US Airways has best quarter
US Airways had a great close to the year and let's hope it continues. The company had its best ever fourth quarter operational performance. Even with 2 million customers traveling during the busy holiday season between December 22 and January 1m the airline still had their best on-time, baggage handling and departure performances. The airline also saw revenue climb 11% last month and that was more than expected.
