SeaPort Airlines is a division of the Juneau, Alaska-based Kalinin group of regional airlines, which include Alaska Seaplanes and Island Air Express. The company was started in 1997 and today operates over two dozen aircraft and employs approximately 300 team members. Kalinin Chairman and CEO Kent Craford co-founded the first SeaPort Airlines in 2008. The new SeaPort Airlines is fulfilling its founders' original vision–bringing the Pacific Northwest Region closer together again, and actually getting you home for dinner. It's about time.
We fly Pilatus PC-12s. Dubbed the Swiss Army Knife of the Skies, the Pilatus PC-12 is statistically one of the safest pressurized turboprops ever built. Its legendary PT6A engine is one of the most reliable in aviation history, delivering jet-like performance with turboprop efficiency. It’s Swiss-built, extremely strong airframe and advanced avionics, make the PC-12 a trusted tool of the United States Air Force. The aircraft fall outside TSA jurisdiction, allowing SeaPort to operate from small Business Aviation terminals at Boeing Field (BFI), Portland (PDX) and Felts Field in Spokane (SFF).
All baggage must be weighed. Each passenger is allowed 50 lbs. of baggage on a scheduled flight. Weight totaling over 50 lbs. is subject to excess baggage fees. Excess baggage is allowed, however it may not fit on same flight as passenger and is subject to fees. Carry-on baggage will need to be secured in the cargo area of the aircraft.
Passenger check-in is 20 minutes prior to scheduled departure time. Passengers not checked-in 10 minutes before scheduled departure may be denied boarding without compensation. Failure to check-in on time will result in the cancellation of reserved seat(s). There may be occasions when aircraft flights may depart before or after scheduled times.
To maintain an on-time operation and as courtesy to other passengers our aircraft will not be held for late-arriving passengers.
One infant under two (2) years of age, not occupying a seat, may be carried free of charge with a full fare adult passenger.
An unaccompanied minor age five (5) through twelve (12) must have a responsible adult designated at the destination prior to flight’s departure and will be charged an Unaccompanied Minor Fee of $200 in addition to the regular fare.
FAA requires we account for actual passenger weight on each of our flights. Please provide Customer Service Agents your weight at the time of check-in.

Thank You!
Because your time is valuable—and the highway is unpredictable.
Driving between Portland, Seattle and Spokane can look straightforward on a map. In reality, travel times on I-5 and I-90 can change dramatically because of traffic congestion, accidents, construction, road closures and weather. Heavy rain and flooding can affect roadways, while snow and icy conditions can make winter travel across the Cascades particularly challenging. Even routine construction can turn a predictable drive into a much longer trip. WSDOT regularly advises travelers to allow extra time because of congestion, construction and changing road conditions.
SeaPort Airlines gives you another option: fly over the traffic instead of sitting in it.
Our convenient regional service is designed around speed, simplicity and reliability. SeaPort flies between smaller, easy-to-use airports—including Seattle’s Boeing Field and Spokane’s Felts Field—so you avoid both the highway and the crowds and delays of a major hub airport. There’s no TSA security line, parking is easy, and you can check in just 20 minutes before your scheduled departure.
And the time savings can be substantial. SeaPort estimates its service is twice as fast as driving I-5 and four times faster than driving I-90.
Perhaps most importantly, SeaPort has built its schedule around dependable regional transportation. While highway arrival times can be affected by everything from rush-hour traffic and crashes to flooding, construction, snow and ice, SeaPort's strong operational reliability—and history of flights frequently arriving on time or even ahead of schedule—can make planning your day much easier.
No traffic jams. No mountain passes. No flooded or icy highways. No wondering what the road will look like three hours from now.
Just arrive 20 minutes before departure, get on board, and let SeaPort turn hours behind the wheel into a quick, comfortable flight.
When getting there on time matters, fly over the problem. Fly SeaPort.
SeaPort Airlines operates from Boeing Field (BFI), just four miles south of downtown Seattle. That means you can skip many of the time-consuming parts of flying through a major airport and enjoy a much simpler way to travel.
At Sea-Tac, travelers are advised to arrive two hours before a domestic flight and need to allow time for airport traffic, parking, getting to the terminal and passing through TSA security. During busy travel periods, even finding a parking space can require additional time.
With SeaPort at Boeing Field, it’s a very different experience. There’s no TSA security screening, and passengers check in just 20 minutes before their scheduled departure. Parking is right next to the terminal—no massive parking garage, long walk or airport shuttle required. And currently, passenger parking at Boeing Field is free, compared with paid airport parking at Sea-Tac.
Boeing Field is also significantly closer to downtown Seattle than Sea-Tac. For travelers headed to downtown Seattle and many nearby business districts, that can mean less time getting to and from the airport in addition to the time saved once you arrive.
No Sea-Tac. No TSA lines. No crowded terminals. No expensive airport parking. No need to arrive two hours early.
