Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On May 29, 2008, Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company won a preliminary injunction in Federal Court in Atlanta enjoining Delta Air Lines (“Delta”) from terminating its Connection Agreement with the Company, and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Freedom Airlines, Inc. (“Freedom”) (the “Connection Agreement”). The ruling was issued earlier today by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “District Court”).

     The Company had previously reported that on March 28, 2008, Delta had notified the Company of its intent to terminate the Connection Agreement. The Connection Agreement includes, among other arrangements, the Company’s agreement to operate 34 model ERJ-145 regional jets leased by the Company utilizing Delta’s name. In fiscal 2007, the Connection Agreement accounted for approximately 20% of the Company’s 2007 total revenues. Delta sought to terminate the Connection Agreement as a result of Freedom’s alleged failure to maintain a specified completion rate with respect to its ERJ-145 Delta Connection flights during three months of the six-month period ended February 2008.

     On April 7, 2008, the Company filed a lawsuit against Delta alleging breach of the Connection Agreement and seeking specific performance by Delta of its obligations thereunder. On May 9, 2008, the Company filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the District Court against Delta to prevent its wrongful termination of the Delta Connection Agreement. The hearing for this matter commenced on May 27, 2008 and ended earlier today following the District Court’s ruling in favor of the Company.

     The full text of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
