</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>PHOENIX, April&nbsp;26, 2006 &#150; </B>Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ-MESA) today announced second quarter after
tax earnings of $5.3&nbsp;million on operating revenues of $312.1&nbsp;million. Total operating revenues for
the second quarter of 2006 increased $48.2&nbsp;million, or 18.3%, primarily as a result of the
year-over-year increases in our regional jet fleet. Net income and earnings per share for the
second quarter were $5.3&nbsp;million and 14 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),
respectively, as compared to net income of $10.8&nbsp;million and 26 cents per share for the same period
of fiscal 2005. Pro forma net income for the quarter was $12.9&nbsp;million, or 30 cents per share.
Pro forma net income excluded costs associated with converting debt to equity of $7.5&nbsp;million, a
gain on the disposition of an aircraft of $0.3&nbsp;million and net investment losses of $0.4&nbsp;million.
This compares to pro forma earnings of $11.9&nbsp;million, or 28 cents per share for the comparable
period of fiscal 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total Available Seat Miles (ASMs) for the second quarter of 2006 increased 8.0% from the second
quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of regional jets flown from 136
jets as of March&nbsp;31, 2005 to 144 as of March&nbsp;31, 2006. At March&nbsp;31, 2006, Mesa&#146;s fleet of regional
jets was comprised of 91 50-seat regional jets, 15 70-seat regional jets and 38 86-seat regional
jets (56 at America West, 60 at United, eight at US Airways and 20 at Delta). In addition to its
regional jet fleet, Mesa operated 36 turboprops, including 16 37-seat DH8-200s (six at America West
and ten at United) and 20 B1900s (six at Mesa independent, 12 at US Airways and two at America
West). Beginning in early July, Mesa will fly an additional twelve, 37-seat, DH8-100s in support
of Delta&#146;s expanding operations at its New York-JFK hub.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of March&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company&#146;s cash, marketable securities and debt investments were
approximately $282.4&nbsp;million, which includes $11.7&nbsp;million of restricted cash.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, holders of $144.8&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount
due at maturity ($57.5&nbsp;million carrying amount) of the Company&#146;s Senior Convertible Notes due 2023
(the &#147;Notes&#148;) converted Notes into shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. As a result of these
conversions, the Company issued 5,751,121 shares of common stock to holders of Notes during the
quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2006. These conversions, along with the $12&nbsp;million in aggregate principal
amount due at maturity ($4.8&nbsp;million carrying amount) that was converted in the first quarter,
represent approximately 62% of the $252&nbsp;million original aggregate principal amount due at maturity
of the Notes. These Notes were originally issued at a discount resulting in gross proceeds to the
Company of $100&nbsp;million. The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Notes were
previously included in the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">calculation of our diluted earnings per share. Consequently, issuance of the shares will have no
further dilutive effect to reported diluted earnings per share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Also during the quarter, the Company announced that <B><I>go!, </I></B>Mesa&#146;s independent inter-island Hawaiian
operation, will begin operations June&nbsp;9, 2006 with introductory fares of $39 one-way. The Company
also unveiled <B><I>go!</I></B>&#146;s website (<U>www.iflygo.com</U>) and has started taking reservations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company continued the transition of its 59 regional jets out of the US Airways operations into
operation with United and Delta. At present, the Company has transitioned 51 of the 59 aircraft
out of the US Airways operations, placing 31 into revenue service with United and 20 into revenue
service with Delta.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Given the difficult operating environment and US Airways transition and Hawaii startup expenses,
we are pleased with these results,&#148; said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa Air Group&#146;s Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. &#147;Focusing on costs, our transition and Hawaii startup expenses of $3.6&nbsp;million
for the quarter were within plan. Operationally, despite the transition of aircraft out of US
Airways, the Company did an excellent job with a controllable completion rate of 99.1%. These
results are a testament to the Company&#146;s operational flexibility, focus on maintaining a high
quality low cost product and dedicated workforce. These attributes allowed us to continue to
reduce our cost per available seat mile (excluding fuel) from 8.4 cents to 8.3 cents making us one
of the lowest cost regional airlines. This strong foundation allows us to effectively compete for
future growth opportunities as the major airlines continue to restructure and, looking forward,
expand. We would like to thank our airline partners for their continued support and our 5,000 hard
working employees.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.
