Republic Airways Holdings Financials
Republic Airways Holdings re-entered the public market on November 25, 2025 via the all-stock merger with Mesa Air Group (Mesa was the surviving corporation, then renamed Republic Airways Holdings Inc. at close, retaining Mesa's NASDAQ listing under a new ticker RJET). The combined entity flies as American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express under capacity-purchase agreements with the three largest US mainline carriers. The page covers what is disclosed: live FY2025 revenue from SEC EDGAR XBRL, the post-merger fleet of 311 Embraer E170/E175 aircraft, three-way customer concentration on the CPAs, and the major-events timeline.

Post-merger reporting begins 2025-11-25
Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and Mesa Air Group, Inc. completed an all-stock merger on November 25, 2025. Mesa Air Group, Inc. was the surviving corporation and was renamed Republic Airways Holdings Inc. at close, retaining Mesa's pre-merger NASDAQ listing under a new ticker RJET. The pre-merger Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (a different legal entity, formerly under SEC CIK 0001159154) was a private company between April 2017 (Chapter 11 emergence) and merger close, with no public XBRL filings during that period.
Stock price (RJET)
Live current price plus the post-relisting history. The chart's range covers the post-November-25-2025 trading history under the new RJET ticker (the pre-merger Mesa Air Group ticker MESA traded under the same NASDAQ listing prior to the rename); for context, this is a much shorter window than most charts on this site, by design.

Earnings Reaction History
Quarterly print-day reactions across the 2 post-merger combined-entity prints to date. The combined entity began trading on NASDAQ as RJET on November 25, 2025; this section is populated only for post-merger prints (pre-merger Mesa standalone prints are excluded because they reflect a different entity context). Sell-side analyst-consensus coverage of newly-relisted RJET is currently thin; consensus columns mark pending until aggregator coverage matures. Stock-price moves are computed live from the Yahoo Finance v8 chart endpoint.

Annual revenue (FY2023–FY2025)
Live from SEC EDGAR XBRL under the surviving-corporation CIK 0000810332 (formerly Mesa Air Group, renamed Republic Airways Holdings Inc. at merger close). The vertical red dashed line marks the November 25, 2025 merger close. Pre-FY2025 values reflect Mesa Air Group standalone; FY2025 spans Mesa-only January 1 – November 24 plus combined Republic + Mesa November 25 – December 31. The pre-2017 old-Republic-Airways-Holdings public history (under discontinued CIK 0001159154) is referenced in the timeline section below as prose; it is not on this chart.
Other metrics from EDGAR
Operating income, net income, operating cash flow, capex, and stock-based compensation — pulled live from SEC EDGAR XBRL. Same merger-boundary caveat applies: pre-FY2025 columns reflect Mesa Air Group standalone, FY2025 reflects partial-year combined (Mesa-only Jan 1 – Nov 24 + Republic+Mesa combined Nov 25 – Dec 31).

