   UAL CORPORATION EXPLORING POSSIBLE ACQUISITION OF USAIR

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     CHICAGO, October 2, 1995 -- UAL Corporation today confirmed
that is conducting an evaluation of USAir to determine whether
UAL should submit a proposal to acquire USAir's business and
operations.
     The potential synergies from a combination of routes and
operations is intriguing, UAL said.  Both companies have complex
ownership and operating structures, and it will take some work to
see whether a proposal that is advantageous to UAL stockholders,
and ultimately, USAir stockholders, can be developed.
     There can be no assurances that UAL Corporation will submit
any proposal to USAir, or, if submitted, as to the terms and
conditions of any such proposal, or that any transaction will be
consummated.
     UAL does not expect to make any further announcements unless
a tentative agreement is signed or the company decides to
terminate discussions.
