Mesa strives to rebuild reputation

Article Abstract:

Mesa Air Group CEO Jonathan Ornstein has assisted the firm's founder Larry Risley expand into the US' biggest independent regional airline operator. However, the Farmington, NM-based carrier faced problems coordinating and managing crews to fly its feeder flights at airports as far away as Oregon and Florida at a time when its growth outpaced its management capabilities. The carrier served 110 cities in 27 states at the peak of its growth. In 1995, when the new airport at Denver, CO, opened, the carrier's operating costs increased, while new safety rules for turboprops compelled it to upgrade its planes. The firm also faced bad publicity about safety that caused the loss of hard-to-replace customers despite a crash-free record.

Atlantic Coast grows out from United's wings

Article Abstract:

Atlantic Coast Airlines continues to grow its regional operations on the East Coast while under the patronage of United Airlines. The regional carrier has three times as many flights than what United offers with routes from Washington Dulles International Airport north to Maine and south to Florida. The carrier is able to keep 70% of its customer traffic that need not transfer to a United flight compared with an industry average of about one-third. Atlantic Coast targets business travelers who typically fly to Dulles to do business in Washington and then fly home instead of getting onto a connecting United flight at Dulles.
