Despite major declines in commercial airline use, Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group Inc. reported another positive quarter this week.

The regional airline that operated flights for American Airlines and United Airlines, said that for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended on Sept. 30, the company had earnings of $11.4 million, or 32 cents per share.
