A small, Portland-based airline has announced plans to do what giant, Dallas-based Southwest Airlines could not three years ago: set up air service between Seattle and another major city from Boeing Field.
SeaPort Airlines has announced a new service from Boeing Field near downtown Seattle to Portland beginning June 30.
The carrier will fly eight weekday round trips between the two airports using a single-engine turboprop Pilatus PC-12.
The airline has scheduled four Saturday and Sunday roundtrips between the two airports.
It expects to attract travelers who want to avoid the security hassles at Sea-Tac Airport and at Portland International Airport. SeaPort will use a private terminal at Portland.
Tickets will cost from $149 to $224. |
