ST. GEORGE, Utah, July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyWest, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: SKYW) ("SkyWest") today reported 149,300 block hours in
June 2018, compared to 159,200 block
hours in June 2017, a decrease of
9,900 or 6.2%. The net decrease was consistent with SkyWest's fleet
transition plan to improve the mix of aircraft in its fleet by
adding new E175 aircraft, while reducing its 50-seat jets.
The year-over-year net change was primarily driven by
approximately 6,100 additional block hours from its E175 aircraft
(includes the E175 aircraft and the E175 SC aircraft) and a
decrease of approximately 16,000 block hours from its other
aircraft types.
In June 2018, SkyWest's E175
aircraft represented approximately 25% of SkyWest's total block
hour production for the month compared to approximately 20% for the
month of June 2017.
SkyWest reported 875,500 block hours for year-to-date
June 2018, compared to 919,800 block
hours year-to-date June 2017, a
decrease of 44,300, or 4.8%. This net change was primarily driven
by approximately 39,000 additional block hours from its E175
aircraft and a decrease of approximately 83,300 block hours from
its other aircraft types.
SkyWest had 87,000 departures in June
2018 compared to 96,000 in June
2017, a decrease of 9,000, or 9.4%. Additional flight
