PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
SkyWest, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SkyWest
Airlines, Inc. ("SkyWest"), operates one of the larger regional airlines in the
United States. SkyWest provides passenger and air freight service and completes
over 550 daily flights. Pursuant to a joint marketing and code sharing agreement
with Delta Airlines, Inc. ("Delta"), SkyWest operates as a Delta Connection in
SkyWest's markets. Management believes that during calendar year 1996,
approximately 48% of SkyWest's passengers were interline passengers connecting
with flights offered by Delta. In October 1995, the Company entered into a
marketing and code sharing agreement with Continental Airlines, Inc.
("Continental") which allows SkyWest to operate as a Continental Connection in
markets which operate in and out of Los Angeles. Approximately three percent of
SkyWest's passengers are interline passengers connecting with flights offered by
Continental. With principal hubs located at the Los Angeles and Salt Lake City
International Airports, SkyWest offers a convenient and frequent flight schedule
designed to maximize connecting and origin-destination traffic. SkyWest
currently operates a fleet of 50 turbo-prop aircraft and 10 regional jet
aircraft.
Founded in 1972, the Company has experienced significant growth. During the past
five fiscal years, consolidated operating revenues have increased from $146.8
million in fiscal 1993 to $283.3 million in fiscal 1997. Total passengers
carried by SkyWest have increased from approximately 1,523,000 to approximately
2,657,000 over the same period. In fiscal 1997, the Company achieved record
levels of passengers carried, record consolidated operating revenues of $283.3
million, and net income of $10.1 million or $1.00 per share.
The Company, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, is also engaged in various
other transportation related businesses. Scenic Airlines, Inc. ("Scenic")
provides air tours and general aviation services to the scenic regions of
northern Arizona and southern Utah and operates 49 aircraft. National Parks
Transportation, Inc. ("NPT") provides car rental services through a fleet of
Avis vehicles located at five airports served by SkyWest. In fiscal 1997, Scenic
and NPT together accounted for approximately 13.6 percent of the Company's
consolidated operating revenues.
JOINT MARKETING AND CODE SHARING AGREEMENTS
Since April 1987, SkyWest has operated as a Delta Connection in SkyWest's
markets pursuant to the terms of a joint marketing and code sharing agreement
with Delta. On July 1, 1990, the Company and Delta entered into a revised Delta
Connection Agreement (the "Delta Connection Agreement") under which the Company
coordinates with Delta to facilitate interline connections at the Los Angeles
and Salt Lake City International Airports. At these two airports combined, Delta
presently has more passenger enplanements and flight departures than any other
carrier. The primary benefit of this affiliation is the use of the Delta
designation code (DL) in listing flights in the Official Airline Guide and in
the computerized reservation systems used throughout the industry. The Company's
code sharing arrangement allocates to the Company a portion of the passenger
fare on a formula or other basis, subject to periodic adjustments. The Company
also participates in cooperative advertising and marketing activities with
Delta, including Delta's Frequent Flyer Program, the Delta Meeting Network and
Delta Dream Vacations.
The Company believes the arrangement created between SkyWest and Delta is
similar to those which exist between other major and regional airlines. The
Delta Connection Agreement is subject to termination in various circumstances,
including upon 180 days' advance notice by either party for any or no reason.
Delta currently owns 15 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock.
Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement between Delta and the Company, Delta holds
preemptive rights and registration rights (two demand rights and unlimited
"piggy-back" rights) with respect to the Common Stock owned by Delta, as well as
the right to designate one nominee for the Company's Board of Directors, so long
as Delta owns at least ten percent of all Common Stock. Effective April 1, 1997,
W. Martin Braham, Delta's designated Board member resigned from the Board, at
Delta's request. All Delta designated board members of other regional airlines
with similar arrangements also resigned. However, so long as Delta is the owner
of 10% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, the Company is
required to include a designee of Delta reasonably acceptable to the Company on
the slate of nominees for election of directors nominated by the Company's Board
of Directors and to use its best efforts to assure the election of the designee
to the Board of Directors. Delta has not designated a nominee to replace Mr.
Braham and the Company does not otherwise intend to nominate a replacement for
the vacancy created by Mr. Braham's resignation.

Since October 1995, SkyWest has operated as a Continental Connection, in
Southern California markets which utilize Los Angeles as a connecting hub,
pursuant to the terms of a marketing and code sharing agreement (the
"Continental Connection Agreement") with Continental. The benefits under this
agreement are similar to those described under the Delta Connection Agreement.
The Continental Connection Agreement terminates October 24, 1997, however it is
cancelable by either party with generally 90 days written notice for any or no
reason.
ROUTES
The Company's flight schedules are structured to facilitate the connection of
its passengers with flights of Delta and Continental at the airports it serves.

(1) Refers to the calendar year service was initiated.
(2) Service is provided on a seasonal basis.
SEASONALITY
The Company's operations are favorably affected by increased travel usually
occurring in the summer months and are unfavorably affected by inclement weather
which occasionally results in cancelled flights principally during the winter
months. The business related to the flight tour operations of Scenic is seasonal
in nature. A large percentage of Scenic's passengers are tourists visiting the
Las Vegas and Grand Canyon areas during the summer months. During the first
calendar quarter, the operations of Scenic are generally reduced as a result of
decreased traffic.
COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
On November 23, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the purchase of
up to 1,150,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. The total
shares were purchased during the year ended March 31, 1995 at an average price
of $13.98. On February 7, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. On
February 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the purchase of up
to an additional 500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock. During the
year ended March 31, 1996, 324,600 shares were purchased at an average price of
$12.92. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 1997.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
All interstate air carriers, including SkyWest and Scenic, are subject to
regulation by the FAA. The FAA requires operating, air worthiness and other
certificates; FAA approval of personnel who may engage in flight, maintenance or
operation activities; record keeping procedures in accordance with FAA
requirements; and FAA approval of flight training and retraining programs.
