<p>With a stake in USAir, British Airways boosts its global air
power
</p>
<p> For executives at British Airways and USAir, it must have
been a bit like waiting in an airport for a long-delayed flight
to take off. After a dizzying series of starts and stalls dating
back to last year, the U.S. Transportation Department finally
approved cash-hungry USAir's sale of a $300 million stake, or
20% of the airline, to British Air. The move came over the
objections of USAir's Big Three rivals--United, Delta and
American--who claim the deal will give British Air an edge in
a new era of global air competition. American's chairman, Robert
Crandall, complained that Washington was giving up a piece of
the U.S. pie without getting anything in return--such as a
bigger share of Britain's market.