Just park steps from the terminal, check in 20 minutes before departure and go.
That’s the SeaPort difference: less time dealing with the airport and more time getting where you actually need to be.
By making short regional trips simple again.
For decades, communities throughout the Pacific Northwest were connected by convenient regional air service. Over time, many of those nonstop routes disappeared as airlines consolidated service at large hub airports. The result? Trips between cities that are relatively close together often require hours of driving—or flying through a major airport, dealing with TSA lines, crowded terminals and connections that can take longer than the flight itself.
SeaPort Airlines is bringing back a better way to travel.
We connect Pacific Northwest communities with fast, nonstop flights between convenient regional airports, including Alternative airports to the big monsters, like Seattle’s Boeing Field and Spokane's Felts Field. By operating outside the major airline hub system, SeaPort can make regional trips feel regional again: easy airports, convenient parking, quick check-in, no TSA screening and no unnecessary connections.
Instead of spending hours driving I-5 or I-90—or arriving at a major airport hours before departure—SeaPort passengers can arrive just 20 minutes before their flight and be on their way.
It’s particularly valuable for business travelers. A trip that might otherwise require several hours behind the wheel can become a short flight, making it possible to spend more of the day meeting with customers, visiting offices or getting work done—and less of it sitting in traffic.
SeaPort is rebuilding the regional connections that once made traveling around the Pacific Northwest easy.
Smaller airports. Shorter trips. Nonstop flights. Less waiting. More of your day back.
That’s regional air travel the way it should be.
The scheduled Amtrak trip between Seattle and Portland takes roughly 3½ hours. That's the same for the new trains that just came online. And while the train avoids I-5 traffic, it still means committing a significant portion of your day to getting between the two cities.
SeaPort takes a different approach: a short regional flight between Portland and Seattle’s Boeing Field designed specifically to make getting between the two cities quick and easy.
SeaPort passengers can check in just 20 minutes before departure, with no TSA security screening and convenient parking right outside the terminal. In Seattle, SeaPort uses Boeing Field (BFI), just four miles south of downtown, rather than Sea-Tac. That means you avoid the time and hassle of traveling through a major commercial airport altogether.
SeaPort also offers multiple flights throughout the business day, giving travelers more flexibility to choose a departure that fits their schedule rather than building their day around a several-hour train ride.
For business travelers, the difference can be especially important. SeaPort can make a Seattle–Portland day trip genuinely practical—fly down for a meeting, spend the day doing business and fly home, rather than spending seven hours or more of your day riding the train round trip.
Amtrak Cascades is a nice choice when the journey itself is a big part of the experience. SeaPort is built for travelers who want to get there.
20-minute check-in. No TSA. Boeing Field. Frequent flights. And dramatically less time in transit.
It’s regional travel designed to give you more of your day back.
High-speed rail could someday provide another fast transportation option in the Pacific Northwest. But “someday” is an important part of that comparison. SeaPort Airlines can provide fast regional transportation using infrastructure that largely exists today, while true high-speed rail remains in the planning and development stages.
Washington State and its partners have been studying a Cascadia High-Speed Rail system that would primarily connect Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Earlier planning envisioned trains traveling at speeds of approximately 220 mph, potentially making trips between each of those major cities in less than an hour. WSDOT has also previously studied broader high-speed rail goals involving Everett and, separately, Seattle–Spokane service.
The scale of the proposed project is significant. WSDOT's high-speed rail business case estimated $24 billion to $42 billion in up-front construction costs in 2017 dollars. That figure is an early planning estimate rather than a current construction budget; more detailed engineering and updated cost estimates are still being developed.
And construction isn't ready to begin. The Cascadia High-Speed Rail project is currently going through the federal Corridor Identification and Development process. Nearly $50 million in federal funding, along with a state match, was committed to the current Service Development Plan phase. That work runs through approximately 2028 and includes evaluating route and service options, early engineering, updated cost ranges, environmental considerations, governance and a possible phased implementation plan. Project-level environmental review and preliminary engineering would follow, with the timing of those later stages still to be determined.
That means a true Portland–Seattle–Vancouver high-speed rail system would require years of additional planning, environmental review, engineering, funding, land acquisition and construction before passenger service could begin. There is currently no firm opening date for the proposed Cascadia high-speed rail system.
SeaPort takes a different approach: use aviation to improve regional mobility now. Rather than waiting for tens of billions of dollars in new rail infrastructure to be planned, approved and constructed, regional air service can use the Pacific Northwest's existing airports and aviation infrastructure to connect communities.
High-speed rail may ultimately become an important part of the Pacific Northwest transportation network, particularly along the densely traveled Portland–Seattle–Vancouver corridor. SeaPort Airlines addresses a different and much more immediate question: How can we make regional travel faster and more convenient today?
For travelers who need to get around the Pacific Northwest now—not decades from now—SeaPort offers an existing transportation solution rather than a promise of future infrastructure.
