<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;13, 2007, Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued a press release announcing that
it has reached an agreement with Delta Air Lines (&#147;Delta&#148;) for an amendment to and assumption of
its existing Delta Connection Agreement (&#147;Amended DCA&#148;), as well as for a new code share agreement
to operate 14 CRJ-900 regional jet aircraft (&#147;Expansion DCA&#148;), both subject to approval by the
Bankruptcy Court overseeing Delta&#146;s Chapter&nbsp;11 bankruptcy proceedings. After service begins
pursuant to the Expansion DCA and the Amended DCA, the Mesa regional jet fleet flying for Delta
will consist of 14 CRJ-900s and 36 ERJ-145s.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The full text of the Company&#146;s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Expansion DCA</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Expansion DCA authorizes Mesa to operate 14 CRJ-900 regional jet aircraft as a
Delta Connection Carrier for a term of up to ten (10)&nbsp;years. This new service is expected to begin
in September&nbsp;2007. The compensation structure for the Expansion DCA will be similar to the
structure in the existing Delta Connection agreement, except that the CRJ-900 aircraft will be
owned by Delta and leased to Mesa for a nominal amount and no mark-up or incentive compensation
will be paid to Mesa on fuel costs above a certain level or on fuel provided by Delta.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Amended DCA</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Amended DCA provides, among other things, for the addition of six (6)&nbsp;additional ERJ-145
aircraft to the scope of existing Delta Connection Agreement for up to three (3)&nbsp;years beginning
immediately. Commencing in August&nbsp;2008, eight (8)&nbsp;of the original thirty (30)&nbsp;ERJ-145 aircraft will
be removed at a rate of three (3)&nbsp;aircraft per month. As part of entering into the Amended DCA,
Mesa will receive a general unsecured claim of $35&nbsp;million as part of Delta&#146;s bankruptcy
proceedings. This claim will be in full and final satisfaction of any and all claims Mesa may have
against Delta for pre-petition debt.
