                       S-1 Registration Statement Filed


     HERNDON, VIRGINIA, APRIL 7, 1995 - WorldCorp (NYSE:WOA) announced that its 
majority-owned subsidiary, US Order, Inc., yesterday filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 to register 
3,500,000 shares (exclusive of the underwriters' over-allotment option) of US 
Order's common stock, par value $.001 per share. Of the 3,500,000 shares to be 
registered, 2,800,000 are being issued and sold by US Order, and 700,000 shares 
are being sold by WorldCorp. If the sale is successfully completed, WorldCorp, 
which currently owns 89% of US Order shares, would use proceeds from the sale to
reduce debt and would own 67% of US Order after a completed offering. 
Approximately 14.6 million shares of US Order common stock will be outstanding 
after the offering.

     US Order announced that Salomon Brothers Inc., First Albany Corporation and
L.H. Friend, Weinress, Frankson & Presson, Inc. will be the managing 
underwriters. Sales to the public are anticipated to commence in mid-June 1995.

     A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These 
securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time 
the registration statement becomes effective. This release does not constitute 
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any 
sale of these securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale 
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities 
laws of any such State.

     A written prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained by writing to
Alex Valentin, Salomon Brothers Inc., 140 58th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11220
or by telephoning Salomon Brothers, Inc. at (718)567-2246.

     WorldCorp owns majority positions in companies that operate in two distinct
business areas: transaction processing (through US Order), and air 
transportation (through World Airways). Knight Ridder (NYSE:KRI) is an equity 
investor in US Order. MHS Berhad of Malaysia (KLSE:MHS) is an equity investor in
World Airways.
