ST. GEORGE, Utah, July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyWest, Inc.,

June 2017, compared to 168,060 block
hours in June 2016, a decrease of

aircraft types.
In June 2017, SkyWest's dual class
aircraft represented approximately 51% of SkyWest's total block
hour production for the month compared to approximately 43% for the
month of June 2016.
SkyWest reported 919,783 block hours for year-to-date
June 2017, compared to 980,209 block
hours year-to-date June 2016, a
decrease of 60,426, or 6.2%. This net change was primarily
driven by approximately 76,400 additional block hours from its E175
aircraft and a decrease of approximately 136,800 block hours from
its other aircraft types.

2017 compared to 101,230 in June
