Message to Our Customers

June 23, 2009

Dear Valued Midwest Airlines Customer:

Republic Airways Holdings of Indianapolis announced today its acquisition of Midwest Airlines.

Midwest Air Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings and Midwest Airlines will continue to operate as a branded carrier with its current route network. Our customers can book and fly on us with continuing confidence.

Becoming part of a strong, growing airline group will help ensure a more viable future for Midwest Airlines. Republic is a quality organization that recognizes and respects the bond Midwest has with its customers, employees and the communities we serve. They believe in the power of our brand, our schedule and our people. Republic can bring operational efficiencies and financial strength to Midwest that we as a stand-alone carrier cannot achieve.

As always, thank you for your support of Midwest Airlines. We look forward to continuing to earn your business by providing the outstanding service you deserve.

Sincerely,
Timothy E. Hoeksema
Chairman, Midwest Airlines
