Exhibit 99
Stephen M. Wolf Elected USAir Chairman
ARLINGTON, VA. JANUARY 16, 1996 -- The USAir Group Board of
Directors today elected Stephen M. Wolf as chairman and chief
executive of the airline holding company and USAir, Inc., effective
Jan. 22.
He succeeds USAir Chairman and CEO Seth E. Schofield, who last
September announced his decision to retire after 38 years with the
airline. Schofield agreed to stay on until a successor was in
place.
Wolf, 54, is a highly respected aviation leader who trans-
formed United Airlines into one of the world's pre-eminent
carriers. He served as UAL Corp.'s chairman and chief executive
officer from 1987 - 1994. Wolf currently serves as senior advisor
to Lazard Freres & Co.
Mathias J. DeVito, USAir director and chairman of the Board's
special search committee, said, "We are very pleased that an
airline executive of Steve Wolf's abilities has agreed to join
USAir. He has clearly demonstrated his ability to lead a major
carrier and to add shareholder value in past executive positions.
We look forward to his doing the same here at USAir."
Schofield added that "Steve is unquestionably one of the most
knowledgeable and successful CEOs in our industry. He is ideally
suited to carry on the restructuring of USAir to successfully meet
the many challenges facing the company."
Wolf said, "I have long viewed USAir as an airline with
tremendous potential and I eagerly look forward to joining the
42,000 employees of USAir in building the company for the future."
Wolf serves as a member of the boards of directors of R.R.
Donnelley & Sons Co. and Philip Morris Companies. He is also a
trustee of Northwestern University and Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's
Medical Center. In addition, he serves on the board of directors
for the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association.
He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from San Francisco
State University. Wolf and his wife, Delores, reside in Middle-
burg, Va.
Editors note: Mr. Wolf said he would defer any further comment
about his new appointment until after he has had the opportunity to
meet with USAir's employees.
