SeaPort Airlines will now fly in Arkansas. The airline has landed a federal air service contract to serve four Arkansas communities from a hub in Memphis, Tenn. SeaPort will serve leisure and business travelers through three daily round-trip flights weekdays and three round-trip flights weekends to Jonesboro, El Dorado, Harrison and Hot Springs, Ark.

The agreement is SeaPort’s first expansion outside the Pacific Northwest. The new service will begin in the fall. Seaport now flies to and from Portland, Seattle, Pendleton, Astoria and Newport using a small, propeller-driven aircraft, the nine-seat Pilatus PC-12. Since its start June 30, 2008, SeaPort has carried more than 20,000 passengers.
