US Airways performed the annual impairment test on its international route authorities during the fourth quarter of 2010. The fair
values of international route authorities were assessed using the market approach. The market approach took into consideration relevant
supply and demand factors at the related airport locations as well as available market sale and lease data. As a result of US Airways'
annual impairment test on international route authorities, no impairment was indicated. In 2009, US Airways recorded $16 million in
non-cash impairment charges related to the decline in fair value of certain international routes.
7. Employee Pension and Benefit Plans
