SKYWEST INC

SkyWest provides scheduled passenger service primarily through its operating entity, SkyWest Airlines, to destinations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company operates substantially all of its flights as United Express, Delta Connection, American Eagle, or Alaska Airlines flights under code-share agreements with United, Delta, American, or Alaska, respectively. These code-share agreements allow SkyWest to use its partners' flight designator codes on its flights. As of December 31, 2025, SkyWest offered approximately 2,260 daily departures, comprising approximately 940 United Express flights, 680 Delta Connection flights, 420 American Eagle flights, and 210 Alaska Airlines flights. SkyWest generally provides regional flying to its major airline partners under long-term, fixed-fee, code-share agreements, also known as capacity purchase agreements. Under these agreements, major airline partners pay SkyWest fixed rates for operating aircraft, primarily based on completed flights, flight time, and the number of aircraft under contract. The major airline partners either directly pay for or reimburse SkyWest for specific direct operating expenses, including fuel. Operations are principally conducted at airports supporting major airline partners' route networks, including Chicago (O’Hare), Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle. SkyWest has been flying since 1972. As of December 31, 2025, its fleet included aircraft manufactured by Embraer S.A., such as the E175 regional jet, and aircraft manufactured by MHI RJ Aviation ULC (formerly Bombardier), including the Canadair CRJ900, CRJ700 (including a 50-seat CRJ550 configuration), and CRJ200 regional jet aircraft.
