DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-200540) (the “Registration Statement”) of SkyWest, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2014.

On January 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale (the “Sale”) of its wholly owned subsidiary ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. (“ExpressJet”). As a result of the Sale, the Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. Investment Savings Plan (the “Plan”), which was a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of ExpressJet, is no longer maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and no longer allows further investments into shares of the Company’s securities.

As a result, any and all offerings of securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement in respect of the Plan have been terminated. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement in respect of the Plan but unsold as of the date hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates only to the securities described herein and shall have no effect on the shares registered under the Registration Statement in respect of the SkyWest, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan.
