Mesa Air Group (Mesa) has announced that shareholders have approved all proposals presented at the company’s special meeting, including the adoption of the merger agreement with Republic Airways Holdings (Republic).

The merger proposal secured 29,695,963 votes in favour, 185,635 against, and 37,271 abstentions — around 99.25% of votes cast. No broker non-votes were recorded. Shareholders representing roughly 71.4% of the outstanding shares eligible to vote were present in person or by proxy.

“We appreciate the strong and clear support our shareholders have provided,” said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa’s Chairman and CEO. “This vote confirms the strategic value of combining Mesa and Republic and positions the combined company for greater scale and long-term stability.”

Mesa will file a current report on Form 8-K outlining the final certified voting results.

The merger remains subject to standard regulatory approvals and closing conditions and is expected to complete later this week.
