Jet Service Agreements
Certain entities with which US Airways has capacity purchase agreements are considered variable interest entities. In connection with
its restructuring and emergence from bankruptcy, US Airways contracted with Air Wisconsin and Republic to purchase a significant
portion of these companies' regional jet capacity for a period of 10 years. US Airways has determined that it is not the primary
beneficiary of these variable interest entities, based on cash flow analyses. Additionally, US Airways has analyzed the arrangements with
other carriers with which US Airways has long-term capacity purchase agreements and has concluded that it is not required to consolidate
any of the entities.
