<B><FONT size="2">This Form&nbsp;10-K Report contains certain
statements including, but not limited to, information regarding
the replacement, deployment, and acquisition of certain numbers
and types of aircraft, and projected expenses associated
therewith; costs of compliance with Federal Aviation
Administration regulations and other rules and acts of Congress;
the passing of taxes, fuel costs, inflation, and various
expenses to the consumer; the relocation of certain operations
of Mesa; the resolution of litigation in a favorable manner and
certain projected financial obligations. These statements, in
addition to statements made in conjunction with the words
&#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148;
&#147;plan,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148;
&#147;estimate,&#148; and similar expressions, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Safe Harbor
provision of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as amended. These statements relate to future events or the
future financial performance of Mesa and only reflect
management&#146;s expectations and estimates. The following is a
list of factors, among others, that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
changing business conditions in certain market segments and
industries; changes in Mesa&#146;s code-sharing relationships;
the inability of America West, US Airways or United Airlines to
pay their obligations under the code-share agreements; the
inability of United Airlines to successfully restructure and
emerge from bankruptcy; an increase in competition along the
routes Mesa operates or plans to operate; material delays in
completion by the manufacturer of the ordered and yet-to-be
delivered aircraft; availability and cost of funds for financing
new aircraft; changes in general economic conditions; changes in
fuel price; changes in regional economic conditions; Mesa&#146;s
relationship with employees and the terms of future collective
bargaining agreements; the impact of current and future laws,
additional terrorist attacks; Congressional investigations, and
governmental regulations affecting the airline industry and
Mesa&#146;s operations; bureaucratic delays; amendments to
existing legislation; consumers unwilling to incur greater costs
for flights; unfavorable resolution of negotiations with
municipalities for the leasing of facilities; and risks
associated with litigation outcomes. One or more of these or
other factors may cause Mesa&#146;s actual results to differ
materially from any forward-looking statement. Mesa is not
undertaking any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements contained in this Form&nbsp;10-K.</FONT></B>

<FONT size="2">Mesa Air Group, Inc. (&#147;we,&#148;
&#147;us,&#148; &#147;Mesa&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) is
a holding company whose principle subsidiaries operate as
regional air carriers providing scheduled passenger and
airfreight service. The Company serves 163&nbsp;cities in
40&nbsp;states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Mexico and the
Bahamas. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company operated a
fleet of 150 aircraft and had approximately 943 daily departures.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Approximately 98% of our consolidated passenger
revenues for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003 were
derived from operations associated with code-share agreements.
Our subsidiaries have code-share agreements with America West
Airlines, Inc. (&#147;America West&#148;), Frontier Airlines,
Inc. (&#147;Frontier&#148;), Midwest Airlines, Inc.
(&#147;Midwest Airlines&#148;), United Airlines, Inc.
(&#147;United Airlines&#148; or &#147;United&#148;) and
US&nbsp;Airways, Inc. (&#147;US Airways&#148;). These code-share
agreements allow use of the code-share partners&#146; flight
designator code to identify flights and fares in computer
reservation systems, permit use of logos, service marks,
aircraft paint schemes and uniforms similar to the code-share
partner and provide coordinated schedules and joint advertising.
The remaining passenger revenues are derived from Mesa&#146;s
independent operations.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to carrying passengers, we carry
freight and express packages on our passenger flights and have
interline small cargo freight agreements with many other
carriers. We also have contracts with the U.S. Postal Service
for carriage of mail to the cities we serve and occasionally
operate charter flights when our aircraft are not otherwise used
for scheduled service.

<FONT size="2">Our airline subsidiaries have agreements with
America West, US Airways, United Airlines, Frontier, and Midwest
Airlines to use those carriers&#146; designation codes (commonly
referred to as a &#147;code-share agreements&#148;). These
code-share agreements allow use of the code-share partner&#146;s
flight designator code to identify flights and fares in computer
reservation systems, permit use of logos, service marks,
aircraft paint schemes and uniforms similar to the code-share
partner&#146;s and provide coordinated schedules and joint
advertising. The Company&#146;s passengers traveling on flights
operated pursuant to code-share agreements receive mileage
credits in the respective frequent flyer programs of the
Company&#146;s code-share partners, and credits in those
programs can be used on flights operated by the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The financial arrangement with our code-share
partners involves either a revenue-guarantee or pro-rate
arrangement. The America West (regional jet and Dash-8), United
(regional jet and Dash-8), Frontier (regional jet), and
US&nbsp;Airways (regional jet) code-share agreements are
revenue-guarantee flying agreements. Under the terms of these
flying agreements, the major carrier controls marketing,
scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories. The Company
receives a guaranteed payment based upon a fixed minimum monthly
amount plus amounts related to departures and block hours flown
plus direct reimbursement for expenses such as fuel, landing
fees and insurance. Among other advantages, revenue-guarantee
arrangements reduce the Company&#146;s exposure to fluctuations
in passenger traffic and fare levels, as well as fuel prices.
The US Airways, Midwest Airlines and America West B1900
turboprop code-share agreements are pro-rate agreements, for
which the Company receives an allocated portion of the
passengers&#146; fare and pays all of the costs of transporting
the passenger.

CRJ-900, ten CRJ-700, 18 CRJ-200, and six Dash-8 aircraft for
America West under a revenue-guarantee code-sharing agreement.
The code-share agreement, as amended, provides for the Company
to increase its fleet up to 38 CRJ-900s and eliminate the
CRJ-700 aircraft. In addition, America West has an option to
increase its CRJ-900 fleet size to 50 aircraft. In exchange for
providing flights and all other obligations under the agreement,
we receive a fixed monthly minimum amount plus certain
additional amounts based upon the number of flights flown and
block hours performed during the month. America West also
reimburses us for certain costs on an actual basis, including
fuel costs, aircraft ownership and financing costs, landing
fees, passenger liability and hull insurance, and aircraft
property taxes. We also receive a monthly payment from America
West based on a percentage of revenue from flights that we
operate under the code-share agreement. Under the amended
code-share agreement, America West has the right to reduce the
combined CRJ fleets utilized under the code-share agreement by
one aircraft in any six-month period commencing in January 2007.
In addition, beginning in February 2007, America West may
eliminate the Dash-8 aircraft upon 180&nbsp;days prior written
notice. The code-share agreement terminates on June&nbsp;30,
2012 unless America West elects to extend the contract for two
years or exercises options to increase fleet size. The
code-share agreement is subject to termination prior to that
date in various circumstances including:

<FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, we operated 52
50-seat regional jets for US&nbsp;Airways under a code-sharing
agreement, with an additional four 50-seat regional jets added
in December 2003. Under the jet code-share agreement, we provide
US&nbsp;Airways Express service between US&nbsp;Airways hubs and
cities designated by US&nbsp;Airways. In exchange for performing
the flight services under the agreement, we receive from US
Airways a fixed monthly minimum amount, plus certain additional
amounts based upon the number of flights flown and block hours
performed during the month. Additionally, certain costs incurred
by Mesa in performing the flight services are
&#147;pass-through&#148; costs, whereby US&nbsp;Airways agrees
to reimburse us for the actual amounts incurred for these items:
insurance, property tax per aircraft, fuel and oil cost,
catering cost, and landing fees. We also receive a fixed profit
margin based upon certain costs reimbursements under the
agreement. Twenty-four of the fifty-six jets must be in
compliance with the &#145;jets-for-jobs&#146; provisions in the
US&nbsp;Airways pilot contract. &#145;Jets-for-jobs&#146; is an
agreement between Mesa, US&nbsp;Airways and their respective
pilot unions in which furloughed US&nbsp;Airways Pilots receive
an agreed upon number of captain and first officer positions on
certain aircraft added to the agreement. Additionally, on
November&nbsp;22, 2002, the Company signed a non-binding letter
of intent with US Airways to provide up to an additional 50
70-seat regional jets. The additional aircraft, which will also
be subject to &#145;jets-for-jobs,&#146; are expected to be
delivered beginning in mid-fiscal 2004. Mesa and US Airways
continue to discuss the terms of the Letter of Intent, but no
definitive agreement has been reached and no assurance can be
made that a definitive agreement will be reached that is
mutually acceptable to both parties. The code-share agreement
for (i)&nbsp;the initial 32 ERJ-145s terminates on
December&nbsp;31, 2008, unless US Airways elects to exercise its
option to extend the term for three years upon 12&nbsp;months
notice; and (ii)&nbsp;the additional 24 jets terminates in
January 2013, unless US Airways elects to exercise its option to
extend the term for two years upon 12&nbsp;months notice.
Further, on November&nbsp;19, 2003, the Company signed a Seventh
Amendment to the US Airways code-share agreement in which the
number of additional aircraft was increased from 24 jets to 27
jets. These aircraft are expected to be placed in service
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

<FONT size="2">Our flight schedules are structured to facilitate
the connection of our passengers with the flights of our
code-share partners at their hub airports and to maximize local
and connecting service to other carriers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under our B1900 turboprop operations, the
Company&#146;s market selection process follows an in-depth
analysis on a route-by-route basis and is followed by a review
and approval process in a joint effort with US&nbsp;Airways or
America West, as the case may be, regarding the level of service
and fares. We believe that this selection process enhances the
likelihood of profitability in a given market.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under the America West, US Airways and United
revenue-guarantee code-share agreements, market selection,
pricing and yield management functions are performed by our
respective partners. Our role is simply to operate our fleet in
the safest and most reliable manner in exchange for fees paid
under a generally fixed payment schedule. We intend to expand
our operations performed pursuant to these revenue-guarantee
agreements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under our code-share agreements, the code-share
partner coordinates advertising and public relations within
their respective systems. In addition, our traffic is impacted
by the major airline partners&#146; advertising programs in
regions outside those served by us, with the major
partners&#146; customers becoming our customers as a result of
through fares. Under pro-rate code-share arrangements, our
passengers also benefit from through fare ticketing with the
major airline partners and greater accessibility to our flights
on computer reservation systems and in the Official Airline
Guide.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our pro-rate agreements and independent flights
are promoted through, and our revenues are generally believed to
benefit from, listings in computer reservation systems, the
Official Airline Guide and through direct contact with travel
agencies and corporate travel departments. Our independent
operations utilize SABRE, a computerized reservation system
widely used by travel agents, corporate travel offices and other
airlines. The reservation systems of our code-share partners are
also utilized in each of our other operations through their
respective code-share agreements. We also pay booking fees to
owners of other computerized reservation systems based on the
number of independent and pro-rate passengers booked by travel
agents using such systems. We believe that we have good
relationships with the travel agents serving our passengers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Competition</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The airline industry is highly competitive and
volatile. Airlines compete in the areas of pricing, scheduling
(frequency and timing of flights), on-time performance, type of
equipment, cabin configuration, amenities provided to
passengers, frequent flyer plans, and the automation of travel
agent reservation systems. Further, because of the Airline
Deregulation Act, airlines are currently free to set prices and
establish new routes without the necessity of seeking
governmental approval. At the same time, deregulation has
allowed airlines to abandon unprofitable routes where the
affected communities will not be left without air service.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe that the Airline Deregulation Act
facilitated our entry into scheduled air service markets and
allows us to compete on the basis of service and fares, thus
causing major carriers to seek out further contractual
agreements with carriers like us as a way of expanding their
respective networks. However, the Airline Deregulation Act makes
the entry of other competitors possible, some of which may have
substantial financial resources and experience, creating the
potential for intense competition among regional air carriers in
our markets.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe our code-share agreements provide a
significant competitive advantage in hub airports where our
major partner has a predominant share of the market. The ability
to control connecting passenger traffic by offering superior
service creates difficulty for other regional airlines wishing
to compete at such hubs. In addition to enhanced competitiveness
offered by the code-share agreements, we compete with other
airlines by offering frequent flights, flexible schedules and
numerous fare levels.

<B><FONT size="2">Fuel</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Historically, we have not experienced problems
with the availability of fuel, and believe that we will be able
to obtain fuel in quantities sufficient to meet our existing and
anticipated future requirements at competitive prices. Standard
industry contracts generally do not provide protection against
fuel price increases, nor do they ensure availability of supply.
However, the Company&#146;s revenue-guarantee code-share
agreements with America West, Frontier, United and US Airways
(regional jet) allow fuel used in the performance of the
agreements to be billed to the code-share partner, thereby
reducing the Company&#146;s exposure to fuel price fluctuations.
In fiscal 2003, approximately 84% of the Company&#146;s fuel was
associated with the Company&#146;s America West, Frontier,
United and US Airways (regional jet) code-share agreements. A
substantial increase in the price of jet fuel, to the extent our
fuel costs are not reimbursed, or the lack of adequate fuel
supplies in the future may have a material adverse effect on the
Company&#146;s business, financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">All mechanics and avionics specialists employed
by us have the appropriate training and experience and hold the
required licenses issued by the FAA. Using a combination of
FAA-certified maintenance vendors and our own personnel and
facilities, the Company maintains its aircraft on a scheduled
and &#147;as-needed&#148; basis. We emphasize preventive
maintenance and inspect our aircraft engines and airframes as
required. We also maintain an inventory of spare parts specific
to the aircraft types we fly. We provide periodic in-house and
outside training for our maintenance and flight personnel and
also take advantage of factory training programs that are
offered when acquiring new aircraft.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We carry types and amounts of insurance customary
in the regional airline industry, including coverage for public
liability, passenger liability, property damage, product
liability, aircraft loss or damage, baggage and cargo liability
and workers&#146; compensation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result of the terrorist attacks on
September&nbsp;11, 2001, aviation insurers have significantly
reduced the maximum amount of insurance coverage available to
commercial air carriers for war-risk coverage, while at the same
time, significantly increasing the premiums for this coverage as
well as for aviation insurance in general. Given the significant
increase in insurance costs, the federal government is providing
insurance assistance under the Air Transportation Safety and
System Stabilization Act. In addition, the federal government
has issued war-risk coverage to U.S. air carriers that is
generally renewable for 60-day periods. However, the
availability of aviation insurance is not guaranteed and our
inability to obtain such coverage at affordable rates may result
in the grounding of our aircraft. Insurance costs are reimbursed
under the terms of our code-share agreement with America West,
United Airlines and our regional jet service agreement with
US&nbsp;Airways.

<B><FONT size="2">Employees</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, we employed
approximately 3,600 employees. Approximately 2,100 of our
employees are represented by various labor organizations. Our
continued success is partly dependent on our ability to continue
to attract and retain qualified personnel. Historically, we have
had no difficulty attracting qualified personnel to meet our
requirements.

represented by the Association of Flight Attendants
(&#147;AFA&#148;). Mesa Airline&#146;s contract with the AFA
expires in June 2006. Freedom is currently in negotiations with
the AFA. As Freedom aircraft are transferred to Mesa Airlines,
the affected flight attendants became assimilated into the
existing Mesa Airlines/ AFA contract. The Company&#146;s pilots,
which are represented by Air Line Pilot Association
(&#147;ALPA&#148;) ratified a 54-month contract effective
March&nbsp;19, 2003. This contract covers the pilots from Air
Midwest, Freedom and Mesa Airlines.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Although not currently observing high turnover,
pilot turnover at times is a significant issue among regional
carriers when major carriers are hiring experienced commercial
pilots away from regional carriers. The addition of aircraft,
especially new aircraft types, can result in pilots upgrading
between aircraft types and becoming unavailable for duty during
the extensive training periods required. No assurances can be
made that pilot turnover and unavailability will not be a
significant problem in the future, particularly if major
carriers expand their operations. Similarly, there can be no
assurance that sufficient numbers of new pilots will be
available to support any future growth.

<B><FONT size="2">Essential Air Service Program</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Essential Air Service (&#147;EAS&#148;)
program administered by the United States Department of
Transportation (&#147;DOT&#148;) guarantees a minimum level of
air service in certain communities, predicated on predetermined
guidelines set forth by Congress. Based on these guidelines, the
DOT subsidizes air service to communities that might not
otherwise have air service. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, we
provided service to 27 such cities for an annual subsidy of
approximately $17.0&nbsp;million. EAS rates are normally set for
two-year contract periods for each city. There is no guarantee
that we will continue to receive subsidies for the cities we
serve. The DOT may request competitive proposals from other
airlines at the end of the contract period for EAS service to a
particular city. Proposals, when requested, are evaluated on,
among other things, level of service provided, subsidy
requested, fitness of the applicant and comments from the
communities served. If the funding under this program is
terminated for any of the cities served by the Company, in all
likelihood we would not continue to fly in these markets, and as
a result, we would be forced to find alternative uses for the
Beechcraft 1900D 19-seat turboprop aircraft affected.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As an interstate air carrier, we are subject to
the economic jurisdiction, regulation and continuing air carrier
fitness requirements of the DOT. Such requirements include
minimum levels of financial, managerial and regulatory fitness.
The DOT is authorized to establish consumer protection
regulations to prevent unfair methods of competition and
deceptive practices, to prohibit certain pricing practices, to
inspect a carrier&#146;s books, properties and records, and to
mandate conditions of carriage. The DOT also has the power to
bring proceedings for the enforcement of air carrier economic
regulations, including the assessment of civil penalties, and to
seek criminal sanctions.

