          Crystal Park Four,
          2345, Crystal Drive,
          Arlington, 
          Virginia 22227,
          USA

          Attention:  Lawrence M. Nagin, General Counsel

          Dear Mr. Nagin,

          This letter constitutes notice, pursuant to Section 7.2
          of the Investment Agreement between USAir Group, Inc.
          ("USAir") and British Airways Plc ("BA") dated as of 21
          January 1993, as amended (the "Investment Agreement"),
          that BA's wholly-owned subsidiary, BritAir Acquisition
          Corp. Inc. ("BritAir"), intends to sell in one or more
          underwritten public offerings or privately negotiated
          transactions all of the 9,919.8 shares of Series T-2
          Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Senior Preferred
          Stock ("Series T-2 Preferred Stock") of USAir which are
          owned by BritAir.  Any such underwritten public offering
          will constitute a Permitted Offering as defined in
          Section 7.1(b) of the Investment Agreement.

          The Offer Price (as calculated pursuant to clauses
          (ii)(B) and (iii)(B) of the third sentence of Section 7.2
          of the Investment Agreement) is $10,037.88 per share of
          Series T-2 Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to Section 7.2 of
          the Investment Agreement, USAir has until 14 May, 1997 to
          give notice to BA that USAir elects to purchase the
          Series T-2 Preferred Stock as to which an Offer Price has
          been established by the letter.  If USAir fails to give
          such notice by such date, BritAir will be free to
          complete the proposed sale of the Series T-2 Preferred
          Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 of the
          Investment Agreement.

          In order to comply with the notice provisions of the
          Investment Agreement, BA is sending a copy of this letter
          to Larry Lederman at the address specified in the absence
          of a formal designation of other counsel to receive
          notices as well as to Peter Atkins.

          Yours very truly

          /s/ Roger Maynard
