Republic Airways may, from time-to-time, make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements encompass Republic Airways' beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding future events.

All forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to Republic Airways as of such date. Republic Airways assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Actual results may vary, and may vary materially, from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected for a number of reasons, including, among others, that: Republic Airways is dependent on its code-share relationships with its major partners; terrorist attacks have harmed Republic Airways' business in the past and may harm its business in the future; Republic Airways' code-share agreements with United and/or US Airways will be terminated if United and/or US Airways does not emerge from bankruptcy; One or more of Republic Airways' other code share partners may file a bankruptcy petition; Republic Airline, a wholly owned subsidiary, requires an operating certificate before it can commence flying operations; if the financial strength of any of Republic Airways' code-share partners decreases, Republic Airways' financial strength is at risk; Republic Airways' code-share partners may expand their direct operation of regional jets thus limiting the expansion of Republic Airways' relationship with them; any labor disruption or labor strikes would adversely affect Republic Airways' ability to conduct its business; Republic Airways' current growth plans may be materially affected by substantial risks, some of which are outside of Republic Airways' control; Republic Airways' code-share partners may be restricted in increasing the level of business that they conduct with Republic Airways, thereby limiting its growth; Republic Airways' fleet expansion program will require a significant increase in Republic Airways' leverage and the financing it requires may not be available on favorable terms or at all; Republic Airways may be subject to additional liability in connection with its decision to phase out of revenue service its Saab 340 aircraft; Republic Airways depends on Embraer to supply Republic Airways with the aircraft it requires to expand; reduced utilization levels of Republic Airways' aircraft under the fixed-fee agreements would adversely impact its revenues and earnings; increases in Republic Airways' labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of Republic Airways' total operating costs, will directly impact Republic Airways' earnings; Republic Airways' business could be harmed if Republic Airways loses the services of its key personnel; Republic Airways may experience difficulty finding, training and retaining employees; Republic Airways flies and depends upon Embraer regional jets and Republic Airways' business is at risk if it does not receive timely deliveries of aircraft or if the public negatively perceives Republic Airways' aircraft; Republic Airways is at risk of losses stemming from an accident involving any of its aircraft; Republic Airways will be controlled by Wexford Capital as long as they own or control a majority of its common stock, and they may make decisions with which other stockholders disagree; Republic Airways may have conflicts of interest with Wexford Capital, and because of their controlling ownership, Republic Airways may not be able to resolve these conflicts on an arm's length basis; the airline industry has been subject to a number of strikes which could affect Republic Airways' business; the airline industry is highly competitive; airlines are often affected by certain factors beyond their control, including weather conditions which can affect their operations; the airline industry has recently gone through a period of consolidation and transition; consequently, Republic Airways has fewer potential partners; and the airline industry is heavily regulated.
