| ORGANIZATION & BUSINESS | ORGANIZATION & BUSINESS Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” the “Parent,” or “Republic”) is a Delaware holding company conducting substantially all of its operations through its wholly-owned regional air carrier subsidiaries, Republic Airways Inc. (“Republic Airways”) and Mesa Airlines, Inc. (“Mesa” or “Mesa Airlines”). The Company regularly provides scheduled passenger service on approximately 1,300 flights daily to approximately 125 cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean operating under the American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express brands through the Company’s partnerships with American Airlines, Inc. (“American Airlines”), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta Air Lines”), and United Airlines, Inc. (“United Airlines”) (collectively, our “Partners” or “Partner Airlines”) under fixed-fee capacity purchase agreements (“CPA,” or collectively, our “CPAs”). The Company’s operating subsidiaries, Republic Airways and Mesa Airlines, exclusively operate the Embraer E170/175 family of aircraft among our Partner Airlines’ hub and focus cities. On November 25, 2025, the Company and Mesa Air Group, Inc. (“Mesa Parent”), former parent company of Mesa Airlines, completed a merger between Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and Mesa Air Group, Inc., whereby the Company merged with and into Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the “Merger”). The legal entity Mesa Air Group, Inc. continued as the surviving corporation; however, upon completion of the Merger, the legal entity was renamed Republic Airways Holdings Inc. The Company, on a pre-Merger basis, is referred to as “Legacy Republic.” The Company includes the operations of Legacy Republic, and beginning on November 25, 2025, also includes the operations, financial position, and cash flows of the former entity Mesa Air Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. See Note 3, Merger with Mesa Air Group, Inc. Effective June 15, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Corporate Governance Committee, promoted Matthew J. Koscal to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently with Mr. Koscal's appointment, David Grizzle, serving in the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer vacated the position of Chief Executive Officer and resumed the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, a position previously held by Mr. Grizzle for the Legacy Republic Board of Directors since 2017, until assuming the Chief Executive Officer role prior to the Merger. The Company operates its Leadership In Flight Training Academy (“LIFT Academy”) with a mission to attract a new generation of aviation professionals to commercial aviation by providing superior flight training, while addressing the economic, regulatory, and structural barriers to entry to the aviation industry by offering its graduates a defined career pathway to First Officer with Republic Airways or Mesa. The Company also operates Bridge Air to provide additional cost-effective access to pilot time-building resources to meet minimum experience requirements to fly commercially for an airline such as Republic Airways or Mesa. Aircraft under operation for each of our Partner Airlines as of June 30, 2026 are as follows:
(1)Represents the minimum operating fleet out of a total of 283 aircraft as of June 30, 2026, excluding eight spare aircraft. (2)Excludes 31 aircraft leased to American Airlines as of June 30, 2026.
