</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">PHOENIX, October&nbsp;10, 2006 &#151; Mesa Air Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MESA) announced today that General
Ronald R. Fogleman, USAF, (Ret.) is voluntarily stepping down from the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors. Gen. Fogleman has served as a valuable member of the Board since 1998 and during this
time has acted as the Board&#146;s Audit Committee Chairman. Gen. Fogleman&#146;s decision is based on a
personal desire to reduce his involvement in public company Boards and his belief that he has
accomplished the goals he set for himself and the Company when he joined the Board in 1998.
&#147;General Fogleman has made a significant contribution during his tenure on Mesa&#146;s Board. He was
always a voice of reason on the Board and the Audit committee and was instrumental in corporate
governance and spearheading the Company&#146;s mandate for compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act,&#148; said
Mesa Air Group Inc. Chairman and CEO, Jonathan Ornstein, &#147;On behalf of the Board, Senior Management
Team and people of Mesa, I would like to say thank you and offer our best wishes for the future,&#148;
Ornstein added.
</DIV>

states, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas. Mesa operates as America West Express, Delta Connection,
US Airways Express and United Express under contractual agreement with America West, Delta Air
Lines, US Airways and United Airlines, respectively, and independently as Mesa Airlines. The
