ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On January 19, 1998, SkyWest Airlines, Inc. ("SkyWest"), a wholly-owned
operating subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc. (the "Registrant"), and United Air Lines,
Inc. ("United") entered into a United Express Agreement (the "United Express
Agreement"), pursuant to which SkyWest has operated as a United Express
carrier at United's hub in Los Angeles, California since October 1, 1997.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the United Express Agreement, SkyWest
and United entered into an Addendum to the United Express Agreement (the "United
Express Addendum"), pursuant to which SkyWest will also operate as the United
Express carrier at United's hub in San Francisco, California, beginning June 1,
1998. Under the United Express Agreement, SkyWest presently offers 120 scheduled
daily United Express departures coordinated to connect with United's flights
from Los Angeles International Airport. The United Express Addendum contemplates
that SkyWest will offer approximately 168 scheduled daily departures coordinated
to connect with United's flights from San Francisco International Airport. The
United Express Agreement expires in September 2002 with respect to operations in
Los Angeles and in May 2008 with respect to operations in San Francisco, subject
to termination by United upon 180 days' notice. United may, however, terminate
the United Express Agreement for cause upon 30 days' written notice.
