Seabury APG Client, Philadelphia International Airport, to receive its 12th European Destination, Glasgow, in May 2004

PHILADELPHIA, October 17, 2003 - US Airways filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation on October 17, 2003 for route authority to operate new nonstop roundtrip service to Glasgow, Scotland, from its Philadelphia hub.

US Airways is seeking approval to begin seasonal summer service in May 2004. Subject to U.S. and U.K. government approvals, US Airways will operate daily flights through the end of October 2004. Service on the new route will be flown using Boeing 767-200 aircraft, offering seating for 199 passengers with 23 seats in Envoy Class and 176 seats in Coach Class.

"Scotland will mark our third destination in the U.K., as well as our eleventh European route from our primary international gateway Philadelphia," said Douglas D. Leo, US Airways vice president-international. "We are excited to bring new service to Glasgow in time for the 2004 British Open at the nearby Royal Troon Golf Club."

Customers traveling on this new service will have convenient connections from Philadelphia to over 45 destinations in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

US Airways is the nation’s seventh-largest airline, serving nearly 200 communities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. Most of its route network is concentrated in the eastern U.S., where it is the largest air carrier east of the Mississippi. US Airways’ European destinations are Amsterdam, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, Paris, Rome and Shannon.

Seabury APG is the sole provider of air service development strategies to Philadelphia International Airport, and has been working with the airport since July of 2002.
