                     Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrator and Participants
USAir Inc. Employee Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets
available for plan benefits of the USAir, Inc. Employee Savings
Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the year 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
audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules 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 supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit 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


(1)  Description of Plan

     The following brief description of the USAir, Inc. Employee
     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).  The Plan
          was established on January 1, 1993 for certain employ-
          ees of USAir, Inc. (USAir or the Company).  All non-
          contract and certain union employees who are at least
          18 years of age, have completed 90 days of service and
          are not covered by another 401(k) plan sponsored by
          USAir, except for those individuals not covered by the
          United States income tax laws, are eligible to partici-
          pate in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provi-
          sions 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 not
          less than one percent nor more than 13 percent of a
          participant's compensation.  Compensation includes base
          pay, overtime, bonuses, shift premiums and shift dif-
          ferentials, up to the Section 401(a)(17) limit of the
          Internal Revenue Code.  The statutory limit for pre-tax
          contributions was $8,994 for 1993.

          The Company will make a matching contribution to the
          Plan in an amount equal to 50% of a participants con-
          tribution up to a limit of two percent of his/her
          compensation.

          The Company will also make a profit-sharing contribu-
          tion to the Plan on behalf of each participant in an
          amount equal to a certain percentage based on the
          profit margin of USAir Group, Inc.  No profit-sharing
          contributions were made during the year ended Decem-
          ber 31, 1993.

     (c)  Vesting
     
          Employer contributions are 100% vested after the par-
          ticipant has completed two years of service; all other
          contributions are fully vested at all times.
                                 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 certain in-
          vestment related administrative expenses.  Participants
          are allocated a share of each fund's net investment
          earnings based upon their account balance as a percent-
          age of the total fund balance.  Net investment earnings
          are allocated to participants.  

     (e)  Loans and Hardship Withdrawals

          All participants can borrow against their contributions
          to 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 the lesser of $50,000 (reduced by
          outstanding loan balances from any other plan main-
          tained by the Company) or 50 percent of the partici-
          pant's separate account balance 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.  The normal form of benefit payment is joint and
          survivor annuity if married and life annuity if single. 
          Other options include ten year certain and continuous
          and lump sum.  If the balance due to the participant or
          beneficiary is less than $3,500, a lump sum distribu-
          tion is automatic upon separation.
                                 5

<PAGE>
     (g)  Forfeitures

          Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested
          accounts are applied against future employer contribu-
          tions.

     (h)  Administrative Expenses

          Most administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by
          USAir, Inc.

(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. 

     (b)  Investments

          The assets of the Plan are maintained in a master trust
          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 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 finan-
          cial statements and a master trust filing is not re-
          quired.  The trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Compa-
          ny, 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 as-
          sets.  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 appreci-
          ation (depreciation) in the fair value of its invest-
          ments which consists of the realized gains or losses
          and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
          investments.  The Plan's investments in guaranteed
          investment contracts (GICs) are stated at contract
          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 is $10,728,484 at
     December 31, 1993.

(5)  Transfer from the 401(k) Plan

     The Company also sponsors the USAir, Inc. 401(k) Savings
     Plan (the 401(k) Plan).  Prior to 1993, all employees were
     eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan.  Effective
     January 1, 1993, the balances of all non-contract and cer-
     tain union employees previously participating in the 401(k)
     Plan were transferred into the Plan, including loans receiv-
     able.  

(6)  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 Code and is
     therefore believed to be exempt from federal income taxes.

(7)  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.
