/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US Airways announced today that, as part
of its Transformation Plan, it will discontinue nonstop service
from Pittsburgh on 20 routes operated either by US Airways or US
Airways' wholly owned and affiliate Express carriers, beginning in
November. Nonetheless, the company will keep nonstop service to
more than 50 markets, in particular 28 of the top 30 markets, and
will remain the airport's largest carrier. The full details of the
fall schedule, which still are being developed, will be available
in early September. However, the following routes will be
discontinued from Pittsburgh beginning Nov. 7, 2004. Additionally,
further cuts are possible on the US Airways Express network since
