Seaport Airlines Launches Service in Arkansas

PC-12 operator Seaport Airlines has launched new scheduled service between Memphis and four Arkansas communities. Seaport will provide three round-trips daily except Saturdays to Jonesboro, Harrison, Hot Springs and El Dorado. The communities have been without regular service since 2008, when Air Midwest, a subsidiary of Mesa Airlines, pulled out of the markets. SeaPort beat out several companies that submitted proposals to the Department of Transportation and signed a two-year contract to provide the service for a $6,047,789 federal subsidy
