Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On March 24, 2006, America West Holdings Corporation gave notice to the holders of its 7.5% convertible senior notes that it was redeeming the notes in full, at a redemption price of 102.50% of the principal amount of the notes, as required under the terms of the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of redemption. The redemption price, plus the relevant interest, was $1,052.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, and the redemption date was April 13, 2006. Holders had the right, at any time at or prior to the close of business on April 11, 2006, the date that was two business days prior to the redemption date, to convert the notes into shares of the common stock of US Airways Group at a price of $29.09 per share, or 34.376 shares per $1,000 principal amount. Holders who converted also received interest up to the date of conversion. As of April 11, 2006, a total of $112,298,017 in principal amount of the notes was converted into shares of common stock, resulting in the issuance of 3,860,358 shares of common stock. The issuance of US Airways Group common stock to the holders of the notes was made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On April 17, 2006, US Airways Group issued a press release announcing the results of the redemption. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
