CHICAGO – United Airlines announced today that it has reached a five-year agreement with United Express partner Mesa Air Group to operate 30 replacement aircraft under the United Express name, beginning in Fall 2005. “We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Mesa, a move that supports United Express’s goal to maintain reliable operations in each of the markets we currently serve,” said Sean Donohue, United’s vice president for United Express and Ted.  “These replacement aircraft will generate significant savings and will largely complete the selection of carriers to replace Air Wisconsin.”

Last month, United announced that it had reached agreements with SkyWest and GoJet to operate 30 aircraft under the United Express brand.  Together, the agreements with Mesa, SkyWest and GoJet replace 60 of the 80 aircraft currently being operated for United by Air Wisconsin Airlines.  No stations will be closed as a result of the agreement; however, schedule changes may occur as United takes the opportunity to reduce United Express capacity to fit customer demand.
