EAS contract extended

The “Twice as Nice Airline”, SeaPort Airlines, today announced their reselection by the US DOT to continue providing Essential Air Service to the communities of Harrison, Hot Springs, and El Dorado. The airline will receive the government contract to continue service for two more years, which was awarded Thursday after SeaPort was recommended by each community twice in two rounds of bidding for the contract. Funny enough, SeaPort also recently celebrated their second anniversary of serving the Mid-South region. Both events will be marked by the launch of the “Terrific Twos” fare sale.

“We’re very thankful for the support we’ve received from Harrison, Hot Springs, El Dorado, and the surrounding communities,” said Rob McKinney, President--SeaPort Airlines. “We couldn’t have done it without their partnership and the loyalty of our passengers, and we’d like to show our gratitude with our ‘Terrific Twos’ fare sale.”

The “Terrific Twos” sale will take place from November 22nd-December 31st, 2011 for travel from January 1st-January 22nd, 2012. For $22* with at least 22-day advance purchase, passengers can fly point-to-point from Harrison, Hot Springs and El Dorado to the available nonstop destinations. Fares are limited and based on availability, so grab them with double the speed before they’re gone.

SeaPort also invites the communities to check out their Facebook and Google + pages for a chance to win round trip tickets via their Daily Doubles contest this week.