<FONT size="2">We are subject to the jurisdiction of the FAA
with respect to its aircraft maintenance and operations,
including equipment, ground facilities, dispatch, communication,
training, weather observation, flight personnel and other
matters affecting air safety. To ensure compliance with its
regulations, the FAA requires airlines to obtain an operating
certificate, which is subject to suspension or revocation for
cause, and provides for regular inspections.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Effective March 1997, the FAA required that
regional airlines with aircraft of ten or more passenger seats
operating under FAR Part&nbsp;135 rules to begin operating those
aircraft under FAR Part 121 regulations. The Company, which at
one time was one of the largest regional airlines operating
under FAR Part&nbsp;135 regulations, completed the transition to
Part&nbsp;121 within the FAA&#146;s deadline. These requirements
have resulted in a significant increase in Air Midwest&#146;s
costs, adversely affecting our ability to profitably serve
certain markets. Such increased costs are primarily related to
additional training, dispatch and maintenance procedures. We
continue to work to minimize the cost of these new operating
procedures while fully complying with FAR Part&nbsp;121
operating requirements.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;6, 2003, the Company announced
that it had made an unsolicited proposal to the board of
directors of Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc.
(&#147;Atlantic Coast&#148;) to acquire all the outstanding
stock of Atlantic Coast whereby the Company would issue 0.9 of a
share of its common stock for each Atlantic Coast share. In
connection with such proposal, the Company, on October&nbsp;15,
2003, filed with the SEC the necessary documents to commence a
shareholder consent solicitation to replace Atlantic
Coast&#146;s current board of directors with independent
directors who we believe will give fair consideration to our
proposal and announced its intention to make an exchange offer
for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Atlantic Coast
subject to certain conditions. We believe that our nominees, if
elected, would take such action, to the event that it is in the
best interest of the Atlantic Coast stockholders to
(i)&nbsp;remove the impediments to the consideration of the
Company&#146;s exchange offer/merger proposal and any
alternative proposals arising pursuant to that certain Rights
Agreement dated as of January&nbsp;27, 1999 between Atlantic
Coast and Continental Stock Transfer &#38; Trust Company, and
(ii)&nbsp;exempt the Company&#146;s exchange offer/merger
proposal, or any other alternative transaction from the
restrictions of Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. We also intended to file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-4 with respect to the
issuance of our common stock in connection with the offer to
exchange Mesa shares directly with Atlantic Coast shareholders.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In connection with our proposal, several lawsuits
have been filed. On October&nbsp;27, 2003, Atlantic Coast filed
a complaint against Mesa in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia alleging that Mesa has made materially
false and misleading statements and omissions in violation of
the federal securities laws in connection with its proposed
consent solicitation and potential exchange offer. Atlantic
Coast&#146;s complaint alleges, among other things, that
(i)&nbsp;Mesa failed to disclose Untied Airlines as a
participant in its consent solicitation and proposed
transaction; (ii)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s bid to acquire all of
Atlantic Coast&#146;s outstanding stock is motivated by its
desire to use Atlantic Coast&#146;s cash on hand to resolve
Mesa&#146;s difficulties in obtaining financing for additional
aircraft purchases; (iii)&nbsp;Mesa CEO Jonathan Ornstein and
other Mesa insiders sold a substantial number of Mesa shares in
September 2003, shortly before Mesa announced its takeover bid
of Atlantic Coast; (iv)&nbsp;other stock transactions produced
short-swing profits subject to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires a
corporate insider to disgorge any profit from such transactions;
(v)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s directors, who have determined that an
acquisition of Atlantic Coast would be in Mesa&#146;s best
interest and are proposing a transaction in which the
stockholders of Atlantic Coast would receive shares of Mesa
common stock, are not sufficiently independent and have engaged
in self-dealing; and (vi)&nbsp;several of Mesa&#146;s nominees
to Atlantic Coast&#146;s board of directors are subject to
conflicts of interest that would impair their ability to fulfill
their fiduciary obligations to Atlantic Coast. Atlantic Coast in
its complaint seeks injunctive relief with respect to its
allegations. Atlantic Coast in its complaint seeks to
(i)&nbsp;obtain a declaration that Mesa&#146;s consent statement
as well as its other statements in conjunction with its proposed
consent solicitation violate Section&nbsp;14(a) of the Exchange
Act and SEC Rule&nbsp;14a-9; (ii)&nbsp;obtain a declaration that
Mesa&#146;s consent statement as well as its other statements in
conjunction with its proposed consent solicitation and exchange
offer violate Section&nbsp;14(e) of the Exchange Act;
(iii)&nbsp;require Mesa to correct any alleged material
misstatements and omissions; (iv)&nbsp;enjoin Mesa from
disseminating its consent statement; and (v)&nbsp;enjoin Mesa
from making a proxy consent solicitation and/or tender offer to
Atlantic Coast&#146;s stockholders.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;29, 2003, Mesa filed a lawsuit in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking to
require the Atlantic Coast Board to comply with the proper
procedures under Delaware law and the Atlantic Coast by-laws
with respect to fixing a record date for the consent
solicitation and commencing the 60-day solicitation period. The
lawsuit alleges that the action taken by the Atlantic Coast
board to set a record date of October&nbsp;23, 2003 impedes
Atlantic Coast&#146;s shareholders&#146; ability to exercise
their voting rights and right to receive superior value for
their shares. Mesa is seeking from the Court, among other
things, an order for declaratory and injunctive relief declaring
that the October&nbsp;23, 2003 record date is invalid; declaring
that the consent solicitation has not yet commenced; and
enjoining Atlantic Coast from fixing a record date or declaring
that the consent solicitation has commenced.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;25, 2003 and December&nbsp;2,
2003, Atlantic Coast announced respectively (i)&nbsp;that the
consent it received had been revoked and (ii)&nbsp;the
cancellation of the record date previously set in connection
with Mesa&#146;s consent solicitation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;26, 2003, Atlantic Coast amended
its complaint. The amended complaint, in addition to the
allegations contained in its initial complaint filed on
October&nbsp;27, 2003, claims that (i)&nbsp;United Airlines and
Mesa acted in concert and conspired in violation of
Section&nbsp;1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and
(ii)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s attempt to acquire Atlantic Coast is in
violation of Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act. Atlantic Coast
simultaneously filed a motion for a preliminary injunction that
would, among other things, prohibit Mesa from commencing our
consent solicitation and from taking any other action to attempt
to acquire control of Atlantic Coast or its board of directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2003, Mesa filed a
counterclaim against Atlantic Coast. Mesa&#146;s counterclaim
alleges that Atlantic Coast&#146;s preliminary proxy statement
and other public statements made in connection with Mesa&#146;s
consent solicitation and Atlantic Coast&#146;s business model of
becoming an independent low-fare airline are materially false
and misleading, in violation of Section&nbsp;14(a) of the
Exchange Act.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;8, 2003, the Corporation Counsel
for the District of Columbia initiated an antitrust
investigation to determine whether Mesa&#146;s proposed
acquisition of Atlantic Coast violates Section&nbsp;1 of the
Sherman Act or Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act or the District
of Columbia Antitrust Act. Mesa intends to fully comply with
this inquiry.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;18, 2003, the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia enjoined us from
proceeding with our consent solicitation and our exchange offer
pending final resolution of Atlantic Coast&#146;s antitrust
claims against Mesa. On December&nbsp;19, 2003, the United
States Department of Justice initiated an antitrust
investigation to determine whether Mesa&#146;s proposed
acquisition of Atlantic Coast violates Section&nbsp;1 of the
Sherman Act or Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act. Mesa intends
to fully comply with this inquiry. On December&nbsp;23, 2003,
Mesa announced that it would not be moving forward with either
its proposed consent solicitation or exchange offer for Atlantic
Coast.

<FONT size="2">The discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based upon our financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. In connection with the preparation of these financial
statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On
an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful
accounts, medical claims reserve, valuation of assets held for
sale and costs to return aircraft and a valuation allowance for
certain deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are
reasonable under the circumstances. Such historical experience
and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

financial results. The discussion below is not intended to be a
comprehensive list of our accounting policies. For a detailed

<FONT size="2">The America West, United, Frontier and the US
Airways regional jet code-share agreements are revenue-guarantee
flying agreements. Under a revenue-guarantee arrangement, the
major airline generally pays a fixed monthly minimum amount,
plus certain additional amounts based upon the number of flights
flown and block hours performed. The contracts also include
reimbursement of certain costs incurred by Mesa in performing
flight services. These costs, known as &#147;pass-through
costs,&#148; may include aircraft ownership cost, passenger and
hull insurance, aircraft property taxes as well as, fuel,
landing fees and catering. The contracts also include a profit
component that may be determined based on a percentage of
profits on the Mesa flown flights, a profit margin on certain
reimbursable costs as well as a profit margin based on certain
operational benchmarks. The Company primarily recognizes revenue
under its revenue-guarantee agreements when the transportation
is provided. The majority of the revenue under these contracts
is known at the end of the accounting period and is booked as
actual. The Company performs an estimate of the profit component
based upon the information available at the end of the
accounting period. All revenue recognized under these contracts
is presented at the gross amount billed.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The America West, US Airways, and Midwest
Airlines B1900D turboprop code-share agreements are pro-rate
agreements. Under a prorate agreement, the Company receives a
percentage of the passenger&#146;s fare based on a standard
industry formula that allocates revenue based on the percentage
of transportation provided. Revenue from our pro-rate agreements
and our independent operation is recognized when transportation
is provided. Tickets sold but not yet used are included in air
traffic liability on the consolidated balance sheets.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company also receives subsidies for providing
scheduled air service to certain small or rural communities.
Such revenue is recognized in the period in which the air
service is provided. The amount of the subsidy payments is
determined by the United States Department of Transportation on
the basis of its evaluation of the amount of revenue needed to
meet operating expenses and to provide a reasonable return on
investment with respect to eligible routes. EAS rates are
normally set for two-year contract periods for each city.

the remaining amounts not only depends upon Mesa prevailing
under audit, but also upon the financial well-being of the
code-share partner. As such, the Company periodically reviews
amounts past due and records a reserve for amounts estimated to
be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was
$4.7&nbsp;million and $12.8&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. If the Company&#146;s actual
ability to collect these receivables and the actual financial

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company records deferred tax assets for the
value of benefits expected to be realized from the utilization
of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards and state and
federal net operating loss carryforwards. The Company
periodically reviews these assets for realizability based upon
expected taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions.
To the extent the Company believes some portion of the benefit
may not be realizable, an estimate of the unrealized portion is
made and an allowance is recorded. At September 30, 2003 and
2002, the Company had a valuation allowance for certain deferred
tax assets not expected to be realized of $0.1&nbsp;million and
$2.9&nbsp;million, respectively. Realization of these deferred
tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable
income prior to expiration of any net operating loss
carryforwards. The Company believes it will generate sufficient
taxable income in the future to realize these net operating loss
carryforwards as the Company has had pretax income in fiscal
2003, 2002 and 2001 (excluding impairment charges) and as the
Company has taken steps to minimize the financial impact of its
unprofitable subsidiaries. Although realization is not assured,
management believes it is more likely than not that the recorded
deferred tax asset, net of the valuation allowance provided,
will be realized. If the ultimate realization of these deferred
tax assets is significantly different than those that have been
estimated, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets could
be materially overstated or understated.

<FONT size="2">In fiscal 2003, operating revenues increased by
$103.2&nbsp;million (20.8%) to $600.0&nbsp;million, from
$496.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2002. Mesa and Freedom revenue
increased $135.2&nbsp;million. The primary reason for the
increase was the additional revenue derived from placing
30&nbsp;regional jets into service in 2003. Offsetting this
increase, pro-rate revenue at Air Midwest decreased
$8.2&nbsp;million and pro-rate revenue at CCAir decreased
$23.1&nbsp;million. The decrease in pro-rate revenue was
primarily due to a 31% decrease in passengers carried by Air
Midwest and CCAir, the reduction of four turboprop aircraft in
service (as a result of the cessation of CCAir&#146;s
operations), as well as a nine percent decrease in the average
fare as a result of industry economic conditions. Under
revenue-guarantee contracts, we are substantially insulated from
industry passenger trends.

increased 20.6% to $222.3&nbsp;million (5.0&nbsp;cents per ASM)
from $184.3&nbsp;million (5.3&nbsp;cents per ASM) in fiscal
2002. Flight operations expense for Mesa and Freedom increased
$58.2&nbsp;million due to the additional costs associated with
operating the 30&nbsp;additional regional jets that were placed
into service in 2003, net of any purchase incentives received in
conjunction with the additional jets. This increase was offset
by a decrease of $14.2&nbsp;million in flight operations expense
at CCAir, due to the cessation of its operations in November of
2002. The decrease on a cost per ASM basis for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, is a result of the increase in both the
proportion of regional jets to turboprops, as well as the
addition of larger regional jets which, on a relative basis,
produce more ASMs per mile. Regional jets generally have lower
operating costs per ASM than turboprop aircraft.

expense at Mesa and Freedom increased $35.1&nbsp;million due to
the addition of regional jets and fuel expense at Air Midwest
increased $2.6&nbsp;million due to the additional flying assumed
by Air Midwest after the cessation of operations at CCAir. The
increase is also due to a 14% increase in the average price of
fuel, or 12&nbsp;cents per gallon, due to the rising costs of
fuel in the past year primarily as a result of the war in Iraq.
These increases were offset by a decrease in fuel expense at
CCAir of $2.3&nbsp;million due to the cessation of its
operations. The increase on an ASM basis is due to the 14%
increase in the average price of a gallon of fuel.

$100.0&nbsp;million (2.9&nbsp;cents per ASM) in fiscal 2002.
Mesa and Freedom maintenance expenses increased
$20.8&nbsp;million primarily as a result of an increased number
of aircraft in the fleet, increased repair costs on certain
rotable parts and increased engine overhaul expenses at Mesa
Airlines. Air Midwest&#146;s maintenance expense increased
$2.1&nbsp;million primarily as a result of transitioning to the
power-by-the-hour program for engines and an increase in heavy
maintenance checks. Maintenance expenses in the Other segment
increased $2.8&nbsp;million due to our procurement company
incurring rotable repair expenses as well as certain purchasing
related administrative expenses. These increases in maintenance
expense were offset by a decrease at CCAir of $10.0&nbsp;million
due to the cessation of its operations. The decrease on an ASM
basis is due to the lower operating costs of flying regional
jets versus turboprop aircraft.

The decrease is due to a decline in the booking and franchise

with their code-share partners caused by a decline in passenger
carried under these agreements. The Company does not pay these
fees under its regional jet-revenue contracts.

2002. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in bad debt
expense of $7.4&nbsp;million as a result of collections on
certain receivables that were reserved in prior years. Legal and
professional expense decreased $1.9&nbsp;million in 2003 as a
result of the large charge associated with the Beus Gilbert
lawsuit that was recognized in 2002. These decreases were offset
by an increase in property taxes of $1.9&nbsp;million, primarily
due to the addition of jet aircraft in 2003 and an increase in
accrued compensation and benefits of $0.9&nbsp;million due to
headcount increases.

majority of the year). Offsetting this increase, pro-rate
revenue at Air Midwest decreased $40.8&nbsp;million and pro-rate
revenue at CCAir decreased $36.7&nbsp;million. The decrease in
pro-rate revenue was primarily due to reductions in pro-rate
flying capacity and industry-wide declines in load factors as a
result of September&nbsp;11th. As a result of decreases in
capacity and the effects of the events of September&nbsp;11,
2001, passengers traveling on such pro-rate flights decreased
42.9% for the year. Under revenue-guarantee contracts, we are
substantially insulated from industry passenger trends.

result of $3.4&nbsp;million in benefits received by Air Midwest
as part of the cost reduction agreement reached with Raytheon
Aerospace and reduced turboprop flights at both Air Midwest and
CCAir. This decrease was offset by higher than expected engine
maintenance in the fourth quarter at Mesa and Freedom due to
problems related to unexpected component failures, resulting in
the premature removal and overhaul of jet engines. The decrease
in cost per ASM is a result of an increase in the proportion of
regional jet ASMs and the turboprop cost reduction initiatives.

expense decreased 14.4% to $46.1&nbsp;million (1.3&nbsp;cents
per ASM) from $53.8&nbsp;million (1.6&nbsp;cents per ASM) in
fiscal 2001. The decrease in aircraft and traffic service
expense is primarily due to reductions in turboprop flights that
resulted in decreases of $5.0&nbsp;million at Air Midwest and
$4.0&nbsp;million at CCAir. These decreases were slightly offset
by an increase in aircraft and traffic servicing expense at Mesa
and Freedom of $1.2&nbsp;million due to the operation of more
regional jets. On an ASM basis, the reduction is a result of the
increase in the proportion of regional jet ASMs. The Company can
service regional jets with the same number of personnel as
smaller turboprop aircraft even though regional jets carry more
passengers. In addition, the Company also had more regional jets
in service under the US&nbsp;Airways contract in 2002 than in
2001. Under our regional jet contract with US Airways, many of
the aircraft and traffic servicing expenses are absorbed
directly by US&nbsp;Airways.

debt expense of $13.0&nbsp;million at Mesa and Freedom, which
was due to allowances for receivables recorded in the prior year
as a result of the effect that terrorist attacks that took place
on September&nbsp;11, 2001 had on our code-share partners. In
addition, professional fees at Mesa decreased approximately
$3.0&nbsp;million as the majority of the legal costs associated
with the Beus Gilbert matter were accrued in 2001. We also
reduced our 401(k) matching contribution by $0.7&nbsp;million in

collateralization of these letters of credit results in the
Company having restricted cash.

<FONT size="2">As of December&nbsp;8, 2003, we have 17 aircraft
remaining on order under our May 2001 aircraft purchase
agreement with BRAD. In conjunction with this purchase
agreement, we had $15.0&nbsp;million remaining on deposit with
BRAD, which was included with lease and equipment deposits at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The remaining deposits will be returned
on a pro rata basis in equal amounts upon completion of
permanent financing on each of the last five aircraft
($3.0&nbsp;million per aircraft).

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company had
permanently financed 11 of the 21 CRJ-700 and CRJ-900 aircraft
delivered under the 2001 BRAD agreement; the remaining ten
aircraft were subject to interim financing. Subsequent to year
end, the Company took delivery of two additional Bombardier
CRJ-900 aircraft, both of which were delivered with interim
financing. In December 2003, the Company completed permanent
financing of one CRJ-700 and seven CRJ-900 aircraft, increasing
the number of aircraft available under the interim facility by
seven. The Company currently has five aircraft on interim
financing provided by the manufacturer and its ability to obtain
additional interim financing is contingent upon obtaining
permanent financing for the aircraft already delivered. There
are no assurances the Company will be able to obtain permanent
financing for existing or future aircraft deliveries.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We have significant long-term lease obligations
primarily relating to our aircraft fleet. The leases are
classified as operating leases and are therefore excluded from
our consolidated balance sheets. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, we
leased 121 aircraft with remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to
17&nbsp;years. Future minimum lease payments due under all
long-term operating leases were approximately $2.0&nbsp;billion
at September&nbsp;30, 2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;19, 2003, the Company acquired
the assets of bankrupt Midway Airlines Corporation for
$9.2&nbsp;million. Assets acquired included two owned CRJ
aircraft, all of Midway&#146;s CRJ spare parts and support
equipment, all aircraft landing and/or takeoff slots at New York
LaGuardia and Washington National airports, and all related
acquisition materials associated with the operation of
Midway&#146;s CRJ operations. The Company also assumed the
leases on six CRJ aircraft and Midway&#146;s right to three
additional leased aircraft. The Company expects to operate the
aircraft under its existing code-share agreements.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Management believes that the Company will have
adequate cash flow to meet our operating needs. This is a
forward-looking statement. Actual cash flows could materially
differ from this forward-looking statement as a result of many
factors, including the termination of one or more code-share
agreements; failure to sell, dispose of, or redeploy excess
aircraft in a timely manner; a substantial decrease in the
number of routes allocated to us under its code-share agreements
with our code-share partners; reduced levels of passenger
revenue, additional taxes or costs of compliance with
governmental regulations; fuel cost increases; increases in
competition; additional terrorist attacks; increases in interest
rates; general economic conditions and unfavorable settlement of
existing litigation.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, we had
$207.5&nbsp;million in long-term debt (including current
maturities). This amount consisted primarily of
$100.6&nbsp;million in notes payable related to the
Company&#146;s fleet of Beechcraft 1900D turboprop aircraft,
$100.1&nbsp;million related to the issuance of the senior
convertible notes, $4.1&nbsp;million related to the settlement
of past contractual claims of an aircraft manufacturer, and
$1.0&nbsp;million related to a mortgage note payable on one of
our real estate properties.

