US Airways Brings Barbados to Philadelphia Four Times a Week Beginning This Fall

Senior Vice President, East Coast, International and Cargo Operations Suzanne Boda said, "Barbados is a wonderful Caribbean destination and we're thrilled to expand our selection to it from our hub and international gateway in Philadelphia. These offerings will allow for great connections at Philadelphia and will be a fitting addition to existing Barbados service from our largest hub in Charlotte, N.C."

"We are very excited to once again have increased US Airways service from Philadelphia to Barbados," said David M. Rice, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Tourism Authority. "We're looking forward to bringing more visitors to Barbados from the important U.S. market."

The flying will go on sale this Sunday, July 12, and will be operated by Airbus A319 aircraft with 12 seats in First Class and 112 in the main cabin.
