New airline
Taken from the US Airways website:
US Airways (NYSE: LCC) customers will have a new United Kingdom option and their first Norwegian offering next summer when the airline inaugurates service to Birmingham and Oslo from its international gateway at Philadelphia International Airport. These new routes complement Tel Aviv service, which was announced earlier this year. The two routes are subject to foreign government approval.
Birmingham becomes the fifth United Kingdom destination US Airways serves, while Oslo is the airline's second Scandinavian destination after Stockholm, Sweden. The two seasonal routes will be operated with Boeing 757 ETOPS aircraft configured with 12 Envoy seats and 164 seats in the main cabin.