<FONT size="2">In January 1997, the Company entered into a
10-year engine maintenance contract with General Electric
Aircraft Engines (&#147;GE&#148;) for its CRJ-200 aircraft. The
agreement was subsequently amended in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003. The amended contract requires a monthly payment
based upon the prior month&#146;s flight hours incurred by the
covered engines. The hourly rate increases over time based upon
the engine overhaul costs that are expected to be incurred in
that year and is subject to escalation based on changes in
certain price indices. Maintenance expense is recognized based
upon the product of flight hours flown and the rate in effect
for the period. The contract also provides for a fixed number of
engine overhauls per year. To the extent that the number of
actual overhauls is less than the fixed number, GE is required
to issue to Mesa a credit for the number of events less than the
fixed number multiplied by an agreed upon price. To the extent

<FONT size="2">In May 2002, the Company entered into a new
six-year fleet management program with PWC to provide
maintenance for the Company&#146;s Beechcraft 1900D turboprop
engines. The contract requires a monthly payment based upon
flight hours incurred by the covered aircraft. The hourly rate
is subject to annual adjustment based on changes in certain
price indices and is guaranteed to increase by no less than 1.5%
per year. Maintenance expense is recognized based upon the
product of flight hours flown and the rate in effect for the
period. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold certain
assets of its Desert Turbine Services unit, as well as all spare
PT6 engines to PWC. The agreement covers all of the
Company&#146;s Beechcraft 1900D turboprop aircraft and engines.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company was required to prepay
$6.8&nbsp;million in future maintenance costs to PWC. The
prepayment is being amortized to expense over the term of the
agreement. The agreement also contains a termination clause and
look back provision to provide for any shortfall between the
cost of maintenance incurred by the provider and the amount paid
up to the termination date by the Company and provides for
return of a pro-rated share of the prepaid amount upon early
termination. The Company does not anticipate an early

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In December 2002, Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the &#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;148,
&#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure.&#148; This statement amends SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123,
&#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,&#148; to provide
alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily
changes to the fair value based method of accounting of
stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 to require prominent
disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an
entity&#146;s accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock-based employee compensation. This statement also amends
APB Opinion No.&nbsp;28, &#147;Interim Financial
Reporting,&#148; to require disclosure about those effects in
interim financial statements. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;148 is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after
December&nbsp;15, 2002. The Company has elected not to
voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based compensation at this time but has adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;148.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In April 2003, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;149, &#147;Amendment of Statement&nbsp;133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.&#148; The
amendments set forth in Statement&nbsp;149 improve financial
reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for similarly. In particular, this
statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an
initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative
as discussed in SFAS&nbsp;133. In addition, it clarifies when a
derivative contains a financing component that warrants special
reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS&nbsp;149 amends
certain other existing pronouncements. Those changes will result
in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives
in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that
warrant separate accounting. The pronouncement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June&nbsp;30, 2003 and
for hedging relationships designated after June&nbsp;30, 2003.
The guidance should be applied prospectively. The adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;149 did not have a material impact on the
Company&#146;s results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.

<FONT size="2">In May 2003, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;150, &#147;Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity.&#148; This statement establishes standards for how an
issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments
with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires
that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within
its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).
This statement is effective for financial instruments entered
into or modified after May&nbsp;31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;150
did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.

initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are
applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or

requires that companies that control another entity through
interests other than voting interests should consolidate the
controlled entity. FIN 46 is effective for variable interest
entities created after January&nbsp;31, 2003 and to any variable
interest entities in which the Company obtains an interest after
that date. FIN 46 is effective for the interim or annual periods
ending after December&nbsp;15, 2003 for variable interest

<FONT size="2">We have exposure to market risk associated with
changes in interest rates related primarily to our debt
obligations and short-term marketable investment portfolio. The
Company&#146;s debt obligations are primarily variable in rate
and therefore have exposure to changes in interest rates. A 10%
change in interest rates would result in an approximately
$0.3&nbsp;million impact on interest expense. The Company also
has investments in debt securities. If short-term interest rates
were to average 10% more than they did in fiscal year 2003
interest income would be impacted by approximately
$0.1&nbsp;million. The Company&#146;s investments in equity
securities are subject to market risk related to fluctuations in
share prices for those shares held. A 10% change in the price of
trading securities held at the level of investment at
September&nbsp;30, 2003 would impact the results of the Company
by approximately $2.8&nbsp;million.

<FONT size="2">We have exposure to certain market risks
associated with our aircraft fuel. Aviation fuel expense is a
significant expense for any air carrier and even marginal
changes in the cost of fuel greatly impact a carrier&#146;s
profitability. Standard industry contracts do not generally
provide protection against fuel price increases, nor do they
insure availability of supply. However, the America West,
Frontier, United and US Airways revenue-guarantee code-share
agreements allow fuel costs to be reimbursed by the code-share
partner, thereby reducing our overall exposure to fuel price
fluctuations. In fiscal 2003, 84% of our fuel requirements were
associated with these contracts. Each one cent change in the
price of jet fuel amounts to a $0.2&nbsp;million change in
annual fuel costs for that portion of fuel expense that is not
reimbursed by our code-share partners.

Inc. provides pilot training in coordination with a community
college in Farmington, New Mexico and with Arizona State
University in Tempe, Arizona. RAS performs aircraft component
repair and overhaul services. UFLY was established in fiscal
2002 to make strategic investments in US Airways common stock.
MAGI is a captive insurance company established for the purpose
of obtaining more favorable aircraft liability insurance rates.
CCAir ceased operations on November&nbsp;3, 2002 and was
dissolved in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. UFLY distributed
its assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and was
subsequently dissolved prior to fiscal year end. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

<FONT size="2">The Company is an independent regional airline
serving 163 cities in 40 states, the Bahamas, Canada and Mexico.
At September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company operated a fleet of 150
aircraft and had approximately 943 daily departures. The
Company&#146;s airline operations are conducted by three
regional airline subsidiaries primarily utilizing hub-and-spoke
systems. Mesa Airlines operates as America West Express under a
code-share agreement with America West Airlines, Inc.
(&#147;America West&#148;), as United Express under a code-share
relationship with United Airlines (&#147;United&#148;), as US
Airways Express under a code-share agreement with US Airways,
Inc. (&#147;US Airways&#148;), and as Frontier JetExpress under
a code-share agreement with Frontier Airlines, Inc.
(&#147;Frontier&#148;). Freedom operates as America West Express
pursuant to the Company&#146;s code-share agreement with America
West. Air Midwest operates under code-share agreements with
America West, US Airways and Midwest Airlines. Air Midwest also
operates an independent division, doing business as Mesa
Airlines, from Albuquerque, New Mexico and Dallas, Texas. Prior
to ceasing operations, CCAir operated under a code-share
agreement with US Airways as US Airways Express. Approximately
98% of our consolidated passenger revenues for 2003 were derived
from operations associated with code-share agreements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The financial arrangement between Mesa and its
code-share partners involve either a revenue-guarantee or
pro-rate arrangement. Under a revenue-guarantee arrangement, the
major airline generally pays a monthly guaranteed amount. The
America West jet and Dash-8 code-share agreement, the Frontier
regional jet agreement, the United jet and Dash-8 code-share
agreement and the US Airways regional jet agreement are
revenue-guarantee flying agreements. Under the terms of these
flying agreements, the major carrier controls marketing,
scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories. The Company
receives a guaranteed payment based upon a fixed minimum monthly
amount plus amounts related to departures and block hours flown
plus direct reimbursement for expenses such as fuel, landing
fees and insurance. Among other advantages, revenue-guarantee
arrangements reduce the Company&#146;s exposure to fluctuations
in passenger traffic and fare levels, as well as fuel prices.

<FONT size="2">In addition to carrying passengers, the Company
carries freight and express packages on its passenger flights
and has interline small cargo freight agreements with many other

for carriage of mail to the cities it serves and occasionally
operates charter flights when its aircraft are not otherwise

<FONT size="2">Renewal of one code-share agreement with a
code-share partner does not guarantee the renewal of any other
code-share agreement with the same code-share partner. The
agreement with America West expires in 2012; the agreements with
US Airways expire on various dates from 2005 to 2012; the
agreements with United expire between 2011 and 2013; the
agreement with Frontier expires on December&nbsp;31, 2003, and
the agreement with Midwest Airlines expires in 2006. Although
the provisions of the code-share agreements vary from contract
to contract, generally each agreement is subject to cancellation
should the Company&#146;s subsidiaries fail to meet certain
operating performance standards, breach other contractual terms
and conditions and, in the case of the US&nbsp;Airways turboprop
code-share agreements generally upon six months notice by either
party. The US&nbsp;Airways regional jet service agreement and
the Kansas City code-share agreement are not subject to the
six-month cancellation clause.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company accounts for its fuel hedge
derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in accordance with
SFAS No.&nbsp;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities,&#148; as amended. SFAS No.&nbsp;133
requires the Company to record all financial derivative
instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If a derivative is designated as a hedge, the
fair market value is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
Changes in the fair value of the hedge that are considered to be
effective, as defined, are recorded in &#147;Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income.&#148; These deferred gains and losses are
recognized in income in the period in which the related aircraft
fuel is purchased. Any portion of a change in a
derivative&#146;s fair value that is considered to be
ineffective, as defined, is recorded immediately in &#147;Other
income (expense)&#148; in the consolidated statement of
operation. Any portion of a change in a derivative&#146;s fair
value that the Company excludes from its measurement of
effectiveness is required to be recorded immediately in earnings.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company is exposed to the effect of changes
in the price and availability of aircraft fuel to the extent
such exposure is not passed through to its revenue-guarantee
code-share partners. Currently approximately 84% of the
Company&#146;s fuel costs are associated with the Company&#146;s
America West, United, Frontier and US Airways (regional jet)
revenue-guarantee code-share agreements, thus these companies
bear the risk of increases in the Company&#146;s fuel costs
under these agreements. From time-to-time the Company utilizes
financial derivative instruments as a hedge to mitigate its
exposure to the remaining (at risk) aircraft fuel cost. Because
aircraft fuel is not traded on organized futures exchanges,
liquidity for aircraft fuel hedging is limited. However, the
airline industry has found that heating oil contracts are
effective instruments for hedging aircraft fuel. The Company
does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company
held no fuel hedge derivative instruments. Included in fuel
expense is a gain of $0.2&nbsp;million related to hedging
activities for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2003. There was
no hedging activity in 2002 or 2001.

<FONT size="2">In January 1997, the Company entered into a
10-year engine maintenance contract with General Electric
Aircraft Engines (&#147;GE&#148;) for its CRJ-200 aircraft. The
agreement was subsequently amended in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003. The amended contract requires a monthly payment
based upon the prior month&#146;s flight hours incurred by the
covered engines. The hourly rate increases over time based upon
the engine overhaul costs that are expected to be incurred in
that year and is subject to escalation based on changes in
certain price indices. Maintenance expense is recognized based
upon the product of flight hours flown and the rate in effect
for the period. The contract also provides for a fixed number of
engine overhauls per year. To the extent that the number of
actual overhauls is less than the fixed number, GE is required
to issue to Mesa a credit for the number of events less than the
fixed number multiplied by an agreed upon price. To the extent
that the number of actual overhauls is greater than the fixed
number, Mesa is required to pay GE for the number of events
greater than the fixed number multiplied by the same agreed upon
price.

operational assumptions and may vary if the engines are operated
differently than these assumptions. The rate is also subject to

maintenance for the Company&#146;s Beechcraft 1900D turboprop
engines. The contract requires a monthly payment based upon
flight hours incurred by the covered aircraft. The hourly rate
is subject to annual adjustment based on changes in certain
price indices and is guaranteed to increase by no less than 1.5%
per year. Maintenance expense is recognized based upon the
product of flight hours flown and the rate in effect for the
period. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold certain
assets of its Desert Turbine Services unit, as well as all spare
PT6 engines to PWC. The agreement covers all of the
Company&#146;s Beechcraft 1900D turboprop aircraft and engines.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company was required to prepay
$6.8&nbsp;million in future maintenance costs to PWC. The
prepayment is being amortized to expense over the term of the
agreement. The agreement also contains a termination clause and
look back provision to provide for any shortfall between the
cost of maintenance incurred by the provider and the amount paid
up to the termination date by the Company and provides for
return of a pro-rated share of the prepaid amount upon early
termination. The Company does not anticipate an early

<FONT size="2">The preparation of the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America

at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could

maker in deciding the allocation of resources and assessing
performance. The Company has four airline operating
subsidiaries, Mesa Airlines, Freedom Airlines, Air Midwest and
CCAir and various other subsidiaries organized to provide
support for the Company&#146;s airline operations. The Company
has aggregated these operating segments into four reportable
segments. Mesa Airlines and Freedom primarily operate the
Company&#146;s regional jets. Air Midwest operates the
Company&#146;s Beech 1900D turboprop aircraft. CCAir, prior to
ceasing operations, operated a mixed fleet of turboprop
aircraft. The Other reportable segment includes Mesa Air Group,
RAS, MPD, MAG-AIM, MAGI and UFLY, all of which support
Mesa&#146;s operating subsidiaries.

<FONT size="2">In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS
No.&nbsp;148, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.&#148; This statement
amends SFAS No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation&#148; to provide alternative methods of transition
for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based
method of accounting of stock-based employee compensation. It
also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123 to
require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net
income of an entity&#146;s accounting policy decisions with
respect to stock-based employee compensation. This statement
also amends APB Opinion No.&nbsp;28, &#147;Interim Financial
Reporting,&#148; to require disclosure about those effects in
interim financial statements. SFAS No.&nbsp;148 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years ending after
December&nbsp;15, 2002. The Company has elected not to
voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based compensation at this time but has adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No.&nbsp;148.

<FONT size="2">In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;149,
&#147;Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities.&#148; The amendments set forth in Statement
149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with
comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. In
particular, this statement clarifies under what circumstances a
contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic
of a derivative as discussed in Statement 133. In addition, it
clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that
warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.
Statement 149 amends certain other existing pronouncements.
Those changes will result in more consistent reporting of
contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain
embedded derivatives that warrant separate accounting. The
pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June&nbsp;30, 2003. The guidance should be
applied prospectively. The adoption of

<FONT size="2">In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;150,
&#147;Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.&#148; This
statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of
both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify
a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability
(or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective
for financial instruments entered into or modified after
May&nbsp;31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning
of the first interim period beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003.
The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;150 did not have a material impact
on the Company&#146;s results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.

<FONT size="2">In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial
Interpretation (&#147;FIN&#148;) No.&nbsp;45,
&#147;Guarantor&#146;s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others.&#148; This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures
to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain
guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a
guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and
initial measurement provisions of this interpretation are
applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified after December&nbsp;31, 2002. The disclosure
requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial
statements of interim or annual periods ending after
December&nbsp;15, 2002. The adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

<FONT size="2">In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No.&nbsp;46,
&#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.&#148; FIN 46
requires that companies that control another entity through
interests other than voting interests should consolidate the
controlled entity. FIN 46 is effective for variable interest
entities created after January&nbsp;31, 2003 and to any variable
interest entities in which the Company obtains an interest after
that date. FIN 46 is effective for the interim or annual periods
ending after December&nbsp;15, 2003 for variable interest
entities in which the Company held a variable interest that it
acquired before February&nbsp;1, 2003. The adoption has not and
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result of the large financial losses
attributed to the terrorist attacks on the United States that
occurred on September&nbsp;11, 2001, the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America passed, and the
President signed into law H.R. 2926, the Air Transportation
Safety and System Stabilization Act (the &#147;Airline
Stabilization Act&#148;). The intent of the Airline
Stabilization Act was to preserve the continued viability of the
United States air transportation system by providing support to
passenger airlines in the form of grant money, loan guarantees,
and assistance with increased insurance costs.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The terrorist attacks of September&nbsp;11, 2001
had a significant impact on the Company. Following the attacks,
the air transportation system was temporarily shut down,
resulting in the cancellation of more than 3,300 Mesa Air Group
flights. The cancelled flights and loss of consumer confidence
in the airline industry resulted in lost revenue from these
cancelled flights and lower load factors and revenue yield on
flights operated. The Company was also impacted by the costs
incurred during the temporary shutdown that could not be
avoided, the write down of receivables related to the
Company&#146;s code-share partners as well as the resulting
impairment and restructuring charges.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In September 2001, the Company recorded as
non-operating income $14.7&nbsp;million associated with amounts
claimed under the Airline Stabilization Act. In June 2003, the
Company finalized its claim with the Department of
Transportation (&#147;DOT&#148;). As such, included in other
expense is approximately $4.1&nbsp;million, which included
approximately $2.3&nbsp;million the Company had recorded as a
receivable and the $1.8&nbsp;million the Company agreed to
return to the DOT. Amounts to be returned to the DOT are payable
in six monthly installments of $0.3&nbsp;million beginning in
July 2003.

Furthermore, by taking a short position in other airline&#146;s

downturns in the airline industry. Unlike traditional investing
where the investor&#146;s risk is limited to the amount of their

Credit</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In December 2000, the Company entered into an
agreement with Fleet Capital for a $35&nbsp;million line of
credit, collateralized by the Company&#146;s inventory and
receivables. The agreement contained a financial covenant that
required the maintenance of certain financial ratios related to
fixed charge coverage and total debt to capital. The Company was
in compliance with these covenants at September&nbsp;30, 2003.
The Company had $16.1&nbsp;million in letters of credit
outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2003, which reduced the amount
available under the line of credit with Fleet. There were no
other amounts outstanding under this facility at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. Based upon available collateral,
$9.8&nbsp;million remained available under the line at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The agreement expires in December 2003
and will not be renewed. As of December&nbsp;8, 2003,
$8.8&nbsp;million in letters of credit remained outstanding,
which the Company has cash collateralized with Fleet. Upon
termination of the agreement, the collateralization of these
letters of credits results in the Company having restricted cash.

