Yes, a tiny part of SkyWest, but the maximum (20% I think) allowed by Brazilian law for a foreign company to own.

Don't worry. If it works out, they'll pull a Richard Branson (alter ego offshore company set up within the target country to funnel the money).

Also, it sounds like far more than a straight financial investment. The article I read talked about economies of scale in purchasing power with SkyWest.
