Sea Port Airlines
SeaPort Airlines is an US-based regional airline with its headquarters on the grounds of Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon. It operates scheduled service from its bases at Portland International Airport (PDX), Memphis International Airport (MEM), and San Diego International Airport (SAN). Its services are divided into three distinct geographic regions (Pacific Northwest, Mid-South, Southwest) and there are no connections between its two hubs.
From a base in Juneau, Alaska SeaPort Airlines operates throughout Southeast Alaska using the brand Wings of Alaska. This was the name of the commuter airline purchased by SeaPort Airlines, Inc. to begin its flights between Seattle and Portland. The Alaska and Lower 48 operations share the same FAA operating certificate and management team.
SeaPort Airlines uses the callsign "Sasquatch" to communicate with air traffic controllers. The carrier played off this in early 2013 when it introduced "Roger, The SeaPort Airlines Sasquatch" as the airline's mascot.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or port:
“SWEENEY:
Nothing to eat but the fruit as it grows.
Nothing to see but the palmtrees one way
And the sea the other way,
Nothing to hear but the sound of the surf.
Nothing at all but three things
DORIS: What things?
SWEENEY: Birth, and copulation, and death.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
