                  Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrator and Participants
Supplemental Retirement Plan of 
Piedmont Aviation, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets avail-
able for plan benefits of the Supplemental Retirement Plan of
Piedmont Aviation, Inc. (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets avail-
able 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.

                    December 31, 1993 and 1992




(1)  Description of Plan

     The following brief description of the Supplemental Retire-
     ment Plan of Piedmont Aviation, Inc. (the Plan) is provided
     for general information purposes only.  Participants should
     refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

     (a)  General

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all
          former employees of Piedmont Aviation, Inc. (Piedmont). 
          In November 1987, Piedmont Aviation, Inc. was acquired
          by USAir Group, Inc. (Group).  Group merged Piedmont
          into USAir, Inc. (USAir or the Company), a wholly-owned
          subsidiary of Group, in August 1989.  As part of the
          merger, the Plan was frozen as to additional contribu-
          tions effective July 31, 1989 with the exception of
          rollover contributions from the terminated Piedmont
          Aviation, Inc. Pilot Variable Annuity Trust.  The Plan
          is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     (b)  Vesting

          Participants are fully vested in their account at all
          times.  Adjustments to each account for interest,
          distributions, etc. are made at the end of each month.

     (c)  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.

                                 4

<PAGE>
          A separate account is established and maintained in the
          name of each participant and reflects the participants'
          balance invested in, and the earnings and losses at-
          tributed to, each investment fund.  Participants are
          allocated a share of each fund's net investment earn-
          ings based upon their account balance as a percentage
          of the total fund balance.  Net investment earnings are
          allocated to participants.

     (d)  Distributions

          On termination of service, a participant may elect to
          receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of
          his or her account or to apply such amount to the
          purchase of an immediate noncashable and nontransfer-
          able contract from a legal reserve life insurance
          company providing any one of several annuities (as
          elected by the participant).

     (e)  Administrative Expenses

          Substantially all of the 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 pension 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

          Most of the assets of the Plan are maintained in a
          master trust arrangement with the assets of other
          defined contribution plans sponsored by USAir.  The
          investment assets of each plan constitute individual
          master trust investment accounts.  Form 5500 instruc-
          tions 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 state-
          ments and a master trust filing is not required. 

                                 5



<PAGE>
          The trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Company, main-
          tains 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's investments in
          guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) are stated at
          contract value.  The Plan presents in the statement of
          changes in net assets the net appreciation (deprecia-
          tion) in the fair value of its investments which con-
          sists of the realized gains or losses and the unreal-
          ized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. 
          Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a
          trade-date basis.

          The Plan's investments in a pooled separate account are
          carried at fair value as determined by Aetna Life
          Insurance Company (Aetna).

(4)  Concentration of Credit Risk

     The Plan's assets include certain investments in GICs pur-
     chased from insurance companies.  The Plan's ultimate real-
     ization of amounts invested in GICs is dependent on the
     continued financial stability of the insurance companies
     that issued all of the GICs.  The total amount invested in
     the GICs at December 31, 1993 and 1992 is $23,588,072 and
     $36,542,780, respectively.

(5)  Tax Status

     The Internal Revenue Service issued a letter of determina-
     tion in March 1987 which stated that the Plan qualifies
     under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue
     Code.  The Plan has been amended since then.  In the opinion
     of the Plan Administrator and the Plan's legal counsel, the
     Plan has operated within the terms of the Plan and remains
     qualified under the applicable provisions of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  Accordingly, the Plan is entitled to exemp-
     tion under the provisions of Section 401(a), and no provi-
     sion for federal or state income tax has been made in the
     accompanying financial statements.

(6)  Plan Termination

     The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any
     time.  In the event of termination, all participant contri-
     butions will cease and no additional participants shall
     enter the Plan.  USAir shall provide for the assets under
     the Plan to be distributed in lump sum to the participants,
     beneficiaries or other successors in interest, the balance
     of their account at the time of termination.
