Fun facts about SKYWEST INC

Quirks, history, and lore behind SKYW — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

1
The Basics
U.S. transportation company · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Utah · operates entirely behind the scenes of brands you already know.
2
The Numbers
Operates a fleet of several hundred regional jet aircraft and handles tens of millions of passengers a year — yet most fliers have never heard its actual name.
3
The History
Founded in the 1970s as a small commuter carrier in the intermountain West, it grew by signing capacity purchase agreements with the major network airlines rather than competing against them.
4
The Secret
Under those contracts, the major partner airline sets the fares, keeps the revenue, and tells this company where to fly — making it essentially a contract flight operator wearing someone else's livery.
5
The Lore
It has been one of the largest regional airline operators in North America, flying routes for partners including United and Delta under those carriers' regional brand banners.
6
The Giveaway
If you've ever boarded a United Express or Delta Connection flight on a smaller jet in the American West, there's a solid chance the plane — and crew — belonged to this St. George, Utah regional giant.
