Terminal Construction Projects
US Airways Group uses public airports for its flight operations under lease arrangements with the government entities that own or control these airports.
Airport authorities frequently require airlines to execute long-term leases to assist in obtaining financing for terminal and facility construction. Any future
requirements for new or improved airport facilities and passenger terminals at airports in which US Airways Group's airline subsidiaries operate could result
in additional occupancy costs and long-term commitments. 31
