Mesa Airlines, Inc has gained an agreement with Bombardier on a new order for seven Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Jets. The agreement is only on "principle" and still requires further documentation from Mesa Airlines for the order to be official. Mesa is expecting that the aircraft will built and delivered to Mesa in 2015. The seven additional CRJ900 jets will bring Mesa Airlines' total CRJ900 fleet up to 64 aircraft. The regional airline will be flying the new CRJ900s under a long term capacity purchase agreement (CPA) with one of the large airlines in the United States. The company did not announce which airline it has reached an agreement with for the CPA. Right now Mesa is operating the CRJ900 for US Airways (American Airlines Group). It is unknown if these CRJ900s will be placed at US Airways or with a new airline that Mesa is not flying for currently.

Also the order has not yet been announced by Bombardier on their site.
