This performance report includes operating statistics for the 50-seat regional jet fleet operated by SkyWest Airlines, affecting year-over-year comparisons for Midwest Air Group and Midwest Connect. That service, which launched April 1, 2007, has allowed for the opening of new markets as well as the conversion to Midwest Connect of some flights previously flown by Midwest Airlines.
