Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On August 20, 2009, Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it had entered into an agreement with a major holder of its Senior Convertible Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") to exchange $14.3 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2024 Notes for 13,571,428 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value. The number of shares of common stock was determined by dividing $2.85 million, which reflected the parties' agreed upon discounted value of the 2024 Notes, by $0.21, which amount was agreed to by the parties in view of recent market prices for the Company's common stock. The issuance of the common stock in the exchange, which closed on or about August 24, 2009, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) and Section 4(2) thereof.

The press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
