are classified by type of
               asset in these financial statements and a master trust
               filing is not required.  The trustee, Fidelity Manage-
               ment Trust Company, maintains the master trust under
               the terms of an agreement with the Plan.  The Plan's
               share of assets and changes in its share of the master
               trust have been reported to the Plan by the trustee as
               having been determined through the use of fair values
               of all assets.  Fair values for assets were determined
               by quoted market values, when available.  The Plan
               presents in the statement of changes in net assets the
               net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
               its investments which consists of the realized gains or
               losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
               on those investments.  The Plan's investments in guar-
               anteed investment contracts (GICs) are stated at con-
               tract value.  Purchases and sales of investments are
               recorded on a trade-date basis.

(4)     Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Plan's assets include certain investments in GICs.  The
        issuers of the GICs are all insurance companies.  The Plan's
        ultimate realization of amounts invested in GICs is depen-
        dent on the continued financial stability of the insurance
        companies that are issuers of the GICs.  The Plan's benefi-
        cial interest in amounts invested in GICs was $18,784,388
        and $20,366,459 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

(5)     Federal Tax Status

        Although the Plan has not requested a letter of determina-
        tion from the Internal Revenue Service as to its qualifica-
        tion, the Company and its general counsel believe the Plan
        meets the requirement of Section 401(a) of the Internal
        Revenue Code, as amended.  The Plan is therefore believed to
        be exempt from federal income taxes.

(6)     Plan Termination

        The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any
        time.  Upon termination of the Plan, the following actions
        shall be taken for the benefit of participants:

        (a)    As of the termination date, each investment fund shall
               be valued.  In determining the net worth of the invest-
               ment funds there shall be included as a liability such
               amounts as shall be necessary to pay all expenses in
               connection with the termination of the investment funds
               and the liquidation and distribution of the property of
               the funds, as well as other expenses, whether or not
               accrued, and shall include as an asset all accrued
               income.

        (b)    All participant accounts shall then be disposed of, to,
               or for each participant in single lump-sum payments. 
               All distributions shall be made in cash.
