Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group Inc. said its net income for the three months ending Sept. 30 was $4.8 million, or 12 cents per share, compared to $15 million, or 36 cents per share, in the year-earlier quarter.

Mesa said higher training costs and increased engine overhaul expenses on its Mainland operations led to the drop in profit.
