                           Independent Auditors' Report

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of
the USAir, Inc. 401 (k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, 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 available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1992 and
1991, 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 schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of
December 31, 1992 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but is 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 schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                               -----------------------------

                                 December 31, 1992 and 1991


(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 document 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 employees of USAir,
            Inc. (USAir or the Company) are eligible to participate except for those individuals
            not covered under the United States income tax laws or those individuals who are
            participants in another 401(k) plan.  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
            participant 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.  The percentage of compensation contributed may not exceed
            15 percent if the participant's compensation for the preceding year was less than
            $50,000.  If the preceding year's compensation was greater than $50,000, the
            percentage may not exceed 5 percent.  Contributions for 1992 and 1991 could not
            exceed the statutory limits of $8,728 and $8,475, respectively.  The Plan does not
            provide for any employer contributions.

      (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 10 percent, in which his/her
            account balance is invested in the various investment funds.  The participant may
            transfer his/her investments from one investment 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.  Participants are immediately vested in
            their contributions plus earnings thereon.

      (d)   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 balance as of
            the date of the loan.

            Upon approval from the Company, a participant may withdraw his or her contribu-
            tions 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.

      (e)   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,
            retirement, or other termination of employment.  The distribution can be deferred
            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.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)   Basis of Presentation

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

      (b)   Master Trust

            The assets of the Plan were maintained in a master trust with the assets of another
            defined contribution plan sponsored by USAir, Inc.  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.

(4)   Concentration of Credit Risk

      The Plan's beneficial interest in the master trust includes certain investments in guaranteed
      investment contracts (GICs).  The issuers of the GICs are all insurance companies.  The
      Plan's ultimate realization of amounts invested in GICs is dependent on the continued
      financial stability of the insurance companies that are issuers of the GICs.  The Plan's
      beneficial interest in amounts invested in GICs is $20,366,459 and $14,311,528 at Decem-
      ber 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(5)   Federal Tax Status

      Although the Plan has not requested a letter of determination from the Internal Revenue
      Service as to its qualification, the Company and its general counsel believe the Plan meets
      the requirement of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and 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 investment 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.
