ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

On June 24, 2002, SkyWest, Inc. (NASDAQ/NNM: SKYW) dismissed its independent auditor, Arthur Andersen LLP (“Arthur Andersen”), and appointed KPMG LLP as its new independent auditor, effective immediately. These actions were approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there was no disagreement between the Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its reports, and there occurred no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The audit reports of Arthur Andersen on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, the Registrant did not consult with KPMG LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant will provide a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Arthur Andersen no later than to the date of filing of this report. The Registrant will undertake to file a copy of Arthur Andersen’s letter (as required by Item 304 (a) (3) of Regulation S-K) as an exhibit to an amendment of this report on Form 8-K within 10 business days of the date of filing of this report.

ITEM 7 (c). EXHIBITS
