SeaPort Air initiated service recently from Seattle-Boeing Field, WA to Portland, OR. The airline provides all the advantages of private business travel to the commercial world of air travel. SeaPort operates 8 flights daily, Monday through Friday, and 5 flights on the weekends. The airline advertises a 90 minute flight between the destinations and gets travellers closer to downtown Seattle, giving travellers a better alternative offered by large carriers who chose to use the giant Seattle-Tacoma Airport.
SeaPort operates the pristine, turboprop PilatusPC-12 aircraft on its route. The PC-12 travels at a cruise speed of 312.5 mph, which is fairly quick. I have to give the CEO of SeaPort a pat on the back for choosing this aircraft. Due to its low capacity, travellers are not required to pass through security checkpoints, which makes hopping on the plane much easier.