SkyWest and Scenic operate under FAR Part 121 certificates. SkyWest also
operates under a Canadian Foreign Air Operator Certificate issued by the
Minister of Transport Canada.
3
6
The Company believes it is operating in material compliance with FAA regulations
and holds all necessary operating and air worthiness certificates and licenses.
The Company's flight operations, maintenance programs, record keeping and
training programs are conducted under FAA approved procedures. The Company does
not operate at any airports where landing slots are restricted.
All air carriers are required to comply with federal law and regulations
pertaining to noise abatement and engine emissions. All air carriers are also
subject to certain provisions of the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, because of their extensive use of radio and other communication
facilities. Management believes that the Company is in compliance in all
material respects with these laws and regulations.
COMPETITION
The airline industry is highly competitive. The Company not only competes with
other regional airlines, some of which are owned by or are operated as code
sharing partners of major airlines, but also faces competition from major
airlines on certain routes. SkyWest is the dominant regional airline operating
out of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Competition in the southern
California markets, which are serviced by SkyWest from its hub in Los Angeles,
is particularly intense, with a large number of carriers in these markets. In
its markets served from the Los Angeles International Airport, SkyWest's
principal competitors include Mesa Airlines, Inc. (operating as "Mesa Airlines"
and "United Express"), Wings West, Inc. (operating as "American Eagle"), and
Trans States, Inc. (operating as "USAir Express" and "Trans World Express"). The
Company also faces indirect low-fare competition from carriers such as Southwest
Airlines and Shuttle by United.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors affecting decisions
by travelers in SkyWest's markets are the frequency, convenience and reliability
of flights and, to a lesser extent, the level of fares.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 17, 1997, the Company employed 2,179 full-time equivalent employees
consisting of 812 pilots and flight attendants, 244 maintenance personnel, 832
customer service personnel, 71 reservation and marketing personnel, and 220
employees engaged in accounting, administration and other functions. The
Company's employees are not represented by any union. The Company is aware,
however, that collective bargaining group organization efforts among its
employees occur from time to time and are expected to continue in the future.
The Company has never experienced any work stoppages and considers its
relationship with its employees to be very good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
FLIGHT EQUIPMENT
As of June 17, 1997, SkyWest owned or leased the following types of aircraft:
NUMBER OF SCHEDULED AVERAGE
AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CRUISING AVERAGE
----------------- PASSENGER RANGE SPEED AGE
TYPE OF AIRCRAFT OWNED LEASED CAPACITY (MILES) (MPH) (YEARS)
- ---------------- ----- ------ --------- --------- ---------------- ------
Brasilia................... 16 34 30 450 300 3.9
Canadair Regional Jet...... - 10 50 600 530 2.5
SkyWest's aircraft are primarily turboprop, pressurized aircraft designed to
operate more economically over short-haul routes with lower passenger load
factors than larger jet aircraft. These factors make it economically feasible
for SkyWest to provide high frequency service in markets with relatively low
volumes of passenger traffic. The Company's turboprop fleet consists entirely of
Brasilia aircraft. Passenger comfort features of the Brasilia aircraft include
stand-up headroom, a lavatory, overhead baggage compartments and flight
attendant service. Fiscal year 1995 marked the introduction of the Canadair
Regional Jet. The Company operates ten of these aircraft on stage lengths up to
600 miles. During fiscal 1997, the Company acquired 15 Brasilia aircraft and
terminated the 18 remaining Metroliner long-term operating leases.
The Company has secured options to purchase an additional ten Brasilia aircraft
at fixed prices (subject to cost escalation and delivery schedules). These
options are exercisable through fiscal 1999. Options to acquire an additional
ten Canadair Regional Jets have been secured which are exercisable at any time
with no expiration. Any decision to acquire additional aircraft will depend upon
the Company's future operations, competitive forces, financial resources and
other factors.
GROUND FACILITIES
Employees of the Company perform substantially all routine airframe and engine
maintenance and periodic inspection of equipment. Maintenance is performed
primarily at facilities in Palm Springs, California and Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Company owns a 56,600 square foot maintenance facility in Palm Springs,
California and leases a 90,000 square foot aircraft maintenance and training
facility at the Salt Lake International Airport. The facility consists of a
40,000 square foot maintenance hangar and 50,000 square feet of training and
other facilities to support the Company's growing hub operations. The facility
was constructed and is owned by the Salt Lake City Airport Authority. The
Company is leasing the facility under an operating lease arrangement over a
36-year term.
The Company leases ticket counters, check-in, and boarding and other facilities
in the passenger terminal areas in the majority of the airports it serves and
staffs these facilities with Company personnel. Delta provides ticket handling
and/or ground support services for the Company in 15 of the 48 airports it
serves.
The Company owns a new terminal and hangar facility in Page, Arizona consisting
of 11,500 square feet of office and terminal space and 22,000 square feet of
maintenance hangar space. The Company also owns a new terminal and hangar
facility in Las Vegas, Nevada consisting of 39,500 square feet of office and
terminal space and 28,500 square feet of maintenance hangar space.
The Company's corporate headquarters are located in a 63,000 square foot
building in St. George, Utah. Management deems the Company's facilities as being
suitable and necessary to support existing operations and facilities are
adequate for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings incident to its business. In
the opinion of management, none of such proceedings are expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 1997.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock is traded over-the-counter and quoted in the NASDAQ
National Market System under the symbol "SKYW." At June 17, 1997, there were
approximately 1054 stockholders of record. Securities held of record do not
include shares held in securities position listings. The following table sets
forth the range of high and low closing sales prices for the Company's Common
