On January 21st Mesas' parent company Air MidWest officially requested to the Department Of Transportation permission to drop it's route in Arkansas. That route includes Dallas, El Dorado, Hot Springs and Jonesboro. The airline asks to drop the route on April 21, 2008.

The copy of the letter I received from the company specifies that "Air Midwest" made the request. And all the conversations I had with Mesa spoke of the parent company being "Air Midwest" . I would be glad to make a correction if necessary but until further verification is given me I will not be able to make a change.

Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company committed to a plan to sell Air Midwest or certain assets thereof. Air Midwest consists of turboprop operations, which includes our independent Mesa operations. Midwest Airlines code-share operations, and our Beechcraft 1900D turboprop code-share operations with US Airways. In connection with this decision, the Company began soliciting bids for the sale of the twenty Beechcraft 1900D aircraft in operation and began to take the necessary steps to exit the EAS markets that we serve and expect to be out of all EAS markets by the end of fiscal 2008. All assets and liabilities, results of operations, and other financial and operational data associated with these assets have been presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations separate from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. For all periods presented, we reclassified operating results of the Air Midwest turboprop operation to loss from discontinued operations.
