<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;13, 2016, SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;SkyWest&#148;) announced additional fleet transitions and contract updates designed to reduce SkyWest&#146;s long-term fleet risk and enhance its ability to respond to changing partner needs.&#160; Specifically, SkyWest&#146;s ExpressJet operation expects to transition to flying primarily dual-class aircraft in its CRJ operation by removing its CRJ200 aircraft from service over the next year.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The removal of the CRJ200 aircraft reduces ExpressJet&#146;s future required investment in its 50-seat fleet and is expected to improve the airline&#146;s operating efficiency by eliminating an aircraft type from its platform.&#160; SkyWest also announced that ExpressJet and American Airlines have agreed to place 12 dual-class CRJ700s into service under a multi-year term.&#160; These CRJ700s had been scheduled to be removed from service under a previously-disclosed early lease return arrangement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally, SkyWest and Bombardier entered into a termination agreement covering Bombardier&#146;s residual value guarantee (&#147;RVG&#148;) agreements on 76 CRJ200 aircraft owned by SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet.&#160; Bombardier agreed to pay SkyWest $90 million by January&nbsp;2017 along with certain other consideration in exchange for the release. Both the required sale of each aircraft and the cost to SkyWest of returning the aircraft to mid-time condition were points of risk and uncertainty for SkyWest that this termination agreement eliminates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of the expectation to remove ExpressJet CRJ200s from service and the Bombardier RVG termination agreement, SkyWest is evaluating its total 50-seat CRJ200 fleet and related long-lived assets for impairment in Q4 2016.&#160; SkyWest currently anticipates it will record a non-cash impairment charge in Q4 2016 estimated to be in the range of $440 million to $490 million (pre-tax) on its CRJ200 aircraft and other 50-seat aircraft assets, net of the $90 million in cash proceeds from the Bombardier termination agreement.</font></p>

Announces Additional Fleet Transitions, Bombardier Agreement and Anticipated 50-Seat Aircraft Non-Cash Impairment Charge</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">ST. GEORGE, Utah</font></b>, December&nbsp;13, 2016.&#160; SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYW) (&#147;SkyWest&#148;) announced today additional fleet transitions and contract updates designed to reduce SkyWest&#146;s long-term fleet risk and enhance its ability to respond to changing partner needs.&#160; Specifically, SkyWest&#146;s ExpressJet operation expects to transition to flying primarily dual-class aircraft in its CRJ operation by removing its CRJ200 aircraft from service over the next year.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The removal of the CRJ200 aircraft reduces ExpressJet&#146;s future required investment in its 50-seat fleet and is expected to improve the airline&#146;s operating efficiency by eliminating an aircraft type from its platform.&#160; SkyWest also announced today that ExpressJet and American Airlines have agreed to place 12 dual-class CRJ700s into service under a multi-year term.&#160; These CRJ700s had been scheduled to be removed from service under a previously-disclosed early lease return arrangement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally, SkyWest and Bombardier entered into a termination agreement covering Bombardier&#146;s residual value guarantee (&#147;RVG&#148;) agreements on 76 CRJ200 aircraft owned by SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet.&#160; Bombardier agreed to pay SkyWest $90 million by January&nbsp;2017 along with certain other consideration in exchange for the release. Both the required sale of each aircraft and the cost to SkyWest of returning the aircraft to mid-time condition were points of risk and uncertainty for SkyWest that this termination agreement eliminates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of the expectation to remove ExpressJet CRJ200s from service and the Bombardier RVG termination agreement, SkyWest is evaluating its total 50-seat CRJ200 fleet and related long-lived assets for impairment in Q4 2016.&#160; SkyWest currently anticipates it will record a non-cash impairment charge in Q4 2016 estimated to be in the range of $440 million to $490 million (pre-tax) on its CRJ200 aircraft and other 50-seat aircraft assets, net of the $90 million in cash proceeds from the Bombardier termination agreement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Streamlining our fleet and taking early settlement of Bombardier&#146;s RVG obligations reduce both our overall risk profile and the future investment that would have been required in the CRJ200 fleet,&#148; said Chip Childs, President and CEO of SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc.&#160; &#147;These moves strategically position us to continue to deploy our capital against our best investment opportunities and are expected to help improve future liquidity and fleet flexibility.&#148;</font></p>
