Quarterly operating expenses increased 7.5%, including a 93.8% rise in fuel expense, which the company attributed in part to more prorate and charter flying and higher fuel prices. Effective July 1, 2026, SkyWest extended estimated useful lives of E175 aircraft, spare engines and related rotable parts from 22 to 30 years and changed aircraft residual value estimates from 20% to 18% of original acquisition cost; these revisions reduced depreciation by approximately $18.5 million in the three- and nine-month periods.

Net income was $120 million, or $3.08 per diluted share, compared with $116 million and $2.81 per diluted share in Q3 2025. Operating expenses were $941 million, up from $876 million, reflecting increased production costs and higher prorate fuel costs.
