US Airways President Scott Kirby said, "Our year-over-year passenger
revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) has gotten progressively better during
the second quarter, and we ended the month of June with consolidated PRASM

encouraging revenue environment moving into the third quarter due, in part, to
stronger year-over-year bookings and improving yield trends."

reported as slightly down when compared to the same period for the prior year,
was slightly up on a year-over-year basis.
