Mesa Air Group to Add Five Additional CRJ-900 Aircraft to American CPA

Mesa Air Group, Inc. announced that it is amending its new Capacity Purchase Agreement with American Airlines.

The amendment will see Mesa pick up flying at the beginning of 2021 over and above its new CPA levels, increasing to a total of five incremental aircraft by March. American retains the option to withdraw any of these incremental aircraft upon 60 days' prior notice.

"We appreciate the opportunity to add this additional capacity at the request of American Airlines," said Brad Rich, executive vice president and chief operating officer. "We remain optimistic about our relationship with American Airlines and are well prepared to respond positively to future opportunities."