<FONT size="2">The Company accounts for aircraft purchase
incentives provided by the aircraft manufacturers as deferred
credits. These credits are amortized over the life of the
related lease as a reduction of lease expense, which is included
in flight operations in the statements of operations. Deferred
credits include the value of aircraft purchase incentives, such
as credits that may be used to purchase spare parts, pay for
training expenses or reduce other aircraft operating costs. In
addition, during May 2001, Mesa restructured various past
contractual claims it had against Bombardier Regional Aircraft
Division. Under this restructuring, Mesa initially received
$25.2&nbsp;million and received $1.1&nbsp;million per month
through April 2003 to resolve these outstanding claims. These
amounts are included in deferred credits at September&nbsp;30,
2003.

<FONT size="2">In June 2003, the Company completed the private
placement of senior convertible notes (collectively, the
&#147;Notes&#148;) due 2023, which resulted in gross proceeds of
$100.1&nbsp;million to the Company. Cash interest is payable on
the Notes at a rate of 2.4829% per year on the principal amount
at maturity, payable semiannually in arrears on June&nbsp;16 and
December&nbsp;16 of each year, beginning December&nbsp;16, 2003,
until June&nbsp;16, 2008. After that date, the Company will not
pay cash interest on the Notes prior to maturity, and the Notes
will begin accruing compounded interest at a rate of 6.25% until
maturity. On June&nbsp;16, 2023, the maturity date of the Notes,
the principal amount of each note will be $1,000. The aggregate
amount due at maturity, including interest accrued from
June&nbsp;16, 2008, will be $252&nbsp;million. The Notes and the
note guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank
equally with the Company&#146;s existing and future senior
unsecured indebtedness. The Notes and the note guarantees are
junior to any secured obligations of the Company and any of its
wholly owned subsidiaries to the extent of the collateral
pledged.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Notes are convertible into shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock at a conversion rate of
39.727&nbsp;shares per $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of
the Notes which equals an initial conversion price of
approximately $10.00 per share. This conversion rate is subject
to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders of the Notes may
convert their Notes only if: (i)&nbsp;the sale price of our
common stock exceeds 110% of the accreted conversion price for
at least 20&nbsp;trading days in the 30&nbsp;consecutive trading
days ending on the last trading day of the preceding quarter;

<FONT size="2">Deferred tax assets include benefits expected to
be realized from the utilization of alternative minimum tax
credit carryforwards of approximately $2.2&nbsp;million that do
not expire and consolidated federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $37.7&nbsp;million that expire in
years 2018 through 2022. The Company also has other federal net
operating losses of $7.4&nbsp;million that have limits on their
annual usage that expire in 2017. During 2002, the Company
established a valuation allowance of $0.7&nbsp;million for
certain state net operating loss carryforwards that expired in
2003 or are expected to expire unutilized in the future.
Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon
generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of any
net operating loss carryforwards. Although realization is not
assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the
recorded deferred tax asset, net of the valuation allowance
provided, will be realized.

agreement with Raytheon Aircraft Company (the &#147;Raytheon
Agreement&#148;) to, among other things, reduce the operating
costs of the Company&#146;s Beechcraft 1900D fleet. In
connection with the Raytheon Agreement and subject to the terms
and conditions contained therein, Raytheon agreed to provide up
to $5.5&nbsp;million in annual operating subsidy payments to the
Company contingent upon the Company remaining current on its
payment obligations to Raytheon. Approximately $5.3&nbsp;million
and $6.0&nbsp;million (which included $0.7&nbsp;million relating
to 2001) was recorded as a reduction to flight operations,
maintenance and interest expense during 2003 and 2002,
respectively. In return, the Company granted Raytheon a warrant
to purchase up to 233,068 shares of our common stock at a per
share exercise price of $10.00. The Company recorded the
issuance of these warrants at a value of $0.4&nbsp;million
within stockholders&#146; equity as a debit and credit to common
stock and therefore the amounts net to zero. The contra equity
value of these warrants is being amortized to expense over the

2003 and 44,866 shares in fiscal year 2004. As of

<FONT size="2">In June 2003, the Company completed the private
placement of senior convertible notes (the &#147;Notes&#148;)
due 2023. At maturity, the principal amount of each note will be
$1,000 and the aggregate amount due will be $252&nbsp;million.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company&#146;s
common stock at a conversion rate of 39.727 shares per $1,000 in
principal amount at maturity of the Notes which equals an
initial conversion price of approximately $10.00 per share. This
conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. Holders of the Notes may convert their notes only
if: (i)&nbsp;the sale price of our common stock exceeds 110% of
the accreted conversion price for at least 20 trading days in
the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day
of the preceding quarter; (ii)&nbsp;prior to June&nbsp;16, 2018,
the trading price for the Notes falls below certain thresholds;
(iii)&nbsp;the Notes have been called for redemption; or
(iv)&nbsp;specified corporate transactions occur. The Company
may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on
June&nbsp;16, 2008, at a redemption price equal to the issue
price, plus accrued original issue discount, plus any accrued
and unpaid cash interest. The holders of the Notes may require
the Company to repurchase the Notes on June&nbsp;16, 2008 at a
price of $397.27 per note plus accrued and unpaid cash interest,
if any, on June&nbsp;16, 2013 at a price of $540.41 per note

<FONT size="2">The Company has a 401(k) plan covering the
employees of Mesa Airlines, Air Midwest and the airline support
operations (the &#147;Mesa Plan&#148;). Under the Mesa Plan,
employees may contribute up to 15&nbsp;percent of their annual
compensation, as defined. Employer contributions are made at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2003, the
Company made matching contributions of 25&nbsp;percent of
employee contributions up to 10&nbsp;percent of annual employee
compensation. Upon completing one year of service, the employee
is 20&nbsp;percent vested in employer contributions and the
remainder of the employer contributions vest 20&nbsp;percent per
year thereafter. Employees become fully vested in employer
contributions after completing five years of employment. The
Company has the right to terminate the 401(k) plan at any time.
Contributions by the Company to the Mesa Plan for the years
ended September&nbsp;30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately
$0.7&nbsp;million, $0.3&nbsp;million and $0.9&nbsp;million,
respectively.

<FONT size="2">CCAir also had a 401(k) plan covering the
employees of CCAir. The plan was terminated and the assets were
distributed to the participants on September&nbsp;12, 2003. All
employees became 100% vested when CCAir ceased operations in
November 2002. Contributions by CCAir to this plan were
approximately $0.1&nbsp;million and $0.2&nbsp;million in fiscal
2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no contributions by
CCAir in 2003.

<FONT size="2">At September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company leased
121 aircraft under non-cancelable operating leases with
remaining terms of up to 17&nbsp;years. The aircraft leases
require the Company to pay all taxes, maintenance, insurance and
other operating expenses. The Company has the option to
terminate certain of the leases at various times throughout the
lease. At September&nbsp;30, 2003, six&nbsp;CRJ-700 and
four&nbsp;CRJ-900 aircraft are subject to interim financing
agreements. The Company expects to replace these interim
arrangements with long-term operating leases and, accordingly,
requirements under the interim arrangements are included in the
minimum lease commitment table below. Aggregate rental expense
totaled approximately $136.1&nbsp;million, $109.1&nbsp;million
and $87.4&nbsp;million for the years ended September&nbsp;30,
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

<FONT size="2">In June 1999, Mesa entered into an agreement with
Empresa Brasiliera de Aeronautica SA (&#147;Embraer&#148;) to
acquire 36&nbsp;Embraer ERJ-145 50-passenger regional jets. As
of September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company had taken delivery of
32&nbsp;ERJ-145 aircraft, which have been financed as operating
leases. The Company took delivery of the remaining four aircraft
in December 2003. In conjunction with this purchase agreement,
Mesa had $4.2&nbsp;million remaining on deposit with Embraer
that was included in lease and equipment deposits at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The remaining deposit was returned upon
delivery of the last four aircraft.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In May 2001, the Company entered into an
agreement with Bombardier Regional Aircraft Division
(&#147;BRAD&#148;) under which the Company is now committed to
purchase a total of 15&nbsp;CRJ-700s and 25&nbsp;CRJ-900s. The
transaction includes standard product support provisions,
including training, preferred pricing on initial inventory
provisioning, maintenance and technical publications. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2003, the Company has taken delivery of all
15&nbsp;CRJ-700 aircraft and six&nbsp;CRJ-900 aircraft and
anticipates taking delivery of the remaining 19&nbsp;CRJ-900
aircraft in fiscal 2004. In addition to the firm orders, Mesa
has an option to acquire an additional 80&nbsp;CRJ-700 and
CRJ-900 regional jets. In conjunction with this purchase
agreement, Mesa had $15.0&nbsp;million on deposit with BRAD that
was included in lease and equipment deposits at
September&nbsp;30, 2003. The remaining deposits are expected to
be returned on a pro rata basis in equal amounts upon completion
of permanent financing on each of the last five aircraft
($3.0&nbsp;million per aircraft).

21&nbsp;passengers and crew members aboard the Beechcraft 1900D
aircraft. The Company is cooperating fully with all federal,
state and local regulatory and investigatory agencies to
ascertain the cause of the crash. The Company is unable to
predict the amount of claims, if any, relating to the crash
which may ultimately be made against it and how those claims
might be resolved. The Company maintains substantial insurance
coverage and, at this time, management has no reason to believe
that such insurance coverage will not be sufficient to cover any
claims arising from the crash. Therefore, the Company believes
that the resolution of any claims will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. The Company is unable to predict the extent of
any adverse effect on its revenues, yields or results of
operations which may result from the public perception of the
crash of Flight&nbsp;5481.

<FONT size="2">The Company is also involved in various other
legal proceedings and FAA civil action proceedings that the
Company does not believe will have a material adverse effect
upon the Company&#146;s business, financial condition or results
of operations, although no assurance can be given to the
ultimate outcome of any such proceedings.

<FONT size="2">The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and other
liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturity
periods of these instruments. The fair value of securities is
based on quoted marked prices (see note&nbsp;4). The carrying
value of the Company&#146;s long-term debt approximates fair
value based on the current terms offered for debt of the same or
similar remaining maturities.

impairment charge of $3.3&nbsp;million. In fiscal 2003, the
Company returned the three remaining B1900D aircraft permitted
under its agreement with Raytheon, and as a result of additional
costs required of meeting the return conditions of these and
previous aircraft, the Company recorded an additional impairment
charge of $1.1&nbsp;million.

$0.7&nbsp;million of severance and other employee related
liabilities. Once operations ceased, CCAir stopped making lease
payments on its fleet of Dash 8&#150;100 aircraft. CCAir
subsequently returned the aircraft to the lessors. At the time
of the shutdown, it was the Company&#146;s intention to maintain
the legal entity of CCAir as well as its operating certificate
with the possibility of either restructuring the airline and
operating it under amended labor agreements in the future or
affecting a sale of CCAir.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In fiscal 2003, CCAir surrendered its operating
certificate to the FAA and filed articles of dissolution with
the State of Delaware. As a result of these events and
CCAir&#146;s lack of liquidity, it became clear that CCAir would
be unable to pay any of its obligations. In fiscal 2003, in
light of CCAir&#146;s inability to pay its obligations and the
resulting dissolution, the Company reversed the restructuring
charges recorded in fiscal 2002 by approximately
$12&nbsp;million. The reversal of these charges was precipitated
by the dissolution of CCAir and the Company&#146;s subsequent
determination, after consultation with counsel, that the Company
should not be held legally responsible for the obligations
incurred solely by CCAir and not guaranteed by the Company.
Including these charges and reversals, CCAir had after tax net
income of $8.3 million and an after tax net loss of
($21.2)&nbsp;million for the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2003
and 2002, respectively.

Shorts 360 aircraft the Company had been subleasing to an
operator in Europe expired and the Company did not anticipate
the lease to be renewed. As a result, the Company took a charge
for $3.6&nbsp;million to accrue for the remaining lease payments
and the future costs of returning these aircraft to the lessor.
The remaining restructuring reserves are primarily related to
the remaining lease payments and the future costs of returning
these two aircraft.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;6, 2003, the Company announced
that it had made an unsolicited proposal to the board of
directors of Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc.
(&#147;Atlantic Coast&#148;) to acquire all the outstanding
stock of Atlantic Coast whereby the Company would issue 0.9 of a
share of its common stock for each Atlantic Coast share. In
connection with such proposal, the Company, on October&nbsp;15,
2003, filed with the SEC the necessary documents to commence a
shareholder consent solicitation to replace Atlantic
Coast&#146;s current board of directors with independent
directors who we believe will give fair consideration to our
proposal and announced its intention to make an exchange offer
for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Atlantic Coast
subject to certain conditions. We believe that our nominees, if
elected, would take such action, to the event that it is in the
best interest of the Atlantic Coast stockholders to
(i)&nbsp;remove the impediments to the consideration of the
Company&#146;s exchange offer/merger proposal and any
alternative proposals arising pursuant to that certain Rights
Agreement dated as of January&nbsp;27, 1999 between Atlantic
Coast and Continental Stock Transfer &#38; Trust Company, and
(ii)&nbsp;exempt the Company&#146;s exchange offer/merger
proposal, or any other alternative transaction from the
restrictions of Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. We also intended to file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-4 with respect to the
issuance of our common stock in connection with the offer to
exchange Mesa shares directly with Atlantic Coast shareholders.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In connection with our proposal, several lawsuits
have been filed. On October&nbsp;27, 2003, Atlantic Coast filed
a complaint against Mesa in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia alleging that Mesa has made materially
false and misleading statements and omissions in violation of
the federal securities laws in connection with its proposed
consent solicitation and potential exchange offer. Atlantic
Coast&#146;s complaint alleges, among other things, that
(i)&nbsp;Mesa failed to disclose Untied Airlines as a
participant in its consent solicitation and proposed
transaction; (ii)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s bid to acquire all of
Atlantic Coast&#146;s outstanding stock is motivated by its
desire to use Atlantic Coast&#146;s cash on hand to resolve
Mesa&#146;s difficulties in obtaining financing for additional
aircraft purchases; (iii)&nbsp;Mesa CEO Jonathan Ornstein and
other Mesa insiders sold a substantial number of Mesa shares in
September 2003, shortly before Mesa announced its takeover bid
of Atlantic Coast; (iv)&nbsp;other stock transactions produced
short-swing profits subject to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires a
corporate insider to disgorge any profit from such transactions;
(v)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s directors, who have determined that an
acquisition of Atlantic Coast would be in Mesa&#146;s best
interest and are proposing a transaction in which the
stockholders of Atlantic Coast would receive shares of Mesa
common stock, are not sufficiently independent and have engaged
in self-dealing; and (vi)&nbsp;several of Mesa&#146;s nominees
to Atlantic Coast&#146;s board of directors are subject to
conflicts of interest that would impair their ability to fulfill
their fiduciary obligations to Atlantic Coast. Atlantic Coast in

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">seeks injunctive relief with respect to its
allegations. Atlantic Coast in its complaint seeks to
(i)&nbsp;obtain a declaration that Mesa&#146;s consent statement
as well as its other statements in conjunction with its proposed
consent solicitation violate Section&nbsp;14(a) of the Exchange
Act and SEC Rule&nbsp;14a-9; (ii)&nbsp;obtain a declaration that
Mesa&#146;s consent statement as well as its other statements in
conjunction with its proposed consent solicitation and exchange
offer violate Section&nbsp;14(e) of the Exchange Act;
(iii)&nbsp;require Mesa to correct any alleged material
misstatements and omissions; (iv)&nbsp;enjoin Mesa from
disseminating its consent statement; and (v)&nbsp;enjoin Mesa
from making a proxy consent solicitation and/or tender offer to
Atlantic Coast&#146;s stockholders.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;29, 2003, Mesa filed a lawsuit in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking to
require the Atlantic Coast Board to comply with the proper
procedures under Delaware law and the Atlantic Coast by-laws
with respect to fixing a record date for the consent
solicitation and commencing the 60-day solicitation period. The
lawsuit alleges that the action taken by the Atlantic Coast
board to set a record date of October&nbsp;23, 2003 impedes
Atlantic Coast&#146;s shareholders&#146; ability to exercise
their voting rights and right to receive superior value for
their shares. Mesa is seeking from the Court, among other
things, an order for declaratory and injunctive relief declaring
that the October&nbsp;23, 2003 record date is invalid; declaring
that the consent solicitation has not yet commenced; and
enjoining Atlantic Coast from fixing a record date or declaring
that the consent solicitation has commenced.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;25, 2003 and December&nbsp;2,
2003, Atlantic Coast announced respectively (i)&nbsp;that the
consent it received had been revoked and (ii)&nbsp;the
cancellation of the record date previously set in connection
with Mesa&#146;s consent solicitation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;26, 2003, Atlantic Coast amended
its complaint. The amended complaint, in addition to the
allegations contained in its initial complaint filed on
October&nbsp;27, 2003, claims that (i)&nbsp;United Airlines and
Mesa acted in concert and conspired in violation of
Section&nbsp;1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and
(ii)&nbsp;Mesa&#146;s attempt to acquire Atlantic Coast is in
violation of Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act. Atlantic Coast
simultaneously filed a motion for a preliminary injunction that

<FONT size="2">On November&nbsp;30, 2003, Mesa filed a
counterclaim against Atlantic Coast. Mesa&#146;s counterclaim
alleges that Atlantic Coast&#146;s preliminary proxy statement
and other public statements made in connection with Mesa&#146;s
consent solicitation and Atlantic Coast&#146;s business model of
becoming an independent low-fare airline are materially false
and misleading, in violation of Section&nbsp;14(a) of the
Exchange Act.

<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;8, 2003, the Corporation Counsel
for the District of Columbia initiated an antitrust
investigation to determine whether Mesa&#146;s proposed
acquisition of Atlantic Coast violates Section&nbsp;1 of the
Sherman Act or Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act or the District
of Columbia Antitrust Act. Mesa intends to fully comply with
this inquiry.

<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;18, 2003, the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia enjoined us from
proceeding with our consent solicitation and our exchange offer
pending final resolution of Atlantic Coast&#146;s antitrust
claims against Mesa. On December&nbsp;19, 2003, the United
States Department of Justice initiated an antitrust
investigation to determine whether Mesa&#146;s proposed
acquisition of Atlantic Coast violates Section&nbsp;1 of the
Sherman Act or Section&nbsp;7 of the Clayton Act. Mesa intends
to fully comply with this inquiry. On December&nbsp;23, 2003,
Mesa announced that it would not be moving forward with either
its proposed consent solicitation or exchange offer for Atlantic
Coast.

