USAIR STATEMENT
ARLINGTON, Va., January 28 -- USAir issued the
following statement on the resignation of the three
British Airways directors from the USAir board:
The resignation of British Airways' directors
clears another obstacle in USAir's path toward becoming
an effective competitor in the U.S.-U.K. market.
In its lawsuit against British Airways and in
its regulatory filings, USAir has said consistently that
it must be free of entanglement with BA. This is one of
the steps necessary to enable USAir to provide
competitive balance to the proposed alliance between the
British carrier and American Airlines.
In response, British Airways now has said that
it intends to sell its USAir stock and that its
representatives have resigned from the USAir board. But
competition is not yet assured. USAir will continue its
drive to obtain the necessary routes, slot and ground
facilities to compete between its international gateways
at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Charlotte and Boston and
London's Heathrow Airport.
USAir also said it will continue to pursue its
lawsuit against British Airways and American Airlines
pending in federal district court in New York. In the
suit, USAir said British Airways has breached its
contract with USAir and that BA and American Airlines
have violated antitrust laws.
