Fourteen Aircraft Will Operate Under The Regional Carrier's
Banner
SkyWest Airlines and US Airways announced Thursday that the two
airlines have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for 14 aircraft to
operate as US Airways Express. The agreement, which is subject to
approval by the respective Board of Directors for both SkyWest
Airlines and US Airways, further diversifies the SkyWest Airlines
flying portfolio and provides US Airways customers with SkyWest
Airlines' quality and reliability.
"We are pleased to add US Airways to SkyWest Airlines' strong
partner portfolio," said Russell "Chip" Childs, SkyWest Airlines'
President and COO. "SkyWest's people have done incredible work to
provide a reliable, efficient product, and we look forward to
offering that quality to US Airways customers."
Once finalized, the three-year agreement provides flying as US
Airways Express for 14 50-passenger Bombardier CRJ200 regional jet
aircraft with options to up gauge to larger CRJ700 aircraft,
replacing the CRJ200 and Dash8 Express service currently provided
to US Airways in the Phoenix hub by Mesa Airlines. SkyWest Airlines
service as US Airways Express is anticipated to begin early to
mid-2012 and it is anticipated that the aircraft will be allocated
from SkyWest's existing fleet. SkyWest will be compensated in
similar fashion to its existing capacity purchase agreements with
other major codeshare partners. Details of the agreement are being
finalized and are subject to approval by both entities' Board of
Directors.
