Mid-South Service
The entirety of SeaPort's Mid-South service based at Memphis International Airport and Kansas City International Airport is federally subsidized under the Essential Air Service.
On March 12, 2010, SeaPort won a two year Essential Air Service contract to provide three daily flights Sunday through Friday between Salina, Kansas and Kansas City International Airport. As part of this growth SeaPort secured Department of Transportation approval to add daily flights between Kansas City International Airport and Harrison, Arkansas. In July 2011, SeaPort began service to Dallas Love Field from El Dorado and Hot Springs.
In February 2013, SeaPort Airlines announced that its contract to provide Essential Air Service (“EAS”) at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport has been extended by the US Department of Transportation through January 31, 2014. The carrier had been awarded a one-year, rather than the typical two-year contract, due to the low number of passengers that used the flights operated by the previous carrier providing EAS, which had put Jackson’s continued eligibility for subsidized air service at risk.