Fleet composition (Embraer E170 / E175 family)
Year-end fleet count by aircraft type, hand-curated from each year's 10-K Item 2 (Properties) section. Republic operates exclusively the Embraer E170/E175 family; the E170 sub-fleet is being phased out as E175LL deliveries continue. The FY2025 row reflects the post-merger combined entity (Mesa's pre-merger ~60 E175 aircraft were added on November 25, 2025).
| Year-end | E170 | E175 | Total | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 23 | 288 | 311 | Combined post-merger fleet at FY2025 year-end. The merger closed November 25, 2025 and added Mesa's pre-merger ~60 E175 aircraft to Republic's pre-merger ~245 E170/E175 family, with five-week period of integration through year-end. |
| FY2024 | 20 | 218 | 238 | Mesa Air Group standalone fleet at FY2024 year-end (under Mesa's pre-merger SEC reporting). Mesa's E175-only by then; Republic's standalone fleet was approximately 245 across both Embraer types but reported under the discontinued pre-2017 CIK 0001159154 (private company). |
Customer concentration: three capacity-purchase agreements
Republic earns substantially all of its revenue under capacity-purchase agreements (CPAs) with American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines — flying as American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express respectively. Customer-concentration risk is three-way and load-bearing.
For fiscal year 2025, Republic earned substantially all of its revenue under capacity-purchase agreements with American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. Under these agreements Republic flies regional aircraft on routes the major carriers select, branded as American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express respectively. Republic carries no consumer-facing pricing risk, no fuel-price risk (fuel is reimbursed by the major-carrier counterparty), and no demand risk on the routes flown. Customer-concentration risk is therefore three-way and load-bearing: any single CPA non-renewal or material amendment would materially impact Republic's earnings.
Source: FY2025 10-K filed 2026-03-19. Paraphrased from Item 1 (Business) of the FY2025 10-K. The 10-K does not disclose the per-customer revenue percentage breakdown publicly; the qualitative framing above is the most-specific disclosure available.
How a capacity-purchase agreement works
Republic's revenue model differs structurally from a consumer-facing scheduled passenger airline. Under capacity-purchase agreements (CPAs), Republic supplies regional aircraft, crews, maintenance, and ground operations to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. The major carriers in turn handle scheduling, ticketing, gates, and consumer relationships. Republic earns a per-block-hour fee plus pass-through reimbursement for fuel, navigation, landing, and similar variable costs. The structure means Republic's earnings are decoupled from passenger demand and fuel-price volatility within each CPA's term.
Renewal cycle. CPA terms are typically multi-year (5–10 year base periods with extension options) and are renegotiated on a staggered cadence. Material CPA renewal events are disclosed in the 10-K's Item 1 (Business) and Item 7 (MD&A); follow-on amendments file as Item 1.01 8-Ks. The recurring refresh task should re-walk for any CPA amendment 8-Ks since the last refresh.

Methodology & data sources
Live data. Annual revenue, operating income, net income, operating cash flow, capex, and stock-based compensation are sourced live from Republic Airways Holdings' SEC EDGAR XBRL company-facts endpoint on every refresh. If EDGAR is unreachable when the page is being prepared, the page is not updated, so visitors never see stale fallback numbers.
Hand-curated, source-tagged. Year-end fleet composition by aircraft type (E170 vs E175 sub-counts), the customer-concentration narrative on the three capacity-purchase agreements with American, Delta, and United, the structural framing of how a CPA works, post-merger combined headcount, and the major-events timeline are not exposed in EDGAR companyfacts JSON. Each value is hand-curated from the underlying 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, or press release, and tagged with the filing's accession number.
CIK lineage and the merger boundary. Republic Airways Holdings Inc.'s post-merger SEC CIK is 0000810332 — the same CIK Mesa Air Group used pre-merger, since Mesa was the surviving corporation. Pre-November-25-2025 XBRL filings under this CIK report Mesa Air Group standalone, not Republic standalone; the multi-year revenue chart's vertical red dashed line marks the merger close. The pre-2017 old-Republic-Airways-Holdings (a different legal entity, public on NASDAQ as RJET from 2010 until the April 2017 take-private) sits under a different, now-discontinued CIK 0001159154. That history is referenced in the major-events timeline as prose; it is not on the multi-year chart.
Why this page is lighter on charts than the others. The post-merger combined-entity public history begins November 25, 2025. FY2025 reflects roughly 11 months of Mesa standalone plus 5 weeks of combined Republic + Mesa; FY2026 is the first full post-merger fiscal year. Multi-year trend framing across the merger boundary is annotated explicitly and is not directly comparable. As more annual filings land post-merger, additional sections (per-FY headcount chart, capex/revenue ratio chart, CPA renewal timeline, Earnings Reaction History) will be added. The recurring refresh task at work/tasks/refresh-republic-financials.md is the path to upgrading individual sections.
What's intentionally not here. Per-block-hour CPA rates (trade-secret, not in any public filing). Fuel-pass-through formula detail. Forward guidance, analyst estimates, and price targets (out of scope — the page is reported actuals). Pre-2017 old-Republic charts under the discontinued CIK (the splicing across two entities and a Chapter 11 would mislead more than it would inform). Per-event earnings-preview or earnings-recap pages (those page types were retired site-wide).
Cross-references. Sibling page (planned): Republic Airways Leadership. Per-airline profile: Republic Airways. Mesa Airlines (now a wholly-owned subsidiary): Mesa Airlines. Republic on the orgs roster: Republic Airways Holdings.
