Mesa Air Group makes the jump to Europe

The Mesa Air Group has announced it has entered into a conditional agreement with Gramercy Associates Ltd. to launch a European-based joint-venture. The new company will apply for an EU AOC and the plan is to have the airline up and running before the end of the year. Complying to EU-law, Mesa Air Group will own 49% of the shares of the new company.

Using a fleet of CRJ900s the new airline will provide ACMI (Aircraft, Maintenance, Crew and Insurance) capacity or conclude CPA (Capacity Purchase Agreement) deals with airlines in Europe for passenger and/or cargo-flights. These services mirror what Mesa Air Group is offering in the US where the airline group flies (regional) aircraft for major airlines.
