Mesa Airlines

Mesa Airlines (YV/ASH) is a U.S. regional airline headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. For travelers, it is mainly encountered as an operator of United Express flights: United sells the tickets, while Mesa provides the aircraft, crew and maintenance. Mesa describes Houston Intercontinental as its largest E175 base and also lists Washington Dulles among its operating bases. Its network role is regional feed, linking smaller airports with United hubs rather than operating as a standalone low-cost, full-service long-haul, or cargo airline. Loyalty and alliance context should be read through the United Express/United side: United Express is associated with MileagePlus and Star Alliance affiliate flying, while Mesa does not present a separate public frequent-flyer program for passengers.
