The Company’s consolidated results reported in the second quarter of 2026 include the results of Mesa Airlines, Inc. (“Mesa”), while comparable prior periods exclude any Mesa results because the merger of Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and Mesa Air Group, Inc. was consummated on November 25, 2025 (the “Merger”).

Second quarter 2026 GAAP highlights:
Revenues of $571.1 million
Operating income of $58.7 million with an operating margin of 10.3%1
Pre-tax income of $43.4 million with a pre-tax margin of 7.6%1
Net income of $31.2 million with a net income margin of 5.5%1
Net income per diluted common share of $0.68
Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $277.6 million
Total debt and lease liabilities of $1.2 billion

2 Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted pre-tax income and margin, adjusted net income, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net debt, and leverage are non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information about the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section within this press release.

Exhibit 99.1
Ended quarter with total fleet of 314 aircraft, of which 275 aircraft are operated under capacity purchase agreements with American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, with 31 aircraft leased to American Airlines and eight unallocated spare aircraft
Achieved block hour production of 226,815 for Q2 2026
Achieved completion factor of 98.21% or 0.86 points above Q2 2025 performance of 97.35%
Controllable completion factor, excluding weather, air traffic control, and partner requested cancellations, of 99.99% for Q2 2026
Substantial progress on Merger integration activities - core support functions are substantially complete and harmonization process of operational policies and procedures with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) are on track

“Our strong second quarter results reflect the continued commitment of our associates and the strength of demand from our partners” said Matt Koscal, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We increased production, delivered a 98% completion factor and made meaningful progress across each of our integration workstreams, while continuing to provide a safe and reliable service. Our focus remains on the execution of our integration plans, improving efficiency, and supporting the operations to deliver industry-leading operational performance and exceeding our financial targets which will create long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

Financial Results
Results are compared to the prior year quarterly period unless otherwise noted.

Revenues were $571.1 million, up $165.5 million, or 40.8%. The increase is primarily attributable to the 35.9% increase in block hour production related to the 60 additional E175 aircraft operating for United Airlines related to the Merger and increased daily block hour utilization throughout the entire fleet.

Operating expenses were $512.4 million, up $161.2 million, or 45.9%. The increase is primarily attributable to the expenses associated with the increase in aircraft and associates in conjunction with the Merger. For the second quarter of 2026, operating expenses include $13.6 million of executive separation and Merger-related items.

Balance sheet, cash, and liquidity
The Company generated $49.3 million of operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $277.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand.

The Company has 26 additional E175 aircraft on order with Embraer, with scheduled deliveries expected from 2028 through 2030. Total capital expenditures inclusive of aircraft, rotable spare parts, and pre-delivery deposits for aircraft on order totaled $20.5 million for the second quarter of 2026.

Exhibit 99.1

Total debt and operating lease liabilities at June 30, 2026 were $1.2 billion. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s adjusted net debt2 was $916.9 million, and second quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDAR2 was $109.6 million, resulting in trailing twelve-month leverage2 of 2.4x.

Mesa Merger Integration Update
The Company continued its progress in the full integration of key support functions including human resources, accounting and finance, and supply chain during the second quarter of 2026. In addition, we began executing on several operational and administrative workstreams that will pave the way for operations under a single operating certificate in the future.

We continue to expect the integration process to take between 18-24 more months and expect to realize true operational synergies upon the consolidation of operating certificates.
Full Year 2026 Guidance Update
The Company is updating the following full year 2026 guidance, previously provided in the April 29, 2026 update:

Company issued guidance: April 29, 2026 July 30, 2026
Revenues ~ $2.0 billion ~ $2.1 billion
Block hour production at least 865,000 at least 880,000
Adjusted EBITDAR2
> $380.0 million $395 - $405 million
Capital expenditures, net of new debt ~ $90 million ~ $90 million
Debt repayments ~ $165 million ~ $165 million

A reconciliation of the forward-looking guidance for the non-GAAP metric of Adjusted EBITDAR cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately
forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such
reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably
predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the
unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial
results.

Earnings call
The Company will host a live webcast to discuss second quarter 2026 financial results on Thursday, July 30, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. The webcast link and related presentation materials are available at investor.rjet.com. A replay of the webcast will be available shortly after the webcast.
