US Airways has been awarded a conditional USD900m loan guarantee from the Bush Administration.

The airline must secure labour and other concessions and offer the government a large stake in its business as collateral in order to obtain the USD900m guarantee of a USD1bn loan.

The Air Transportation Stabilisation Board - created to financially help struggling airlines after the 11 September terrorist attacks - approved the loan as it feels the airline will be able to repay the amount.
