US Airways says April unit revenue rose 9 percent


    (Reuters) - US Airways Group Inc said on Thursday that its unit revenue had increased about 9 percent in April from a year earlier amid higher passenger traffic.

    The airline said its load factor, which is a measure of how full airplanes are, increased 0.4 percentage point to 83 percent.