<FONT size="2">As of the end of the period covered by this
report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the periodic reports filed or
submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission&#146;s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the annual period
covered by this report but also concluded that these are certain
weaknesses in our expendable and rotable parts area that could
be improved upon. We are dedicating resources to correct these
issues and are in the process of implementing the necessary
corrections. No change in the internal control over financial
reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the
internal control over financial reporting.

                               FIRST AMENDMENT TO
             MESA AIR GROUP, INC. 2001 KEY OFFICER STOCK OPTION PLAN

         This First Amendment to Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the "Company") 2001 Key
Officer Stock Option Plan October 30, 2001 (the "Plan") is entered into as of
October 23, 2003 for the purpose of amending the Plan.

         RECITALS:

         (a)      On October 30, 2001, the Company adopted the Plan for the
purpose of compensating the chief executive officer of the Company ("CEO") and
the president and chief operating officer of the Company ("COO", together with
the CEO, the "Key Officers"), inducing the entry of Key Officers into employment
agreements (as to each, their "Employment Agreement") or otherwise to induce
them to remain as employees of the Company, and in either event to provide an
incentive for them to improve the Company's performance. Additionally, the
Company adopted the Plan in order to attract and retain the caliber of officers
necessary to operate the Company in today's competitive environment.

         (b)      With respect to Options granted to a person subject to Rule
16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor rule ("Rule
16b-3"), unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee granting such
Options shall be the entire Board or shall be comprised solely of two or more
"non-employee directors" as defined by Rule 16b-3. With respect to Options
granted to a "covered employee" under Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section
162(m)"), unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee granting such
Options shall be comprised solely of two or more "outside directors" as defined
by Section 162(m). With respect to Options granted to a person subject to both
Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m), unless otherwise determined by the Board, all
grants will be made in a manner that complies with both Rule 16b-3 and Section
162(m). The Committee shall be so constituted at all times as to permit the Plan
to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule.

         (c)      Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 which amended
Section 13 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provided,
in part, that it is unlawful for an issuer (as defined in Section 2 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act) from directly or indirectly, including through any
subsidiary, to extend or maintain credit, to arrange for the extension of
credit, or to renew an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or
for any director or executive officer (or equivalent thereof) of that issuer.

         AGREEMENT:

         1. Section 5(d) shall be amended as follows:

         Subsection (iii) shall be deleted in its entirely from Section 5(d),
and any and all subsections thereafter shall be renumbered accordingly.

                       2001 KEY OFFICER STOCK OPTION PLAN

1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN; TYPE OF PLAN

         (a)      Establishment and General Purpose. Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the
                  "Company") hereby establishes the 2001 Key Officer Stock
                  Option Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to
                  compensate the chief executive officer of the Company ("CEO")
                  and the president and chief operating officer of the Company
                  ("COO," together with the CEO, the "Key Officers") with stock
                  options ("Options") to induce their entry into employment
                  agreements (as to each, their "Employment Agreement") or
                  otherwise to induce them to remain as employees of the
                  Company, and in either event to provide an incentive for them
                  to improve the Company's performance. Without the Plan, the
                  Board does not believe it can attract and retain the caliber
                  of officers necessary to operate the Company in today's
                  competitive environment. An extremely competitive market
                  currently exists for senior executive officers and valuable
                  stock options owned by senior management of competitors of the
                  Company make a generous stock option plan necessary to attract
                  and retain officers.

         (b)      Designation of Stock Options as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
                  Options granted under the Plan shall not be treated as
                  incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal
                  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

2.       ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         (a)      Creation of the Committee. This Plan will be administered by a
                  committee of persons (hereinafter, the "Committee") as chosen
                  by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The
                  Committee will generally consist of one or more members of the
                  Board. If a Committee does not exist, or for any other reason
                  determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under
                  the Plan that otherwise would be the responsibility of the
                  Committee.

         (b)      Composition of Committee. With respect to Options granted to a
                  person subject to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
                  1934 or any successor rule ("Rule 16b-3"), unless otherwise
                  determined by the Board, the Committee granting such Options
                  shall be the entire Board or shall be comprised solely of two
                  or more "non-employee directors" as defined by Rule 16b-3.
                  With respect to Options granted to a "covered employee" under
                  Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)"), unless
                  otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee granting such
                  Options shall be comprised solely of two or more "outside
                  directors" as defined by Section 162(m). With respect to
                  Options granted to a person subject to both Rule 16b-3 and
                  Section 162(m), unless otherwise determined by the Board, all
                  grants will be made in a manner that complies with

<PAGE>

                  both Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m). The Committee shall be so
                  constituted at all times as to permit the Plan to comply with
                  Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule.

         (c)      Power and Authority of Committee. The Committee will have
                  authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish,
                  amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the
                  Plan, to decide all questions and settle all controversies and
                  disputes which may arise in connection with the Plan, and to
                  make all other determinations that may be necessary or
                  advisable for the administration of the Plan.

3.       STOCK AND MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

         (a)      Description of Stock and Maximum Shares Allocated. The stock
                  subject to the provisions of this Plan and issuable upon
                  exercise of the Options are shares of the Company's common
                  stock ("Common Stock"), no par value, which may be either
                  unissued or treasury shares, as the Board may from time to
                  time determine. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section
                  7, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by
                  the Plan issuable upon exercise of all Options shall be
                  2,000,000 shares, which shares shall be reserved for issuance
                  upon the exercise of the Options. The maximum number of shares
                  that will be subject to Options granted under the Plan to any
                  Key Officer during any calendar year will be as set forth in
                  Section 4(b)(i) and (ii), subject to adjustment as described
                  in Section 7. (The shares available for Options under this
                  Plan and all other shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
                  be referred to herein as the "Shares.") lf the exercise price
                  of any Option is satisfied by tendering Shares to the Company,
                  only that number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered
                  shall be considered issued and delivered for purposes of
                  determining the maximum number of Shares available for
                  issuance under this Section.

         (b)      Restoration of Unpurchased Shares. If an Option expires or
                  terminates for any reason prior to its exercise in full before
                  the term of the Plan expires, the Shares subject to, but not
                  issued under, such Option shall again be available for other
                  Options hereafter granted.

4.       OPERATION OF THE PLAN

                           CEO's Employment Agreement remains in effect. The

<PAGE>

                           grant of any Options to the CEO in excess of such
                           number of Options will require the approval of the
                           Committee.

                  (ii)     COO. One hundred thousand (100,000) Options shall be
                           granted to the COO on January 1, 2002, and on January
                           1 of each successive calendar year in which the COO's
                           Employment Agreement remains in effect. The grant of
                           any Options to the COO in excess of such number of
                           Options will require the approval of the Committee.

                           day on which trading in the Shares is closed, the
                           action which would have taken place on such Grant
                           Date shall be delayed until the first day after the
                           scheduled Grant Date that trading in the Shares
                           commences.

                  (iv)     Each of the dates on which Options are granted under
                           this Section 4(b) shall be referred to herein as a
                           "Grant Date."

         (c)      Price. The Option price per Share shall be equal to the fair
                  market value of the underlying Shares on the Grant Date, as
                  determined under Section 4(d) below.

         (d)      Fair Market Value. The fair market value of Shares underlying
                  Options granted on any particular Grant Date shall be
                  determined as follows:

                  (i)      If the Shares are listed or admitted to trading on
                           any securities exchange, the fair market value shall
                           be the average sales price on such day on the New
                           York Stock Exchange, or if the Shares have not been
                           listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock
                           Exchange, on such other securities exchange on which
                           such stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or
                           if no sale takes place on such day on any such
                           exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked
                           price on such day as officially quoted on any such
                           exchange;

                  (ii)     If the Shares are not then listed or admitted to
                           trading on any securities exchange, the fair market
                           value shall be the average sales price on such day
                           or, if no sale takes place on such day, the average
                           of the reported closing bid and asked price on such
                           date, in the over-the-counter market as furnished by
                           the National A-2 39 Association of Securities Dealers
                           Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ"), or if NASDAQ at the
                           time is not engaged in the business of reporting such
                           prices, as furnished by any similar firm then engaged
                           in such business and selected by the Committee; or

                  (iii)    If the Shares are not then listed or admitted to
                           trading in the over-the counter market, the fair
                           market value shall be the amount determined by the
                           Committee in a manner consistent with Treasury
                           Regulation Section

                                      -3-

                           20.2031-2 promulgated under the Code or in such other
                           manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or
                           the Internal Revenue Service.

         (e)      Duration of Plan; Term of Options. The term of the Plan,

                  shall be granted under the Plan unless granted within five
                  years after the adoption of the Plan by the Board, but Options
                  outstanding on the date the Plan terminates shall not be
                  terminated or otherwise affected by virtue of the Plan's
                  expiration. Except as otherwise indicated in Section 6, all
                  Options automatically expire ten years from the Grant Date.

                           Key Officer, the fair market value of which (as
                           determined under Section 4(d)) equals the purchase
                           price of the Shares purchased pursuant to the Option,
                           properly endorsed for transfer to the Company, but
                           Shares used for this purpose must have been held by
                           the Key Officer for at least six months, or for such
                           other minimum period as may be established from time
                           to time by the Committee; or

                  (v)      with the surrender of vested Options which have a
                           "spread" equal to the amount of payment (with the
                           spread to be determined by the difference between the
                           fair market value of the common stock that is subject
                           to the Option that is being surrendered, as
                           determined in Section 3(d) of the Plan, and the
                           exercise price of the Option being surrendered).

                  The Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates
                  representing the Option Shares to the purchaser as soon as
                  practicable after payment for those Shares has been received.
                  If an Option is exercised by any person other than the Option
                  holder, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof
                  of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares
                  that are purchased and paid for in full upon the exercise of
                  an Option shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

         (e)      No Rights of a Shareholder. A Key Officer shall have no rights
                  as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Option
                  until such Option is exercised and a certificate for the
                  underlying Shares is issued. Upon such exercise of an Option
                  and issuance of a stock certificate, the holder of the Shares
                  of Common Stock so received shall have all the rights of a
                  shareholder of the Company. No adjustment will be made for
                  cash dividends for which the record date is prior to the date
                  a stock certificate is issued upon exercise of an Option.

         (f)      Registration Rights. Each grant of Options pursuant to this
                  Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time
                  counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing,
                  registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such
                  Option upon

                                      -5-

                  any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
                  the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory
                  body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with,
                  the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, such Option may
                  not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
                  registration, qualification, consent or approval have been
                  effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the
                  Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees:
                  (i) to keep in effect a registration statement under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor statute)
                  (the "1933 Act") with respect to the Shares underlying the
                  Options for as long as any of the Options remain unexercised;
                  (ii) to keep in effect a registration statement under the 1933
                  Act with respect to the resale of any such Shares, to the
                  extent necessary to permit the Key Officer or any transferee
                  of the Key Officer's Shares (acquired pursuant to an Option)
                  to resell such Shares without any restrictions on the resale
                  of such Shares under the 1933 Act; (iii) to comply with any
                  registration or similar requirements under the laws of any
                  state to the extent necessary to permit the Key Officer or any
                  transferee of the Key Officer with respect to such Shares to
                  resell such Shares without any restrictions on the resale of
                  such Shares under such laws and regulations; (iv) to comply
                  with all state and federal laws and regulations regarding
                  disclosure, so as to permit the Key Officer and any transferee
                  of the Key Officer to resell the Shares underlying the Options
                  without liability under such laws and regulations; and (v) to
                  cause all Shares underlying any Option to be listed or
                  admitted to trading on any securities exchange on which the
                  Shares have been listed or admitted to trading, at the time
                  any Option is exercised.

6.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; ASSIGNABILITY; DEATH

         (a)      Termination of Employment. Except as more specifically
                  provided in Section 6(b), (c), (d) or (e), below, if any Key
                  Officer ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to March
                  14, 2004 (in the case of Ornstein) or January 1, 2004 (in the
                  case of Lotz), such Key Officer may, within three months after
                  the date of such Key Officer's termination of employment (but
                  not after the stated expiration date of an Option), exercise
                  any Option that has become vested prior to the date of such
                  termination. If any Key Officer is employed by the Company for
                  the period beginning with the date this Plan is approved by
                  the Board and ending on March 13, 2004 (in the case of
                  Ornstein) or December 31, 2003 (in the case of Lotz), and
                  thereafter ceases to be an employee of the Company, the
                  expiration date for exercise of the Options held by such Key
                  Employee shall not be earlier than ten years from the Grant
                  Date.

         (b)      Disability. If the Key Officer is removed as an employee of
                  the Company due to Disability (as deemed in such Key Officer's
                  Employment Agreement), any unvested Option shall become fully
                  vested and the Key Officer (or his representative) may
                  exercise the Options, in whole or in part, at any time prior
                  to

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

                  the stated expiration date of the Options, and if such removal
                  occurs prior to March 14,2004 (in the case of Ornstein) or
                  January 1,2004 (in the case of Lotz), the expiration date for
                  exercise of the Options shall not be earlier than ten years
                  from the Grant Date.

         (c)      Discharge for Cause. If a Key Officer is removed as an
                  employee of the Company for Cause (as such term is defined in
                  such Key Officer's Employment Agreement), the Options shall
                  terminate upon the effective date of the removal.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Key Officer is employed
                  by the Company for the period beginning with the date this
                  Plan is approved by the Board and ending on March 13,2004 (in
                  the case of Ornstein) or December 31,2003 (in the case of
                  Lotz), such Key Officer may exercise the Options, in whole or
                  in part, to the extent they were exercisable on the date when
                  the Key Officer's removal was effective, at any time prior to
                  the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date of the Options.

         (d)      Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. If a Key Officer
                  is terminated by the Company without Cause (as such term is
                  defined in such Key Officer's Employment Agreement) or if the
                  Key Officer terminates employment for Good Reason (as such
                  term is defined in such Key Officer's Employment Agreement),
                  any unvested Option held by such Key Officer shall vest
                  immediately, and such Key Officer shall have until the stated
                  expiration date of any Options to exercise them, but if such
                  termination occurs prior to March 14, 2004 (in the case of
                  Ornstein) or January 1,2004 (in the case of Lotz), the
                  expiration date for exercise of the Options shall not be
                  earlier than ten years from the Grant Date.

         (e)      Death of Option Holder. If a Key Officer dies while serving as
                  an employee of the Company, any unvested Option held by such
                  Key Officer shall become fully vested and shall be exercisable
                  until the stated expiration date thereof by the person or
                  persons ("successors") to whom such Key Officer's rights pass
                  under will or by the laws of descent and distribution, but if
                  the Key Officer's death occurs prior to March 14, 2004 (in the
                  case of Ornstein) or January 1, 2004 (in the case of Lotz),
                  the expiration date for exercise of the Options shall not be
                  earlier than ten years from the Grant Date. An Option may be
                  exercised (and payment of the Option price made in full) by
                  the successors only after written notice to the Company,
                  specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice
                  shall comply with the provisions of Section 5(f).

         (f)      Assignability. No Option or the privileges conferred thereby
                  shall be assignable or transferable by a holder except:

                  (i)      by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     to an immediate family member (which for this purpose
                           is defined as a spouse, a child by blood or adoption,
                           a grandchild by blood or adoption, and any trust,
                           partnership, limited liability company, or other
                           entity whose primary beneficiaries include one or
                           more of any such immediate family members) of the Key
                           Officer holding such Option; or

                  (iii)    to an organization exempt from Federal income tax
                           under Section 501(c)(3) or Section 501 (c)(4) of the
                           Code.

         (g)      The provisions of this Section 6 shall be subject to call
                  rights with respect to the Options, if any, that are set forth
                  in the Key Officer's Employment Agreement or in any other
                  agreement between the Key Officer and the Company.

7.       CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

         The aggregate number of Shares subject to the Plan, the number of
Shares covered by outstanding Options, and the price per share stated in such
Options shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a
subdivision or consolidation of Shares or any other capital adjustment or from
the payment of a stock dividend or from any other increase or decrease in the
number of such Shares effected without receipt by the Company of consideration
therefor in money, services or property.

8.       COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

         (a)      Registration Statement Preparation. The Key Officer hereby
                  agrees to supply the Company with such information and to
                  cooperate with the Company, as the Company may reasonably
                  request, in connection with the preparation and filing of the
                  registration statements and amendments thereto under the 1933
                  Act and applicable state statutes and regulations applicable
                  to the Option Shares.

         (b)      Additional Restrictions on Option Exercise. Notwithstanding
                  any provision to the contrary contained herein, a Key Officer
                  may exercise Options only so long as such exercise does not
                  violate the law or any rule or regulation adopted by any
                  applicable governmental authority.

9.       MISCELLANEOUS

         (a)      No Funding. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not
                  be required to establish any special or separate fund or to
                  make any other segregation of assets to assure any payment
                  under the Plan.

         (b)      Nevada Law. The Plan and the Options granted thereunder shall
                  be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.

         (c)      Withholding of Taxes. The Company's obligation to issue Shares
                  upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to the Key
                  Officer's satisfaction of all applicable federal, state, and
                  local income and other .tax withholding requirements.' For
                  these purposes, the Company shall have the right to deduct
                  from any other compensation of the Key Officer any such taxes
                  (including FICA taxes) required by law to be withheld with
                  respect to the granting or exercise of any Options. At the
                  time an Option is exercised by a Key Officer, the Committee,
                  in its sole discretion, may permit the Key Officer to satisfy
                  such, withholding obligations by transferring previously-owned
                  Shares to the Company, or by directing the Company to withhold
                  from Shares otherwise issuable to such Key Officer upon the
                  exercise of the Option. For these purposes, the value of
                  Shares would be determined under Section 3(d) on the date that
                  the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

         (d)      Other Employee Benefits. The amount of any compensation deemed
                  to be received by a Key Officer as a result of the exercise or
                  grant of any Options shall not constitute "earnings" with
                  respect to which any other employee benefits of such Key
                  Officer are determined, including without limitation benefits
                  under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary
                  continuation plan.

         RECITALS:

                  (a)      WHEREAS, on June 19, 1998 the Company adopted the

                           personal interests of its outside directors to those
                           of its shareholders and by providing outside
                           directors with an incentive for outstanding
                           performance. These incentives also provide the
                           Company flexibility in its ability to attract and
                           retain the services of outside directors upon whose

                           shares available for issuance under the Plan from
                           275,000 to 475,000 was previously approved by the

         Company shall be referred to as the "Shares").

