Why AIR SHUTTLE
Mesa Airlines started in 1980 as Mesa Air Shuttle, flying a single Piper Saratoga between Farmington and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Larry and Janie Risley bought it in 1982 and built the airline on it; the call sign kept the original name.
Mesa Airlines is an American regional airline headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. It operates under a capacity purchase agreement to fly regional jet routes exclusively as United Express for United Airlines. Mesa is an integral part of the United Express feeder network across North America.
