SeaPort Airlines operates the Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, a Swiss-built pressurized turboprop that burns only 51 gallons of jet fuel per Seattle-Portland segment, on average."By operating one of the most efficient aircraft in commercial aviation, not only are we able to control our jet fuel costs, but we're also able to go one step further and mitigate the environmental impact of our fuel consumption," said Kent Craford, SeaPort Airlines CEO. "We wanted to put that money into an environmental project that is local, tangible and provides a long-term benefit to the Pacific Northwest. In the Columbia Land Trust, we've found an organization doing just that."
SeaPort Airlines is an FAA Part 135 certified regularly scheduled air service. SeaPort Air and its sister airline, Wings of Alaska, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SeaPort Air Group, a Portland-based company founded by Portland investors John Beardsley, Tom Carrollo and Kent Craford.
