FMR Corp., the parent of mutual-fund company Fidelity Investments and the largest shareholder in US Airways Group Inc., has sold 32 percent of its stake in the carrier.
FMR holds almost 7.93 million shares, or 8.6 percent, according to a U.S. regulatory filing Tuesday, and remains the airline’s biggest investor. FMR had owned more than 11.7 million shares, or 12.8 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.
