US Airways has promoted Derek J. Kerr to EVP and CFO and named Brad Jensen as SVP and CIO. Both officer appointments were approved last week by the company's board of directors.

Kerr became SVP and CFO of America West Airlines in 2005, prior to its merger with US Airways. He recently led the process by which US Airways raised or secured approximately $1.2 billion in cash and payment deferrals.

Jensen joins US Airways from Southlake, Texas-based Sabre Holdings Corporation where he served as SVP/Air Services. Prior to joining Sabre, he spent 16 years with American Airlines as managing director, Schedule Planning.--Karl Greenberg
