St. George, UT, December 16, 2005 – SkyWest Magazine, the in-flight publication for SkyWest, Inc.’s (NASDAQ : SKYW) wholly-owned subsidiary SkyWest Airlines, is excited to feature Sacramento, California as part of its Delta Connection and United Express January/February editions.

The Capital of California, Sacramento is known for its rich-history associated with the California Gold Rush and Sutter’s Fort which was built more than 150 years ago.

Lucy Steffens, Director of Travel Media for the Sacramento Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, said “The feature portrays Sacramento as not only a destination with plenty of history, but also a modern city with fabulous accommodations, restaurants, shopping and arts. It’s definitely worth a visit.”

Steffens also said that the Old Sacramento Historic Area is Sacramento’s number one visitor attraction and that its horse drawn carriages, wooden sidewalks, cobblestone streets and 100-year-old restored buildings still evoke the spirit of the California Gold Rush era.

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