US Airways became the first and only major carrier to charge up to $2 for pop, juice, bottled water and coffee last August.
The airline will continue charging for other a la carte items, such as checking bags, choice seats in coach, blankets and pillows.
In a memo to employees, Chief Executive Doug Parker says the free drink service will resume in March. The airline was planning to announce the change Monday.
Other airlines have instituted new fees for things like checked bags and pillows. But US Airways was the only carrier to charge for non-alcoholic beverages.
