Debtor History and Operations Mesa was founded in 1982.9 There was a strong demand by employees in the oil and gas industry for Mesa‟s services, and Mesa quickly grew. In its first ten years of business, Mesa grew from having just one aircraft serving two cities to operating thirty-eight aircraft serving sixty-three cities.10 In addition, Mesa went from being a small closely held corporation to a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ exchange.11 Over the next several years, Mesa was recognized for its strong operations throughout the industry and was named Air Transport World‟s “Regional Airline of the Year” in 2005.12 Mesa credited its growth to “its focus on 6 In re Mesa Air Group, Inc., et al, case no. 10-10018, S.D.N.Y., Application to Employ Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as Counsel Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date, (Dkt. 77) (January 8, 2010); For information on this firm, see its website, available at http://www.jonesday.com/. 7 In re Mesa Air Group, Inc., et al, case no. 10-10018, S.D.N.Y., Application to Employ Morrison & Foerster LLP as Counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors / Application Pursuant to Sections 327(A), 328(A), and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016 For Entry of an Order Authorizing the Retention and Employment of Morrison & Foerster LLP As Attorneys to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors Nunc Pro Tunc to January 13, 2010.

Specifically, Mesa Airlines, Inc. operated as US Airways Express under code-share agreements with US Airways, Inc.

A low-cost carrier or low-cost airline (also known as a no-frills, discount or budget carrier or airline) is an airline that offers generally low fares in exchange for eliminating many traditional passenger services.

  • Bankruptcy Tilts Playing Field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected]
    Equity Research Airlines / Rated: Market Underweight September 15, 2005 Research Analyst(s): David Strine 212 272-7869 [email protected] Bankruptcy tilts playing field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected] Key Points *** TWIN BANKRUPTCY FILINGS TILT PLAYING FIELD. NWAC and DAL filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, becoming the 20 and 21st airlines to do so since 2000. Now with 47% of industry capacity in bankruptcy, the playing field looks set to become even more lopsided pressuring non-bankrupt legacies to lower costs further and low cost carriers to reassess their shrinking CASM advantage. *** CAPACITY PULLBACK. Over the past 20 years, bankrupt carriers decreased capacity by 5-10% on avg in the year following their filing. If we assume DAL and NWAC shrink by 7.5% (the midpoint) in '06, our domestic industry ASM forecast goes from +2% y/y to flat, which could potentially be favorable for airline pricing (yields). *** NWAC AND DAL INTIMATE CAPACITY RESTRAINT. After their filing yesterday, NWAC's CEO indicated 4Q:05 capacity could decline 5-6% y/y, while Delta announced plans to accelerate its fleet simplification plan, removing four aircraft types by the end of 2006. *** BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES LIKELY TO BE LOW COST CARRIERS. NWAC and DAL account for roughly 26% of domestic capacity, which, if trimmed by 7.5% equates to a 2% pt reduction in industry capacity. We believe LCC-heavy routes are likely to see a disproportionate benefit from potential reductions at DAL and NWAC, with AAI, AWA, and JBLU in particular having an easier path for growth.

NOTE SPECIAL PROTECTION IN THE AIR[LINE INDUSTRY]: THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SECTION 1110 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE Gregory P. Ripple* INTRODUCTION The airline industry is not for the faint of heart. The deregula- tion of the airline industry in 19781 coincided with the adoption of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.2 In the six years following deregula- tion, over 130 new commercial air carriers took off into the newly opened American skies.3 While there were success stories, there were many failures, and American airlines have not been strangers to the American bankruptcy courts. The great capital expense required of airlines to build and main- tain their fleet makes them particularly susceptible to economic down- turns. Today's modern jetliners cost at a very minimum tens of millions of dollars apiece. 4 Airlines, even well-established ones, simply * Candidate forJuris Doctor, Notre Dame Law School, 2003; B.A., University of Notre Dame, 1994; M.A., Fordham University, 1996; M.
