US Airways completed arrangements today for $404 million in financing involving previously unencumbered aircraft and engines.

In its third quarter financial earnings press release, US Airways said it expected to end the year with $800 million to $900 million in liquidity. With the deferral by the U.S. government of payment of excise taxes until Jan. 15, 2002, US Airways now expects to close the year with liquidity in excess of $1 billion.
