PRNewswire-FirstCall ARLINGTON, Va. Oct. 17 :

US Airways today filed an application with the U.S. Department of
Transportation for route authority to operate new nonstop roundtrip
service to Glasgow, Scotland, from its Philadelphia hub.

US Airways is seeking approval to begin seasonal summer service in May

operate daily flights through the end of October 2004. Service on the new
route will be flown using Boeing 767-200 aircraft, offering seating for
199 passengers with 23 seats in Envoy Class and 176 seats in Coach Class.

“Scotland will mark our third destination in the U.K., as well as our
eleventh European route from our primary international gateway
Philadelphia,” said Douglas D. Leo, US Airways vice
president-international. “We are excited to bring new service to Glasgow
in time for the 2004 British Open at the nearby Royal Troon Golf Club.”

Customers traveling on this new service will have convenient connections
from Philadelphia to over 45 destinations in the U.S., Canada and the
Caribbean.
