St. George, UT, November 17, 2005 – SkyWest Magazine, the in-flight publication for SkyWest, Inc.’s (NASDAQ : SKYW) wholly-owned subsidiary SkyWest Airlines, is excited to feature Ventura, California as part of its Delta Connection and United Express November/December editions.

Showcasing Ventura, also known as “California Coast’s Rising Star,” the feature delves into Ventura’s abundant shopping, dining and historical sightseeing opportunities.

Jim Luttjohann, executive director of the Ventura Visitors and Convention Bureau, said, “I can’t wait to have all of the SkyWest readers learn about our amazing community and all of its attributes. Our city’s shopping, dining, cultural activities galore, and of course, the amazing channel islands located just off our coast will certainly impress tourists.”

Luttjohann also said he is sure once tourists come to experience Ventura and its beauty, they will return for future visits.

The full-color article will begin its two month run on November 1 and will reach an audience of more than 2.5 million passengers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
