<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Mesa Air Group Reports 2nd Quarter 2005 Earnings</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>PHOENIX, April&nbsp;26, 2005 &#150; </B>Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ-MESA) today announced 2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> quarter
after tax earnings of $10.8&nbsp;million on revenues of $263.8&nbsp;million. Total operating revenues for
the second quarter of 2005 increased $54.2&nbsp;million, or 25.8%, primarily as a result of a 24.6%
increase in available seat miles (ASMs). Earnings per share for the 2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> quarter were 26
cents per share on a diluted basis (all amounts reported herein are after tax and all per share
amounts reported hereafter are on a diluted basis) as compared to net income of $1.8&nbsp;million or 5
cents per share for the same period of fiscal 2004. Pro forma net income for the quarter was $11.9
million, or 28 cents per share. Pro forma net income excluded $0.6&nbsp;million from a settlement of a
dispute with a vendor and net investment losses of $1.6&nbsp;million. This compares to pro forma
earnings of $9.6&nbsp;million, or 22 cents per share for the comparable period of fiscal 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Total ASMs for the second quarter of 2005 increased 24.6% from the second quarter of 2005,
primarily as a result of an increase in the number of regional jets flown from 116 jets as of March
31, 2004 to 136 of March&nbsp;31, 2005. During the quarter, the Company took delivery of four 86-seat
CRJ-900s for our America West flying. These deliveries increased Mesa&#146;s fleet of regional jets to
136 regional jet aircraft, comprised of 92 50-seat regional jets, 15 70-seat regional jets and 29
86-seat regional jets (47 America West, 30 United and 59 US Airways. During the remainder of
fiscal 2005, the Company is contractually committed to delivering to America West nine 86-seat
regional jets). In addition, Mesa operates 42 turboprops, 16 37-seat DH8-200s (6 America West and
10 United) and 26 B1900s (10 Mesa and 16 US Airways).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As of March&nbsp;31, 2005, the Company&#146;s cash, marketable securities and debt investments were
approximately $255.9&nbsp;million, including $10.3&nbsp;million of restricted cash.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;With many thanks for our employees&#146; contributions, we are pleased to announce our 14th consecutive
profitable quarter on a pro forma basis,&#148; said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa&#146;s Chairman and CEO. &#147;In
spite of the good results, we remain cognizant of the challenges faced by our airline partners and
remain supportive of their restructuring efforts. As a result, there may be significant changes to
our Company&#146;s operations. We believe Mesa&#146;s position as one of the lowest cost operators of
regional jet aircraft makes us particularly well suited to face today&#146;s difficult environment.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per
share, which are adjusted from our GAAP results as shown above. These non-GAAP adjustments
are provided to enhance the user&#146;s overall understanding of our current financial
performance. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management
and investors by excluding certain charges and other amounts that we believe are not
indicative of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide
investors and management with an alternative method for assessing the Company&#146;s operating
results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Company&#146;s ongoing operations
and to provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters. In addition, since
we have historically reported pro forma results to the investment community, we believe the
inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. These
measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from
pro forma measures used by other companies.

    <TD>To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the
Company uses non-GAAP measures of pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share, which
are adjusted from our GAAP results as shown above. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to
enhance the user&#146;s overall understanding of our current financial performance. We believe the
non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding
certain charges and other amounts that we believe are not indicative of our core operating
results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide investors and management with an
alternative method for assessing the Company&#146;s operating results in a manner that is focused
on the performance of the Company&#146;s ongoing operations and to provide a more consistent basis
for comparison between quarters. In addition, since we have historically reported pro forma
results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides
consistency in our financial reporting. These measures are not in accordance with or an
alternative for, GAAP and may be different from pro forma measures used by other companies.</TD>
