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 will finally fulfill its founders' original vision–bringing Seattle, Portland and Spokane closer together, and actually getting you home for dinner. It's about time.
