"We apologize to customers for the inconvenience; we are working to minimize the impact on Friday’s schedule and to return to normal operations as quickly as possible."
It is ‘still experiencing operational disruption as we work to get crew and aircraft into position.’
American Airlines said more than 200 flights were affected on Thursday and Friday.
It affected about 400 Delta flights.
SkyWest operates a fleet of over 450 aircraft, offering feeder flights into major hubs for the big airlines.
