European plane maker Airbus said on Monday U.S. carrier US Airways, which last month emerged from bankruptcy, will replace an existing order for 19 of its planes with one for 10 Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

The new order - worth $1.43 billion based on list prices - replaces a prior US Airways order for one A330-300 plane, three A319 planes and 15 A320 planes, Airbus said. The prior order was worth $1.22 billion based on list prices.
