SkyWest AirlinesSKW/ OO

SkyWest Airlines, founded in 1972 and headquartered in St. George, Utah, is one of the largest regional carriers in North America, operating as a major feeder airline for Delta Air Connection, United Express, and American Eagle. The carrier operates scheduled passenger service primarily on regional routes throughout the western and central United States, utilizing modern turboprop and regional jet aircraft to connect smaller communities with major hub airports. SkyWest does not operate frequent flyer programs of its own, as passengers accrue miles through the mainline carriers it partners with, and the airline focuses exclusively on regional service rather than offering differentiated cabin classes. Known for its reliability and extensive network of regional routes, SkyWest serves tens of millions of passengers annually and maintains a significant presence in markets across the Mountain West, Great Plains, and California regions. The airline is wholly owned by SkyWest, Inc., a publicly traded holding company that also owns other regional and charter operations.
