History
Skywest began service in 1963 as Carnarvon Air Taxis. The airline was owned by Ansett Australia, operating flights on their behalf, until Ansett's demise in 2002. The organisation was then successfully purchased by private investors. In 2004 it was the subject of a hostile takeover attempt by a Singapore-based private equity fund, which succeeded in gaining a majority stake.
