NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAMES

On February 27, 2004, US Airways, Inc. requested that the Department register the trade names “US Airways Express” and “MidAtlantic Airways” for use in certain of its air transportation operations.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations provides that any carrier wishing to use an alternative trade name must first register that name with the Department.  The rule further states that the Department may register such trade name after the carrier gives notification to similarly named carriers of the proposed use of the trade name.  There are no other similarly named air carriers.

Under these circumstances, on March 3, 2004, we orally acknowledged the registration of the trade names “US Airways Express” and “MidAtlantic Airways” by US Airways for use in its operations.  This notice serves as written confirmation of our action.

Dated March 5, 2004 at Washington, D.C.

 	The company currently conducts operations under the trade names “US Airways,” “US Airways Shuttle,” “US Air,” and “Metrojet.”

 	MidAtlantic Airways, Inc. f/k/a Potomac Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways Group (which is also US Airways’ parent), ceased operations in October 2001, and its commuter air carrier authority was revoked in July 2003 (see Order 2003-7-38).

 	Our registration of the trade name “MidAtlantic Airways” authorizes US Airways to conduct operations using the trade name “MidAtlantic Airways;” this in no way implies that MidAtlantic Airways, Inc. f/k/a Potomac Air holds any authority to conduct air transportation.
