US Airways Group Inc., the smallest of the major U.S. full-fare carriers, is in early talks with Airbus SAS about whether the A321neo jet could be a replacement for the airline’s aging Boeing Co. 757s.
“While we can confirm we are talking to Airbus, our talks are in a very informal stage as we gather more information from them on the potential capabilities of the A321neo,” Todd Lehmacher, a US Airways spokesman, said today in an e-mail.
