 Exhibit 10.9.11 

TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE CAPACITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This Tenth Amendment (this “Amendment”) is entered into this 3rd day of May 2017, by and among United
Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“United”), Mesa Airlines, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Contractor”) and Mesa Air Group, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Parent”) and is
effective as of January 01, 2017. 
 WHEREAS, United, Contractor and Parent are parties to that certain Capacity
Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2013 (as previously amended by the parties thereto, the “Agreement”) (Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the same meanings as those contained in the
Agreement.); 
 WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreement to address the circumstances and terms related to
Section 3.6(b) (iii),Section 4.20, and Schedule 2, Table 1 and Table 1A. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the Agreement
as follows: 
  

	 	1.	 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings ascribed to them under the Agreement.



  

	 	2.	 Article III is hereby amended to add a new subsection 3.6(b)(iii) (A) (17) “Mexico Regulatory
Rendered Services for on-call maintenance services under any maintenance agreement” 


  

	 	2.	 Section 4.20 (a) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following; 



(a) Early Brake Provision. 

For all Scheduled Flight departures of Covered Aircraft operated by Contractor under this Agreement, no more than [***] will
be permitted to elapse between the brake release and the call to push (any such period, regardless of whether such period is greater or less than [***] in length, a “EBR Period” and such [***] timeframe, the “EBR
Goal”). United, or its representatives, will periodically measure (with a minimum sample of thirty (30) measurements) Contractor’s EBR Periods and will provide reports detailing the observed EBR Periods; provided that the
process of conducting such measurement may be altered at any time and from time to time by United in its sole discretion. If, in any given calendar month, Contractor’s average observed EBR Period for Scheduled Flight departures is greater than
the EBR Goal, United shall provide Contractor with written notice that Contractor has not met the EBR Goal, following which Contractor shall have a thirty (30) day period (such thirty (30) day period, the “ERR Cure
Period”) during which to reduce its average EBR Period to an observed average EBR Period less than or equivalent to the EBR Goal. If Contractor has not reduced its average EBR Period to an observed average EBR Period that is less than or
equivalent to the EBR Goal as of the end of the EBR Cure Period, then Contractor shall owe a payment (the “EBR Payment”) to United equal to the product of (x) the 












 
excess of the observed average EBR Period during the EBR Cure Period over [***], multiplied by (y) the number of completed Contractor’s Scheduled Flight departures of Covered Aircraft
during such EBR Cure Period, multiplied by (z) one-sixtieth of the block hour rate set forth on Schedule 2A or Schedule 2B, as the case may be. The EBR Payment will be made by Contractor to
United as provided in Section 3.6(c)(ii). Contractor’s average EBR Period shall be continuously tested in successive EBR Cure Periods and Contractor shall pay the applicable EBR Payment with respect w each such EBR
Cure Period, until Contractor meets the EBR Goal with respect to a EBR Cure Period. For purposes of clarity, an example of the calculation of an observed average EBR Period and a EBR Payment arc provided below.