         DATED to be effective as of February 15, 2003.

                              MESA AIR GROUP, INC.
                      OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN; TYPE OF PLAN

         (a) Attract and Retain Talented Outside Directors. The purpose of the
Mesa Air Group, Inc. Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to
attract and retain independent directors ("Qualified Directors") who are and
will be responsible for the restructuring, growth and success of Mesa Air Group,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries by providing an
incentive-based form of compensation to the Qualified Directors and encouraging
such Qualified Directors to invest in shares of the Company's Common Stock to
increase the Qualified Directors' personal interest in the success of the
Company. The Plan is also intended to reduce the cash compensation necessary to
attract Qualified Directors.

         (b) Designation of Stock Options as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Stock
options granted under the Plan (the "Options") shall not be treated as incentive
stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").

         (c) Exemption from Short-Swing Liability. Options granted to Qualified
Directors of the Company pursuant to this Plan shall be exempt from Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

         (d) Administration. This Plan may be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") or by any person or persons chosen by a
majority of the Board.

2. STOCK AND MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

         (a) Description of Stock and Maximum Shares Allocated. The stock
subject to the provisions of this Plan and issuable upon exercise of the Options
are shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value, which may be either
unissued or treasury shares, as the Board may from time to time determine.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock covered by the Plan issuable upon exercise of all Options shall
be 150,000 shares, which shares shall be reserved for use upon the exercise of
the Options. (The shares available for Options and all other shares of Common
Stock of the Company shall be referred to as the "Shares.")

         (b) Restoration of Unpurchased Shares. If an Option expires or
terminates for any reason prior to the exercise in full before the term of the
Plan expires, the Shares subject to, but not issued under, such Option shall
again be available for other Options hereafter granted.

3. FORMULA AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN

         (a) Eligible Persons. Options will automatically be granted to all
present and future directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company
or of any subsidiary of the Company ("Qualified Directors").

         (b) Date of Grants; Allocation. Each Qualified Director serving on the
Board of Directors as of April 1, 1998, shall receive (i) 3,000 options to
purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, plus (ii) the number of
options to purchase Common Stock equivalent to a cash value of $13,000 as
calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes valuation method at a risk-free rate of
a ten-year zero coupon bond (collectively referred to herein as the "Formula
Amount") effective as of April 1, 1998. (For example, if the Black-Scholes
valuation method results in a value of $6.50 per option, each Qualified Director
would receive 2,000 options plus the fixed allocation of 3,000 options, or a
total of 5,000 options at the exercise price as set forth below in Section
3(c).) Each Qualified Director shall receive an additional Formula Amount on
each April 1st thereafter or if at any time there is an insufficient number of
options to make the full Formula Amount

<PAGE>

allocation, a pro-rata amount of the remaining options available under the Plan
shall be granted to each Qualified Director.

         Any Qualified Director who was not serving as a director as of April 1,
1998, upon the first business day after being appointed as a director, shall be
granted a pro rata portion of the Formula Amount ("Pro Rata Options") and
Options shall be granted to such Qualified Director on each succeeding April 1
in the Formula Amount. The amount of Pro Rata Options to be granted to each new
Qualified Director shall be calculated by dividing the number of days prior to
April 1 by the number of days in the calendar year and multiplying the quotient
by the Formula Amount.

         Any Qualified Director who is serving as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors shall receive an annual grant of the number of options equal to a
value of $10,000 calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes method as
specified above (the "Chairman's Options") on each April 1st which shall be in
addition to any other options granted to him as a director pursuant to this
Section 3(b). (Each of the dates upon which Options are granted shall be
referred to herein as the "Grant Date.")

         (c) Price. The Option price per Share shall not be less than the fair
market value of the Shares, as defined below, on the Grant Date.

         (d) Fair Market Value. The fair market value of a Share on any
particular day shall be determined as follows:

                  (i) If the Shares are listed or admitted to trading on any
         security exchange, the fair market value shall be the average sales
         price on such day on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Shares have
         not been listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange,
         on such other securities exchange on which such stock is then listed or
         admitted to trading, or if no sale takes place on such day on any such
         exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked price on such day as
         officially quoted on any such exchange;

                  (ii) If the Shares are not then listed or admitted to trading
         on any securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the average
         sales price on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the
         average of the reported closing bid and asked price on such date, in
         the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Association of
         Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ"), or if NASDAQ at the
         time is not engaged in the business of reporting such prices, as
         furnished by any similar firm then engaged in such business and
         selected by the Board; or

                  (iii) If the Shares are not then listed or admitted to trading
         in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall be the
         amount determined by the Board in a manner consistent with Treasury
         Regulation Section 20-2031-2 promulgated under the Code or in such
         other manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or the
         Internal Revenue Service.

         (e) Duration of Plan; Term of Option. The term of the Plan, unless
previously terminated by the Board, is ten (10) years commencing on the date of
adoption of the Plan by the Board. No Option shall be granted under the Plan
unless granted within ten (10) years of the adoption of the Plan by the Board,
but Options outstanding on that date shall not be terminated or otherwise
affected by virtue of the Plan's expiration. Except as otherwise indicated in
Section 5, all Options automatically expire ten (10) years from the date of
grant.

         (f) Vesting of the Options. Options granted to the Qualified Directors
serving as of April 1, 1998 shall fully vest and become exercisable immediately
upon shareholder approval (as required by Section 4(a) of the Plan) or, with
respect to Options granted after shareholders approve the Plan, immediately upon
the Grant Date. Options granted to Qualified Directors who are not serving as
directors as of April 1, 1998, shall vest in full and become exercisable six (6)
months after the Grant Date.

         (g) Additional Restrictions on Option Exercise. A Qualified Director
may only exercise Options during the period commencing three (3) business days
following the release for publication of quarterly or annual financial
information regarding the Company and ending two (2) weeks prior to the end of
the then current fiscal quarter of the Company (the "Release Period").

                                      B-2

<PAGE>

         A "release for publication" shall be deemed to be satisfied if the
specified financial data appears:

                  (i) On a wire service;

                  (ii) A financial news service;

                  (iii) In a newspaper of general circulation; or

                  (iv) Is otherwise made publicly available.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, a
Qualified Director may exercise Options only so long as such exercise does not
violate the law or any rule or regulation adopted by the appropriate
governmental authority.

4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

         (a) Approval by Shareholders. The Plan shall be submitted to the
shareholders of the Company for their approval at a meeting to be held within
twelve (12) months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board. Shareholder
approval shall be evidenced by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the Shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and voting at the
meeting. If the shareholders decline to approve the Plan at such meeting or if
the Plan is not approved by the shareholders within twelve (12) months after its
adoption by the Board, the Plan and all Options and rights granted hereunder
shall automatically terminate to the same extent and with the same effect as
though the Plan had never been adopted.

         (b) Amendments to Plan. Without the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, the Board shall not (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Plan; (ii) change the class of persons eligible to
receive Options; (iii) modify the period within which Options may be granted,
the exercise price or the terms upon which Options may be exercised; (iv) change
the exercise price of the Options except as provided in Section 6; or (v)
increase the material benefits accruing to participants under the Plan. An
amendment to permit the assignment of options other than as specified in Section
5(b) shall not be considered a Material Amendment. (Collectively, each of these
changes in the Plan are referred to herein as "Material Amendments.") The Board
may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.

         (c) Individual Agreements. Options granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by agreements in such form as the Board from time to time approves,
which agreements shall substantially comply with and be subject to the terms of
the Plan.

         (d) No Fractional Shares. Options shall be granted and exercisable only
for whole shares; no fractional shares will be issuable upon exercise of any
Option granted under the Plan.

         (e) Method of Exercising Options. Options shall be exercised by written
notice to the Company, addressed to the Company at its principal place of
business. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the option and the
number of shares with respect to which it is being exercised, and shall be
signed by the person exercising the option. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased.
Payment may be made in cash or by bank cashier's check or by tendering duly
endorsed certificates for shares of the Company's Common Stock then owned by the
optionholder. The Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates
representing the Option Shares to the purchaser as soon as practicable after
payment for those Shares has been received. If an Option is exercised by any
person other than the optionholder, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares
that are purchased and paid for in full upon the exercise of an Option shall be
fully paid and non-assessable. The Board may determine that payment upon the
exercise of an Option may be made with Shares owned by the Qualified Director
having a fair market value on the exercise date equivalent to the amount of
payment, or any combination of cash and such Shares equal to such amount.

         (f) No Rights of a Shareholder. An Optionholder shall have no rights as
a shareholder with respect to shares covered by an Option. No adjustment will be
made for cash dividends for which the record date is prior to the date a stock
certificate is issued upon exercise of an Option. Upon such exercise of an
Option, the holder

                                      B-3

<PAGE>

of the Shares of Common Stock so received shall have all the rights of a
shareholder of the Company as of the date of issuance.

5. TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP; ASSIGNABILITY; DEATH

         (a) Termination of Directorship. If any Optionholder ceases to be a
Director of the Company other than by reason of death, disability or discharge
for cause, such holder (or its successors in the case of the holder's death
which results in the termination of directorship) may, within three months after
the date of termination, but in no event after the stated expiration date,
purchase some or all of the Shares with respect to which such Optionholder was
entitled to exercise such Option, on the date such directorship terminated;
provided, that if after directorship is terminated, the holder commits acts
detrimental to the Company's interests as determined by a two-thirds vote of the
members of the Board, then the Option shall thereafter be void for all purposes.

         (b) Assignability. No Option or the privileges conferred thereby shall
be assignable or transferable by a holder other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

         (c) Disability. If the Optionholder is removed as a director due to
disability, the Optionholder may exercise the Options, in whole or in part, to
the extent they were exercisable on the date when the Optionholder's
directorship terminated, at any time prior to the expiration date of the Options
or within one (1) year of the date of removal, whichever is earlier.

         (d) Discharge for Cause. If an Optionholder is removed as a director of
the Company for cause, the Options shall terminate upon receipt by the
Optionholder of a notice of such removal or on the effective date of the
removal, whichever is earlier. The Board shall have the right to determine
whether the optionholder has been discharged for cause for purposes of the Plan
and the date of such discharge.

         (e) Death of Holder. If Optionholder dies while serving as a director,
an Option shall be exercisable until the stated expiration date thereof by the
person or persons ("successors") to whom the holder's rights pass under will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, but only to the extent that the holder
was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. An Option may be
exercised (and payment of the option price made in full) by the successors only
after written notice to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be
purchased. Such notice shall comply with the provisions of Section 4(e).

6. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

         (a) Capital Adjustments. Except as limited by Section 422 of the Code,
the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Plan, the number of Shares covered
by outstanding Options, and the price per share stated in such Options shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a subdivision
or consolidation of shares or any other capital adjustment or the payment of a
stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares
effected without receipt by the Company of consideration therefor in money,
services or property.

         (b) Mergers, Etc. Except as limited by the provisions of Section 422 of
the Code, if the Company is the surviving corporation in any merger or
consolidation, any Option granted under the Plan shall pertain to and apply to
the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Option
would have been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall
cause every Option outstanding hereunder to terminate, unless specifically
provided otherwise by the Board. A merger or consolidation in which the Company
is not the surviving corporation shall also cause every Option outstanding
hereunder to terminate, unless specifically provided otherwise by the Board, but
each holder shall have the right immediately prior to a merger or consolidation
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, to exercise such Option
in whole or in part without regard to any installment provisions contained in
the Option agreement.

                                      B-4

<PAGE>

7. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

         (a) For Investment Only. If, at the time of exercise of this Option,
there is not in effect as to the Option Shares being purchased a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor
statute) (collectively the "1933 Act"), then the exercise of this option shall
be effective only upon receipt by the Company from the Director (or his legal
representatives or heirs) of a written representation that the Option Shares are
being purchased for investment and not for distribution.

         (b) Registration Statement Preparation. Each Qualified Director hereby
agrees to supply the Company with such information and to cooperate with the
Company, as the Company may reasonably request, in connection with the
preparation and filing of the registration statements and amendments thereto
under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state statutes and regulations
applicable to the Option Shares. The Company shall not be liable for failure to
issue any such Option Shares where such opinion of counsel cannot be obtained
within the period specified for the exercise of the Option, or where such
registration is required in the opinion of counsel. If shares of Common Stock of
the Company are, at the time of the exercise of this Option, listed upon a
securities exchange, the exercise of this Option shall be contingent upon
completion of the necessary steps to list the Option Shares being purchased upon
such securities exchange.

         (c) Compliance with Law. No Shares shall be issued or transferred upon
the exercise of any Option unless and until the following occurs:

                  (i) All legal requirements applicable to the issuance or
         transfer of Shares have been complied with; and

                  (ii) All requirements of any national securities exchange or
         association upon which the Shares are listed, traded or quoted have
         been met, in each case to the satisfaction of the Board. The Board
         shall have the right to condition the issuance of any Shares made to
         any person hereunder on such person's undertaking in writing to comply
         with such restrictions on his or her subsequent disposition of such
         Shares as the Board shall deem necessary or advisable as a result of
         any applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof, and
         certificates representing such shares may contain a legend to reflect
         any such restriction.

8. MISCELLANEOUS

         (a) No Funding. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be
required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
segregation of assets to assure any payment under the Plan.

         (b) Nevada Law. The Plan and the Options shall be governed by the laws
of the State of Nevada.

         (c) Modification of Grant, Vesting Date. Should April 1 in any given
year fall on a day on which trading in the Shares is closed, the action which
would have taken place on April 1 shall be delayed until the first day after
April 1 that trading in the Shares commences.

         DATED as of the 19th day of June, 1998 and effective as of April 1,
1998.

                              MESA AIR GROUP, INC.

                              RESTATED AND AMENDED

1.       PURPOSED OF THE PLAN; TYPE OF PLAN

         (a)      Attract and Retain Employees. The purpose of the Restated and
Amended Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan") is to attract and
retain key employees who are and will be responsible for the growth and success
of Mesa Air Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the " Company"). The term
"subsidiary" means any corporation other than the Company in an unbroken chain
of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of the granting of
the Option, as defined below, each of the corporations other than the last
corporation in the unbroken chain owns shares possessing 50% or more of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other
corporations in such chain. The term "Employee" includes individuals employed by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         (b)      Incentive Stock Options. Some one or more of the options
granted under the Plan may be intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option"
as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and any grant of such an option shall clearly specify that such option
is intended to so qualify. If no such specification is made, an option granted
hereunder shall be intended to not qualify as an "incentive stock option."

         (c)      Exemption from Short-Swing Liability. Options granted to
Officers or Directors of the Company ("Insiders") pursuant to this Plan shall be
exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), pursuant to Regulation Section 240.16(b)(-3) adopted under
the Exchange Act which was enacted on May 1, 1991.

2.       STOCK AND MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

         (a)      Description of Stock and Maximum Shares Allocated. The stock
subject to the provisions of this Plan and issuable upon exercise of the Options
are shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value, which may be either
unissued or treasury shares, as the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") may from time to time determine. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 6, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Plan
issuable upon exercise of all Options shall be four million three hundred
thousand (4,300,000) Shares, which shares shall be reserved for use upon the
exercise of the Options. The shares available for Options and all other shares
of Common Stock of the Company shall be referred to as the "Shares."

<PAGE>

         (b)      Restoration of Unpurchased Shares. If an Option expires or
terminates for any reason prior to the exercise in full before the term of the
Plan expires, the Shares subject to, but not issued under, such Option shall
again be available for other Options hereafter granted.

3.       OPERATION OF THE PLAN

         (a) Eligible Persons. Incentive stock options may be granted only to
employees. Non-qualified options may be granted only to employees, members of
the Board and consultants.

         (b)      Administration.

                  (1)      The Plan shall be administered by the Board unless
and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee (as hereinafter
defined), as provided in subsection (b)(3).

                  (2)      The Board shall have the power, subject to, and
within the limitations of, the express provision of the Plan:

                           (a)      To determine from time to time which of the
                  persons eligible under the Plan shall be granted Options; when
                  and how each Option shall be granted; whether an Option will
                  be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option;
                  the provisions of each Option granted (which need not be
                  identical), including the time or times such Option may be
                  exercised in whole or in part; and the number of shares for
                  which an Option shall be granted to each such person.

                           (b)      To construe and interpret the Plan and
                  Options granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke
                  rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in
                  the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission
                  or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, in a
                  manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient
                  to make the Plan fully effective.

                           (c)      To amend the Plan as provided in Section
                  4(b).

                  (3)      The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to
a committee composed of not fewer than two (2) members (the "Committee"), all of
the members of which Committee shall be Disinterested Persons (hereinafter
defined) and may also be, in the discretion of the Board, Outside Directors. A
"Disinterested Person" shall mean a Director who either (i) was not during the
one year prior to service as an administrator of the Plan granted or awarded
equity securities pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any
of its affiliates entitling the participants of its affiliates except as
permitted by Rule 16b-3(c)(3)(i); or (ii) is otherwise considered to be a
"disinterested person" in accordance with Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(I), or any other

or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. If administration
is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board (and
references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee),
subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may
abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of
the Plan. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to any person or
persons and the term "Committee" shall apply to any person or persons to whom
such authority has been delegated. Notwithstanding anything in this Section (3)
to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a committee of one
or more members of the Board the authority to grant Options to eligible persons
who (1) are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and/or (2) are
either (i) not then Insiders at the time of recognition of income resulting from
such Option, or (ii) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to
comply with Section 162(m) of the Code.

                  (4)      Any requirement that an administrator of the Plan be
a Disinterested Person shall not apply if the Board or the Committee expressly
declares that such requirement shall not apply. Any Disinterested Person shall
otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3.

         (c)      Price. The Option price per Share shall not be less than the
fair market value of the Shares, as defined below, on the Grant date.

         (d)      Fair Market Value.

