US Airways intends to pursue flight authority between Charlotte, NC, and Bogota, Colombia, when the U.S. Department of Transportation begins selecting carriers for 21 new flights to South America. "Colombia is a very attractive market for US Airways and fits perfectly into our commitment to grow our international service," said Doug Parker, US Airways' chairman and CEO. "As a rapidly growing city with a vibrant economy, Charlotte is primed for international expansion. With current service to 24 destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean, expanding our reach to South America is a logical step." Visit [http://www.usairways.com]. (JM)
