“Given the state of the world economy and resulting decrease in leisure travel, we are encouraged by stronger than projected October traffic and a significant decrease in the cost of fuel,” said Mesa Air Group Chairman and CEO Jonathan Ornstein. “We have made a significant investment in our Hawai`i operation and are increasingly optimistic about the future. We would like to thank all of the friends, families and business people of Hawai`i for their continued support as we continue to work in providing the best service at the lowest cost,” Mr. Ornstein added.