                  (1)      If the options granted are intended to qualify as
incentive stock options, the fair market value of a Share on any particular day
shall be determined as follows:

                           (a)      If the Shares are listed or admitted to
trading on any securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the average
sales price on such day on the New York Sock Exchange, or if the Shares have not
been listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on such other
securities exchange on which such stock is then listed or admitted to trading,
or if no sale takes place on such day on any such exchange, the average of the
closing bid and asked price on such day as officially quoted on any such
exchange;

                           (b)      If the Shares are not then listed or
admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the fair market value shall be
the average sales price on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the
average of the reported closing bid and asked price on such date, in the
over-the-counter market as furnished by the national Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ"), or if NASDAQ at the time is not engaged
in the business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any similar firm then
engaged in such business and selected by the Board; or

                                       3

<PAGE>

                           (c)      If the Shares are not then listed or
admitted to trading in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall
be the amount determined by the Board in a manner consistent with Treasury
Regulation Section 20-2031-2 promulgated under the Code or in such other manner
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

                  (2)      If the Options granted are not intended to qualify as
incentive stock options, the fair market value of a Share on any particular day
shall be determined as follows:

                           (a)      If the Shares are listed or admitted to
trading on any securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the low sales
price on such day on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Shares have not been
listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on such other
securities exchange on which such stock is then listed or admitted for trading,
or if no sale takes place on such day on any such exchange, the average of the
closing bid and asked price on such day as officially quoted on any such
exchange;

                           (b)      If the Shares are not then listed or
admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the fair market value shall be
the average sales price on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the
average of the reported closing bid and asked price on such date, in the
over-the-counter market as furnished by the national Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ"), or if NASDAQ at the time is not engaged
in the business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any similar firm then
engaged in such business and selected by the Board; or

                           (c)      If the Shares are not then listed or
admitted to trading in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall
be the amount determined by the Board in a manner consistent with Treasury
Regulation Section 20-2031-2 promulgated under the Code or in such other manner
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

         (e)      Duration of Plan. The term of the Plan, unless previously
terminated by the Board, is ten years or June 28, 2005. No Option shall be
granted under the Plan unless granted within ten years after the adoption of the
Plan by the Board, but Options outstanding on that date shall not be terminated
or otherwise affected by virtue of the Plan's expiration.

         (f)      Vesting of the Options and Pro Rata Options. One-third of the
total Options granted on a Grant Date shall vest on the first anniversary date
after the Grant Date; one-third of the total Options granted on a Grant Date
shall vest on the second anniversary date after the Grant Date; and the
remaining one-third of the total Options granted on a Grant Date shall vest on
the third anniversary date after the Grant Date.

4.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

         (a)      Approval by Shareholders. The Plan shall be submitted to the
shareholders of the Company for their approval at their regular meeting to be
held within twelve (12) months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board.
Shareholder approval shall be evidenced by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the Shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and
voting at the meeting. If the shareholders decline to approve the Plan at such
meeting or if the Plan is not approved by the shareholders within twelve (12)
months after its adoption by the Board, the Plan and all Options and rights
granted hereunder shall automatically terminate to the same extent and with the
same effect as though the Plan had never been adopted.

         (b)      Amendments to Plan. The approval of the shareholders of the
Company shall require to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock subject to the Plan; (ii) modify the period within which Options may be
granted, the exercise price or the terms upon which Options may be exercised if
such terms or changes would be materially beneficial to the Optionholder; (iii)
change the exercise price of the Options except as provided in Section 6; or
(iv) increase the material benefits accruing to participants under the Plan.
(Collectively, each of these changes in the Plan are referred to herein as
"Material Amendments.") The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.

         (c)      Individual Agreements. Options granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by agreements in such form as the Board from time to time approves,
which agreements shall substantially comply with and be subject to the terms of
the Plan.

         (d)      Required Provisions Each agreement shall state (i) the total
number of shares to which it pertains, (ii) the exercise price for the shares
covered by the option, (iii) the time at which the option becomes exercisable,
(iv) the scheduled expiration date of the option, (v) the vesting period(s) for
such options, and (vi) the timing and conditions of issuance of any stock option
exercise.

         (e)      No Fractional Shares. Options shall be granted and exercisable
only for whole shares; no fractional shares will be issuable upon exercise of
any Option granted under the Plan. Fractional Options shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole share number.

         (f)      Method of Exercising Options. Options shall be exercised by
written notice to the Company, addressed to the Company at its principal place
of business. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the option and the
number of shares with respect to which it is being exercised, and shall be
signed by the person exercising the option. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased.
Payment may be made in cash or by bank cashier's check or by tendering duly
endorsed certificates of shares of the Company's Common Stock then owned by the
optionholder. The Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates
representing the Option Shares to the purchaser as soon as practicable after
payment for

                                       5

<PAGE>

those Shares has been received. If an Option is exercised by any person other
than the optionholder, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of
the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that are purchased
and paid for in full upon the exercise of an Option shall be fully paid and
non-assessable. The Board may determine that payment upon the exercise of an
Option may be made with Shares owned by an Insider having a fair market value on
the exercise date equivalent to the amount of payment, or any combination of
cash and such Shares equal to such amount.

         (g)      No Rights of a Shareholder. An optionholder shall have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to shares covered by an Option. No
adjustment will be made for cash dividends for which the record date is prior to
the date a stock certificate is issued upon exercise of an Option. Upon such
exercise of an Option, the holder of the Shares of Common Stock so received
shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company as of the date of
issuance.

5.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; ASSIGNABILITY; DEATH

         (a)      Termination of Employment. If any optionholder ceases to be an
Employee of the Company other than for Retirement (as such is defined in Section
5(b), death, disability, termination by the Company "Without Good Cause" (with
respect to Employees subject to employment agreements with the Company),
termination by the Employee for "Good Reason" (with respect to Employees subject
to employment agreements with the Company) or discharge for cause, such holder
(or his successors in the case of the holder's death after the termination of
employment) may, within three (3) months after the date of termination, but in
no event after the stated expiration date, purchase some or all of the Shares
with respect to which such optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option on
the date employment terminated.

         (b)      Retirement. If any optionholder (i) ceases to be an employee
of the Company other than by reason of death, disability or discharge for cause;
and (ii) has been continuously employed by the Company for five or more years;
and is (iii) over fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2) years of age (collectively
referred to as "Retirement"), all of the options which have been granted to such
optionholder prior to Retirement shall vest thirty (30) days after the
Retirement (the "Vested Options"). Such older (or his successors in case of the
holder's death after Retirement) may, within three months after the date of
Retirement or prior to the stated expiration date, whichever first occurs,
purchase some or all of the Shares which such optionholder was entitled to
exercise; provided, that if after employment is terminated, the holder commits
acts detrimental to the Company's interests, then the Option shall thereafter be
void for all purposes.

         (c)      Assignability. No Option or the privileges conferred thereby
shall be assignable or transferable by a holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.

         (d)      Disability. If the optionholder is removed as an employee due
to disability, the optionholder may exercise the Options, in whole or in part,
to the extent

                                       6

<PAGE>

they were exercisable on the date when the optionholder's employment terminated,
at any time prior to the expiration date of the Options or within one year of
the date of removal, whichever is earlier.

         (e)      Discharge for Cause. If an optionholder is removed as an
employee of the Company for cause, the Options shall terminate upon receipt by
the optionholder of a notice of such removal or on the effective date of the
removal, whichever is earlier. The Board shall have the right to determine
whether the optionholder has been discharged for cause for purposes of the Plan
and the date of such discharge.

         (f)      Death of Holder. If optionholder dies while serving as an
employee, an Option shall be exercisable until the stated expiration date
thereof by the person or persons ("successors") to whom the holder's rights pass
under will or by the laws of descent and distribution, but only to the extent
that the holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. An
Option may be exercised (and payment of the option price made in full) by the
successors only after written notice to the Company, specifying the number of
shares to be purchased. Such notice shall comply with the provisions of Section
4(e).

         (g)      Termination of Insider. Notwithstanding any language contained
in Section 5(a), upon termination of any Insider (with whom the Company has
entered into an Employment Agreement) for Good Reason by the Insider or Without
Cause by the Company, as those terms are defined in such Employment Agreement,
all Options granted on or prior to the date of termination shall immediately
vest and any risk of forfeiture with respect thereto shall be deemed to have
lapsed.

6.       CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

         (a)      Capital Adjustments. Except as limited by Section 422 of the
Code, the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Plan, the number of Shares
covered by outstanding Options, and the price per share stated in such Options
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a subdivision
or consolidation of shares or any other capital adjustment or the payment of a
stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares
effected without receipt by the Company of consideration therefore in money,
services or property.

         (b)      Mergers, Etc. Except as limited by the provisions of Section
422 of the Code, if the Company is the surviving corporation in any merger or
consolidation, any Option granted under the Plan shall pertain to and apply to
the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Option
would have been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall
cause every Option outstanding hereunder to terminate, unless specifically
provided otherwise by the Board. A merger or consolidation in which the Company
is not the surviving corporation shall also cause every Option outstanding
hereunder to terminate, unless specifically provided otherwise by the Board, but
each holder shall have the right to immediately prior to a merger or

                                       7

<PAGE>

consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, to exercise
such Option in whole or in part without regard to whether such Options have
vested.

7.       COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

         (a)      For Investment Only. If, at the time of exercise of this
Option, there is not in effect as to the Option Shares being purchased a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any
successor statute) (collectively the "1933 Act"), then the exercise of this
option shall be effective only upon receipt by the Company from the employee (or
his legal representatives or heirs) of a written representation that the Option
Shares are being purchased for investment and not for distribution.

         (b)      Registration Statement Preparation. The Insider hereby agrees
to supply the Company with such information and to cooperate with the Company,
as the Company may reasonably request, in connection with the preparation and
filing of the registration statements and amendments thereto under the
Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state statutes and regulations applicable
to the Option Shares. The Company shall not be liable for failure to issue any
such Option Shares where such opinion of counsel cannot be obtained within the
period specified for the exercise of the option, or where such registration is
required in the opinion of counsel. If the shares of Common Stock of the Company
are, at the time of the exercise of this option, listed upon a securities
exchange, the exercise of this option shall be contingent upon completion of the
necessary steps to list the Option Shares being purchased upon such securities
exchange.

         (c)      Additional Restrictions on Option Exercise. Insider may only
exercise Options during the period commencing three days following the release
for publication of quarterly or annual financial information regarding the
Company and ending two weeks prior to the end of the then current fiscal quarter
of the Company (the "Release Period").

         A "release for publication" shall be deemed to be satisfied if the
specified financial data appears:

                  (1)      On a wire service;

                  (2)      A financial news service;

                  (3)      In a newspaper of general circulation; or

                  (4)      Is otherwise made publicly available.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, an
Insider may exercise Options only so long as such exercise does not violate the
law or any rule or regulation adopted by the appropriate governmental authority.

8.       MISCELLANEOUS

         (a)      No Funding. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall
not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
segregation of assets to assure any payment under the Plan.

         (b)      Nevada Law. The Plan and the Options shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Nevada.

         (c)      Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to
deduct from any other compensation of the Grantee any federal, state or local
income taxes (including FICA) required by law to be withheld with respect to the
granting or exercise of any Options.

Revenue Sharing Agreement, dated to be effective February 1, 2001, as amended by
that certain First Amendment to Code Share and Revenue Sharing Agreement, dated
to be effective April 27, 2001 and that certain Second Amendment to Code Share

Services, Other Services and related obligations under the Code Share Agreement
to be performed using the CRJ Model 900s (the "CRJ 900 Subfleet") to Freedom, a
wholly owned subsidiary of MAG. AWA is willing to permit the subcontracting of

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants,
representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, and for other valuable

AWA, Mesa and Freedom agree as set forth below.

         AGREEMENTS:

         1.       Consent to Subcontracting. AWA, subject to the performance of

and satisfy on behalf of Mesa all the obligations, liabilities and duties of
Mesa under the Code Share Agreement relating to or arising in connection with
the provision of the CRJ 900 Services in the time and manner required by the

maintaining of employees required to provide the CRJ 900 Services in accordance
with Section 2.4 of the Code Share Agreement; (ii) maintaining the service

performance criteria in connection with the CRJ 900 Services, as required by
Section 5 of the Code Share Agreement (including, without limitation,
maintaining all records required by Section 5.5); (viii) providing
indemnification and defense of AWA pursuant to Sections 10.2 and 10.4 of the
Code Share Agreement for Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in
connection with (a) the provision of the CRJ 900 Services; (b) Freedom's breach
of the Code Share Agreement in providing the CRJ 900 Services; (c) damage or
destruction of property or any person, or injury or death of any person, caused
by, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of Freedom, its
employees, agents, licensees, contractors, suppliers, officers or directors; (d)
taxes, impositions, assessments or other governmental charges incurred by
Freedom in providing the CRJ 900 Services; and (e) passenger complaints or
claims by passengers using the CRJ 900 Services; (ix) providing and maintaining
the insurance required by Section 10.5 of the Code Share Agreement; (x)
complying with the confidentiality requirements of Section 11 of the Code Share
Agreement; (xi) maintaining the records and reports required by and permitting
all reviews and audits permitted by Sections 7.5.3, 7.8 and 14 of the Code Share
Agreement; and (xii) the payment of taxes in accordance with Section 12 of the

         3.       AWA Obligations. Subject to Section 5 below, AWA agrees that

Share Agreement; and (iv) providing and maintaining the insurance required by
Section 10.5.10 of the Code Share Agreement. Any failure, breach or default by
AWA to fulfill its liabilities, obligations and duties with respect to the CRJ
900 Services in accordance with the Code Share Agreement shall be a breach by
AWA of the Code Share Agreement entitling Mesa to pursue all rights and remedies
of Mesa under the Code Share Agreement.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         4.       No Novation. The CRJ 900 Services shall be deemed to be part
of "Flight Services" to be performed by Mesa in accordance with the Code Share
Agreement. The CRJ 900 Services and Flights operated by Freedom shall be
included in "Flight Services", "Schedules" and "Flights" for purposes of
calculating all of the performance standards set forth in Sections 5 and 8.2 of
the Code Share Agreement. AWA's consent to the subcontracting of the CRJ 900
Services to Freedom and Freedom's assumption of the obligations on Mesa's behalf
does not release, discharge or relieve Mesa or AWA from any liability,
obligations and duties under the Code Share Agreement to the extent they apply
to the CRJ 900 Services. Mesa and AWA shall remain liable and obligated for all
their respective liabilities, obligations and duties of Mesa under the Code
Share Agreement as they relate to the CRJ 900 Services. Freedom is deemed to be
a subcontractor of Mesa and Mesa shall cause Freedom's performance of the CRJ
900 Services to comply with and satisfy all of the relevant terms and conditions
of the Code Share Agreement and cause Freedom to comply with all recordkeeping,
reporting and disclosures required by the Code Share Agreement associated with
the CRJ 900 Services. Any failure, breach or default by Freedom to perform the
CRJ 900 Services in accordance with the Code Share Agreement shall be a breach
by Mesa of the Code Share Agreement entitling AWA to pursue all rights and
remedies against Mesa and Freedom permitted by the Code Share Agreement.

         5.       Payments. Until Mesa and AWA agree to the terms for making
payments directly to Freedom, all payments for the use and operation of the CRJ
900 Subfleet and the provision of the CRJ 900 Services to be made by AWA under
the Code Share Agreement shall be paid to Mesa in the same manner and time as
provided in Section 7 of the Code Share Agreement. For the purpose of
determining Actual Costs, Guaranteed Non-Maintenance Costs and Guaranteed
Maintenance Costs for the CRJ 900 Services and CRJ 900 Fleet, the costs and
expenses incurred by Freedom or Mesa, as the case may be, shall be the costs
used for determining amounts due by AWA. Until Mesa and AWA agree to the terms
for making payments directly to Freedom: (i) all revenue sharing required to be
paid pursuant to Paragraph 7.6 of the Code Share Agreement shall be paid by AWA
to Mesa; (ii) AWA shall have no obligation or duty to make any payments directly
to Freedom; and (iii) Mesa shall pay all sums payable to Freedom for the
operation of the CRJ 900 Subfleet and CRJ 900 Services pursuant to a separate
agreement to which AWA is not a party.

         6.       Term. Mesa's subcontracting of the CRJ 900 Services to Freedom
shall terminate upon the expiration or termination of the Code Share Agreement.

         7.       Effect. Except as set forth in this Amendment, all of the
terms and conditions of the Code Share Agreement remain in full force and
effect.

                  the Code Share Agreement is amended in its entirety as
                  follows:

                  Flight Service. During the term of this Agreement, Mesa (and
                  its Affiliated Service Providers) shall operate America West
                  Express air transportation services (the "Flight Services"),
                  using the Fleet of Aircraft established pursuant to Section
                  2.2, to and from the cities and based upon the schedule
                  established from time to time by AWA (the "Schedule") in
                  written notice to Mesa (a "Schedule Notice"). For purposes of
                  this Agreement, "Flights" means flights operated pursuant to
                  the Schedule. AWA may change the Schedule by issuance of a

                  Providers') aircraft maintenance requirements; (ii) create a
                  Schedule which will permit Mesa (or its Affiliated Service
                  Providers)to schedule flight crews in a manner consistent with
                  industry operational practices; (iii) schedule block times
                  based on AWA's internal block time policy; (iv) provide for
                  the following turn times: (a) in a hub location: 20 minutes
                  for Dash 8s and 25 minutes for any Aircraft in the CRJ
                  Subfleet; and (b) in other stations: 15 minutes for Dash 8s
                  and 20 minutes for any Aircraft in the CRJ Subfleet; (v) take
                  into account airport facilities available for Aircraft
                  handling; (vi) provide for maintenance as required by Section
                  2.6.3 and scheduled heavy maintenance on Aircraft as required
                  from time to time; and (vii) provide for at least 45 days
                  prior notice of any holiday cancellations. Mesa (and its
                  Affiliated Service Providers) shall implement all changes in
                  the Schedule contained in a Schedule Notice in accordance with
                  AWA's scheduling requirements within 60 days after Mesa's
                  receipt of a Schedule Notice. Mesa or any of its affiliates
                  shall not provide any flight service for any other airline for
                  flights that originate in or end in Phoenix, Arizona, other
                  than flights approved in advance by AWA, in writing, that are
                  scheduled or operated for maintenance requirements only;
                  provided, however, that Mesa, until 11:59 p.m. Phoenix time on
                  March 1, 2004, may operate [. . . *** . . .] as United Express
                  into Phoenix, Arizona [. . . *** . . .].

         2.       The Parties agree that the introductory paragraph of Section
                  2.2.2 and Section 2.2.2(a) of the Code Share Agreement are
                  amended in their entirety as follows:

                  CRJ Fleet Expansion. Pursuant to the Aircraft Contract, Mesa
                  (or its Affiliated Service Providers) has the right to acquire

                  (the "Firm Aircraft"), and additional CRJ Models 700 and 900
                  Aircraft, by virtue of options (the "Option Aircraft"), in the

<PAGE>

                  and 900s shall be a "CRJ Subfleet". The term "CRJ" is intended
                  to refer to CRJ Models 200s, 700s or 900s, as applicable.

