<DIV align="left"><FONT size="2">Phoenix, Arizona</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Mesa Air Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of September&nbsp;30, 2002 and
2001 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. These standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of September&nbsp;30,
2002 and 2001 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in
the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The schedules are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s
management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 2002 financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
