SeaPort Airlines to Fly to Salem

Portland based SeaPort Airlines begins service in Salem April 25, 2011 with twice daily flights to Newport, Portland and continuing to Seattle’s Boeing Field Monday-Friday.

Seaport’s flights to Salem would be similar to the flights between Portland and Seattle in that customers would not need to interact with the TSA before boarding. Seaport is able to avoid that step because it manages its own private terminals.

Salem’s 751-acre airport has not had any commercial flights since Delta pulled out and is only used for the Oregon National Guard support and general aviation. The city’s urban development department recently named Mark Jucht as the new airport manager with a goal to expand services.

Schedule

Monday – Friday | Non-stop flights to Portland and Newport, Oregon
Monday – Friday | Direct flights to Seattle, Washington (Boeing Field)

Reservations: 1-888-573-2767