                  (a)      Each of the Firm Aircraft shall be placed into Flight
                           Services by Mesa (or its Affiliated Service
                           Providers) in the calendar months set forth on
                           Exhibit A (the "Delivery Schedule"). Mesa shall
                           provide AWA with at least 90 days' prior written
                           notice of the week each of the Firm Aircraft will be
                           placed into Flight Service under this Agreement and
                           at least 60 days' prior written notice of the date on
                           which each of the Firm Aircraft will be placed into
                           Flight Service under this Agreement (each, a
                           "Scheduled Delivery Date").

         3.       The Parties agree that Section 2.2.2(c) of the Code Share
                  Agreement is amended by: (A) adding the phrase: (i) "or in the
                  calendar month in which the Firm Aircraft is to be delivered
                  pursuant to the Delivery Schedule, as applicable" after
                  "Scheduled Delivery Date" in the first sentence of Section
                  2.2.2(c); and (ii) "or the calendar month in which the Firm
                  Aircraft is to be delivered pursuant to the Delivery Schedule,
                  as applicable" after the term "Scheduled Delivery Date" is
                  used in the second and third sentences of Section 2.2.2(c);
                  and (B) adding the parenthetical "(as initially established by

                  the term "Scheduled Delivery Date" in the Section.

         4.       The Parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by
                  adding the following as Section 2.2.2(d): Notwithstanding
                  anything contained in Sections 2.2.2(a) and (c) to the
                  contrary, Mesa, by providing AWA with written notice (a "Delay
                  Notice") at least [. . . *** . . .] prior to the first day of
                  the calendar month in which a Firm Aircraft is to be delivered
                  pursuant to the Delivery Schedule (the "Scheduled Delivery
                  Month"), may, at its sole option and without penalty of any
                  kind, delay the Scheduled Delivery Month for a Firm Aircraft
                  by up to [. . . *** . . .] if either: (i) Bombardier notifies
                  Mesa, in writing, that Bombardier will be unable to deliver
                  the applicable Firm Aircraft on time; or (ii) if Mesa, despite
                  using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to obtain
                  financing for the applicable Firm Aircraft, timely to deliver
                  the Firm Aircraft in the Scheduled Delivery Month. The Delay
                  Notice shall: (i) be accompanied with the Bombardier notice or
                  a reasonable description of the efforts made by Mesa to obtain
                  the financing and the reason for not obtaining the financing,
                  as applicable; and (ii) establish the new Scheduled Delivery
                  Month in which the Firm Aircraft being delayed is to be
                  delivered. Mesa shall only be entitled to extend the Scheduled
                  Delivery Month for a Firm Aircraft one time pursuant to this
                  Section 2.2.2(d).

         5.       The Parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by
                  adding the following as Section 2.2.2(e):

                  Bombardier Delivery Date. Pursuant to Mesa's agreement with
                  Bombardier, Bombardier is required to provide Mesa with 90
                  days' written notice of the scheduled delivery week of each
                  Firm Aircraft (the "B-90 Notice"). Based on the B-90 Notice,
                  Mesa, at least 60 days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date,
                  provides AWA with written notice of the Scheduled Delivery
                  Date pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.2.2(a) (the
                  "Delivery Notice") for each Firm Aircraft. For purposes of
                  this Section 2.2.2(e), Mesa, based upon a change in delivery
                  dates received by Mesa from Bombardier, shall have the right
                  to extend the Scheduled Delivery Date to a new date certain
                  once for each Firm Aircraft by providing AWA with written
                  notice at least 45 days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date
                  established by the applicable Delivery Notice (the "Extension
                  Notice"). If a Firm Aircraft is delivered by Mesa to AWA and
                  is ready to be placed into Flight Services prior to the
                  Scheduled Delivery Date established by the Delivery Notice (as
                  may be extended by an Extension Notice), then AWA shall not be
                  obligated to make any payment under this Agreement for such
                  Firm Aircraft until the Scheduled Delivery Date established by
                  Mesa pursuant to the Delivery Notice (as may be extended by an
                  Extension Notice). If a Firm Aircraft is delivered by Mesa to
                  AWA and is ready to be placed into Flight Services after the
                  Scheduled Delivery Date established by the Delivery Notice (as
                  may be extended as a result of an Excusable Delay or an
                  Extension Notice), then, notwithstanding anything in Section
                  2.2.2(c) to the contrary, Mesa, within 30 days after receipt
                  of written demand from AWA, shall pay to AWA an amount equal
                  to $[. . . *** . . .] for each day following the fifth day
                  after the Scheduled Delivery Date that the Firm Aircraft is
                  not delivered until the date that the Firm Aircraft is
                  available to AWA to be placed into Flight Services under this
                  Agreement ("Delay Amount"), not to exceed for any Firm
                  Aircraft the greater of (i) $[. . . *** . . .] or (ii) the
                  amount paid by Bombardier to Mesa as damages for the late
                  delivery of such Firm Aircraft. An "Excusable Delay" shall be
                  defined to include delays commencing after the date of the
                  Delivery Notice and before the Scheduled Delivery Date (as may
                  be extended by an Extension Notice) and occasioned by the
                  following causes:

                             i.     acts of God;

                            ii.     war, warlike operations, act of the enemy,

                           iii.     fire, explosion, earthquake, lightning,
                                    flood, drought, windstorm or other action of
                                    the elements or other catastrophic or
                                    serious accidents;

                            iv.     epidemic or quarantine restrictions;

                             v.     any change in legislation, acts, orders,
                                    directives or regulations of any
                                    governmental or other duly constituted

                                    to employees of Bombardier causing cessation
                                    of work;.

                  If an Excusable Delay occurs, then the Scheduled Delivery Date
                  for purposes of this Section 2.2.2(e) shall be extended for
                  the number of days of Excusable Delay ("Excusable Delay
                  Period"), and the Delay Amount shall not begin to accrue until
                  the fifth day after the Scheduled Delivery Date, as extended
                  by the Excusable Delay Period. The terms of this Section
                  2.2.2(e) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the terms of
                  Sections 2.2.2(c) and 2.2.2(d).

         6.       The Parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by

         8.       The Parties agree that Section 2.2.3 of the Code Share
                  Agreement is amended by adding the following:

                  Elimination of CRJ Model 700s. In addition to the terms of
                  Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5(d), (i) in recognition of the total
                  of four (4) CRJ Model 900s to be delivered pursuant to the
                  Delivery Schedule in October 2003, November 2003 and December

                           Election Notice, timely, continues for 15 days after
                           AWA's receipt of written notice from Mesa stating
                           that AWA failed to issue the 900 Election Notice,
                           then AWA shall have no further right to issue a 900
                           Election Notice and reject the Rejectable CRJs. If
                           AWA issues the Election Notice as provided by this
                           Section 2.2.5(e), then none of the Rejectable CRJs
                           shall be added to the CRJ Subfleet or placed into
                           Flight Services under this Agreement.

                  (f)      Neither Mesa, AM nor Freedom shall operate any
                           Aircraft removed from Flight Services for itself or
                           any other airline while the Aircraft are marked with
                           AWA's livery

<PAGE>

                  (g)      From and after the date each Aircraft was or is
                           removed from Flight Services pursuant to any section
                           of this Agreement, AWA had and shall have no further
                           payment or other obligation under this Agreement for
                           such Aircraft.

         11.      The Parties agree that Section 2.2.6 is amended in its
                  entirety as follows:

                  Spares. Mesa shall have available 1 spare CRJ Model 200, 700
                  or 900 Aircraft for Flight Services under this Agreement at
                  any time there are 25 or more Aircraft in the combined CRJ
                  Subfleets in Flight Services under this Agreement and 2 spare
                  CRJ Model 200, 700 or 900 Aircraft available for Flight
                  Services under this Agreement at any time there are 65 or more
                  Aircraft in the combined CRJ Subfleets in Flight Services
                  under this Agreement. AWA shall pay the Actual Costs,
                  Guaranteed Non-Maintenance Costs (other than overhead) and
                  Guaranteed Maintenance Costs actually incurred by or payable
                  to Mesa for each spare Aircraft as provided in Section 7.

         12.      The Parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by
                  adding the following as Section 2.2.8:

                  Affiliated Service Provider Aircraft. Mesa, with at least 30
                  days' prior written notice to AWA, may substitute any Aircraft
                  operated by Mesa or Freedom under or pursuant to this
                  Agreement with an aircraft of the same model, capacity,
                  configuration and meeting the other requirements of this
                  Agreement, operated by an Affiliated Service Provider (each, a
                  "Substituted Aircraft"); provided that Mesa and such
                  Affiliated Service Provider have complied with the provisions
                  of Section 2.1 and all other provisions relating to Affiliated
                  Service Providers. Upon each substitution, each Substituted
                  Aircraft shall become an Aircraft for all purposes of this
                  Agreement. Mesa shall reimburse AWA for any out-of-pocket
                  costs or expenses incurred by AWA as a result of the
                  substitution of Aircraft under this Section 2.2.8 within
                  thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from AWA together
                  with commercially reasonable evidence of the out-of-pocket
                  costs or expenses actually incurred by AWA.

         13.      The Parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by
                  deleting Section 7.1.8.

         14.      The parties agree that the Code Share Agreement is amended by
                  adding the following as a new Section 7.10:

                  Station Costs. AWA shall reimburse to Mesa the costs and
                  expenses incurred by Mesa at stations maintained by Mesa in
                  the amounts and at the rates set forth in Exhibit B, attached
                  hereto (the "Station Costs"). Mesa shall invoice, as part of
                  the "Estimated Costs", and AWA shall pay the Station Costs on
                  a monthly basis

<PAGE>

                  in accordance with Section 7.5.1 of this Agreement. Pursuant
                  to Section 7.5.2 of this Agreement, Mesa shall include in each
                  Incurred Costs Statement the final amount of the Station Costs
                  payable by AWA to Mesa for each applicable calendar month, all
                  as calculated in accordance with Exhibit B, attached hereto.
                  Underpayments and overpayments of Station Costs shall be
                  reconciled in the manner set forth in Section 7.5.2 for
                  "Incurred Costs". The terms of Section 7.5.4 shall be
                  applicable to the Station Costs included or not included in
                  each applicable Incurred Costs Statement; provided, however,
                  that if any landlord or operator of any station is entitled to
                  retroactively adjust station rents, then the applicable
                  station rent shall be adjusted by Mesa as soon as reasonably
                  practicable after such adjustment and shall be paid by or
                  reimbursed to AWA within 30 days after Mesa provides AWA with
                  notice of such adjustment and recalculation. All of the terms
                  contained in Sections 7.8 and 7.9 shall apply to the
                  invoicing, paying, collecting and auditing of Station Costs.

                  AWA and Mesa intend for the Station Costs to be effective
                  retroactive to January 1, 2003. As soon as practicable and in
                  no event later than 90 days after the Effective Date of the
                  Fourth Amendment, Mesa shall submit to AWA a reconciliation of
                  the Station Costs (the "Reconciliation") since January 1, 2003
                  calculated in accordance with Exhibit F. To the extent the
                  Reconciliation discloses that sums are due from AWA to Mesa,
                  AWA shall pay such sums to Mesa.

         15.      The Parties agree that Section 8.1 of the Code Share Agreement
                  is amended as follows:

                  Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") commences on the
                  Effective Date retroactive to the Contract Date (the
                  "Commencement Date") and shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Phoenix
                  time, on June 30, 2012 ("Expiration Date"), unless earlier
                  terminated as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing to the contrary, if the 900 Election Notice is not
                  issued by AWA to Mesa as required by Section 2.2.5(e) and the
                  Rejectable CRJs are added to the CRJ Subfleet, then the
                  Expiration Date shall be extended to 11:59 p.m., Phoenix time,
                  on November 30, 2013. AWA, by written notice to Mesa at least
                  180 days prior to the Expiration Date, may extend the
                  Expiration Date for two years, expiring at 11:59 p.m., Phoenix
                  time, on June 30, 2014 or November 30, 2015, as applicable.

         16.      The Parties agree that Exhibit A to the Code Share Agreement
                  is amended in its entirety as set forth in Attachment 1 to
                  this Fourth Amendment, and Exhibit B to the Code Share
                  Agreement is amended in its entirety as set forth in
                  Attachment 2 to this Fourth Amendment.

         WHEREAS, US Airways desires to consent to such assignment by Mesa and

         WHEREAS, US Airways and Mesa desire to amend certain provisions of the
Agreement;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, US
Airways and Mesa hereby agree as follows:

         1.       Mesa hereby transfers, assigns and sets over unto Mesa Air

the Agreement.

         2.       Mesa Air Group, for itself and its successors and assigns,

reasonable efforts to cause to occur on or about the dates set forth in Exhibit

Lease") each having a * year term and separate commencement dates (each of which
shall be after *), the initial term for each of aircraft * shall expire on the *
; provided, however, that each aircraft shall be taken out of service for the
last * days of the initial term in order to put the aircraft in the return
condition required by * . US Airways may request that the term for each of
aircraft * may be renewed for up to * additional * year terms upon notice to
Mesa given at least * prior to the last day of the initial term relating to such
aircraft (or the first renewal term, as the

                                     Page 3

case may be). Mesa will notify US Airways not less than * prior to the last day
of the initial term relating to such aircraft (or the first renewal term, as the
case may be) as to whether such renewal will be granted. Aircraft Ownership
shall be increased by the * , provided that such increase may not exceed $* per

the second paragraph of this Section:

          The Aircraft Ownership Cost per month for the Additional Aircraft *

all other respects. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. Upon its
execution, this Sixth Amendment, together with the Agreement, will be the
complete and binding understanding of the Parties with respect to the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, as amended by the terms set forth herein. As

<PAGE>

other reasons, must be submitted to US Airways by the deadline date established
by US Airways but not less than * days prior to the effective date of such
initial schedules or schedule changes, and all such schedules must be approved,
in advance, by US Airways. Requests for new city-pair additions to Section
2.01(a) and 2.01(b) must be submitted to US Airways * days prior to requested
service start date. Requests for changes in Contractor's schedules must be made
in writing. Before such requests are issued, US Airways and Contractor will, as
far in advance as practicable, advise each other of any desired modifications or
amendments of their respective schedules so as to ensure that the primary needs
of both the local and connecting traffic between the cities operated by
Contractor as a US Airways Express Carrier are being adequately met. Within the
operating capability of the aircraft used by Contractor as described in Section
2.03, or some other substitute aircraft used by Contractor with the prior
written consent of US Airways, all reasonable and practicable requests by US
Airways to Contractor to adjust the service schedules required by Section 2.01
will be complied with by Contractor.

(d)      If Contractor provides service as "US Airways Express" in a market
operated in conjunction with US Airways Group aircraft, Contractor's scheduled
departures involving such service cannot be scheduled within * of any regional
jet operated by any carrier operating as US Airways Express, unless specifically
approved in writing by US Airways. Contractor must adjust flight schedules to
achieve such a minimum * separation within * notice from US Airways.

(e)      Except for the city pairs listed in Section 2.01(a)(i), nothing in
Section 2.01 or any other provisions of this Agreement shall prevent the
operation of jet service by US Airways Group aircraft in any market covered by
this Agreement.

(f)      Except as set forth in the table of approved markets set forth in
Section 2.01(a), no terms, provision or condition contained in this Article
shall be construed so as to prohibit the operation with the aircraft described
in Section 2.03, of additional schedules beyond those frequencies in city-pairs
previously approved in 2.01(a) or then currently approved pursuant to 2.01(b)
if, in Contractor's judgment, such additional schedules are economically
feasible;

                                       7

<PAGE>

provided, however, that the operation of such additional schedules shall be
subject to the terms of Section 2.01(c), Section 2.01(d), and Section 8, and
provided that all such changes to frequency are approved by US Airways and
Contractor conforms to all electronic schedule filing procedures and deadlines
as established by US Airways.

SECTION 2.02               OPERATION OF NON-AFFILIATED FLIGHTS

(a)      Contractor shall be entitled to operate additional services under its
own name and airline code in the city-pairs not then currently approved by US
Airways pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement. Such services shall not make
use of any of the services or facilities afforded to Contractor by US Airways
under this Agreement and no aircraft used in providing such services shall bear
any US Airways Express logo or markings. Except as otherwise provided herein, in
the city-pairs then currently approved by US Airways pursuant to Section 2.01 of
this Agreement, Contractor shall operate its services exclusively as US Airways
Express.

(b)      US Airways hereby grants to Contractor the right to conduct operations
described in Section 2.01 (a) (i) above and any operations undertaken by
subsequent amendment hereto under the trademark "US Airways Express" on behalf
of Midwest Airlines subject to all of the terms and conditions of Article 11 of
the Agreement. Contractor's flights which operate between Kansas City and the
airports listed in Section 2.01 (a) (i) will be permitted to carry the YX code
when connecting to Midwest Airlines flights from Kansas City to the airports
listed below. Any one or more of the airports listed is subject to change at the
sole discretion of US Airways, provided that US Airways provides * days notice
to Contractor:

Atlanta           New Orleans   San Antonio      Milwaukee   Los Angeles  Denver
San Francisco     Las Vegas     Phoenix          Dallas

SECTION 2.03               AIRCRAFT TO BE USED

(a)      Contractor will provide the scheduled air services described in Section
2.01 with short-to-medium range, multi-engine, turbine-propeller aircraft, which
aircraft shall meet the requirements for commuter air carrier operations set
forth in Part 298 of the DOT's Economic Regulations and the Federal Aviation
Regulations. Such aircraft shall have a minimum of nineteen (19) seats and
appropriate capacity for passenger baggage, freight and mail. If aircraft is
weight restricted so as to prevent the transport of all passengers and expected
baggage in the city-pair when booked to capacity, Contractor will make a
commercially reasonable effort to reduce available passenger capacity
sufficiently in advance so as to accommodate all booked passengers and their
baggage. Contractor and US Airways agree that except as expressly stated
otherwise herein, the Beechcraft 1900D aircraft is acceptable for purposes of

and all such advertising and use of the US Airways Trademarks in advertising by
Contractor. In the event US Airways approves the use of such US Airways
Trademarks in any advertising, such advertising shall identify US Airways as the
owner of such trademark(s), and to the extent that any mark is registered, shall
so specify.

(d)      To the extent that Contractor is licensed to use the mark "US Airways",
Contractor will use said mark only in the mark "US Airways Express" and then
only in conjunction with the services specifically embraced by this Agreement.

exclusive right to use the US Airways Trademarks, or to bridge US Airways' right
to use and/or to license its trademarks, and US Airways hereby reserves the
right to continue use of the US Airways Trademarks and to license such other
uses of said trademarks as US Airways may desire.
