Mesa files Chapter 11, seeks relief on leases
Mesa Air Group rang in the new year with a resolution of sorts, as it started the process of restructuring its operations by filing for Chapter 11 bankrupt
Mesa Air Group rang in the new year with a resolution of sorts, as it started the process of restructuring its operations by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 5. The move came some six weeks after United Airlines filed a court complaint to block Mesa’s efforts to replace some of the 50-seat CRJ200s scheduled for removal from the United Express system on April 30 with ten 70-seat CRJ700s.
During the restructuring, said Mesa, it will continue to operate as normal and without interruption under its code-share agreements with US Airways, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Mesa did not include its Hawaii-based go!-Mokulele joint venture in the filing.
