TEMPE, Ariz. — US Airways says it will begin charging passengers extra for an aisle or window seat on some of its planes.

The new Choice Seats program, which begins May 7, will charge passengers $5 per flight for an aisle or window seat in the first several rows in coach.

President Scott Kirby told employees Wednesday that the carrier needs to find ways to offset high fuel costs that are plaguing the industry.

Passengers will be able to buy the seats online. Dividend Miles Preferred members will be offered the Choice Seats program for free.
