Mesa Air Group has filed a registration statement with the SEC for its proposed merger with Republic Airways Holdings.

The merger aims to consolidate the regional airline industry, creating a larger player with increased bargaining power.

Mesa Air Group (NASDAQ: MESA) has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with its proposed merger with Republic Airways Holdings Inc. The filing, submitted on July 10, 2025, includes a proxy statement and preliminary prospectus [1]. Once the SEC declares the registration statement effective, Mesa will mail the final proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders for their vote on the merger.

The merger aims to consolidate the regional airline industry, creating a larger player with increased bargaining power. Mesa Air Group, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, operates Mesa Airlines, a regional air carrier providing scheduled passenger service to 82 cities in 32 states, the District of Columbia, Cuba, and Mexico. As of March 31, 2025, Mesa operated a fleet of 60 aircraft, with approximately 238 daily departures, and had approximately 1,650 employees [3].

The registration statement has not yet become effective, and the information contained therein is subject to change. The related securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective [2]. Mesa and its directors and certain executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Mesa’s stockholders with respect to the Merger [1].

Investors and security holders of Mesa are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents that may be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents (when available) that Mesa files with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, these documents may be obtained from Mesa free of charge by directing a request to https://investor.mesa-air.com [1].
