</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Given the nature of the events described herein, Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148; or
&#147;Mesa&#148;) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update its security holders with respect to
possible material events involving the Company and the affect these events could have on the
Company&#146;s results of operations and prospects.
</DIV>

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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the past few weeks the Company has announced the resolution of its litigation with Hawaiian
Airlines, an agreement to return certain aircraft to Raytheon Aircraft Company, shareholder
approval of its proposal to issue shares of common stock to those
2023 noteholders who may elect to put
their notes to the Company in June&nbsp;2008, and agreements with certain noteholders to defer their put
right until January 2009. Notwithstanding such corporate events, the Company believes that if the
Company&#146;s litigation with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (&#147;Delta&#148;) does not result in a favorable
ruling for the Company, such outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s
operations. The impact of the Delta litigation on the Company&#146;s operations is discussed in more
detail below.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>Purported Termination of Material Contract</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company announced that on March&nbsp;28, 2008, Delta had notified the Company
of its intent to terminate the Delta Connection Agreement among Delta, the Company, and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Freedom Airlines, Inc. (&#147;Freedom&#148;), dated as of May&nbsp;3, 2005 (as amended,
the &#147;Connection Agreement&#148;). The Connection Agreement includes, among other arrangements, the
Company&#146;s agreement to operate 34 model ERJ-145 regional jets leased by the Company (the &#147;Lease
Agreements&#148;) utilizing Delta&#146;s name. In fiscal 2007, the
Connection Agreement accounted for approximately 20% of
the Company&#146;s 2007 total revenues. Delta seeks to terminate the Connection Agreement as a result
of Freedom&#146;s alleged failure to maintain a specified completion rate with respect to its ERJ-145
Delta

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Connection flights during three months of the six-month period ended February&nbsp;2008. The
Company vehemently denies there is any basis for terminating the
Connection Agreement and is vigorously defending its rights thereunder.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;7, 2008, the Company filed a lawsuit against Delta alleging breach of the Connection
Agreement and seeking specific performance by Delta of its obligations thereunder. On May&nbsp;9, 2008,
the Company filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia against Delta to prevent its wrongful termination of the Delta Connection
Agreement. The hearing for this matter is scheduled to commence on May&nbsp;27 and end on May&nbsp;29, 2008.
The Company anticipates a ruling to be issued by the Court upon completion of such proceedings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Delta is successful in terminating the Connection Agreement, the Company believes it will
be unable to redeploy the 34 ERJ-145 aircraft in a timely manner, or at the lease rates the Company
receives under the Connection Agreement in the event of any redeployment of such aircraft. In
addition to losing approximately $20&nbsp;million per month in revenue (or approximately $960&nbsp;million
over the next four years), the Company estimates that leasing costs,
labor and other costs totaling
approximately $250 to $300&nbsp;million over the next four years would be incurred by the Company. As a
result, the Company&#146;s cash flows from operations and its available working capital would be
insufficient to meet these cash requirements, including its obligations under the Lease Agreements,
which will result in defaults thereunder. In the absence of obtaining additional capital through
equity or debt financings, asset sales, consensual restructuring of debt and lease terms and/or
similar measures, the Company will be unable to remedy such defaults and will experience additional
defaults in the future. Any such defaults would then trigger other defaults under other existing
agreements, which would be material to the operational cash flows of the Company. The Lease
Agreements are subject to termination in the event of default, and the Company&#146;s obligations under
such leases may be accelerated in the event of a continuing default. In such event, the Company&#146;s
financial condition would require that the Company seek protection under applicable U.S.
reorganization laws in order to avoid or delay actions by its lessors, creditors and code-share
partners, which could materially adversely affect the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going
concern.
