SeaPort Airlines’ expansion to Spokane makes Seattle’s Boeing Field the new hub for regional air travel

In Boeing Field, regional travelers have a new and improved option for air travel. On March 9, SeaPort Airlines is expanding with the launch of its Boeing Field-Felts Field shuttle–eight daily flights between Seattle and Spokane that offer travelers time, convenience and peace while expanding their travel options. SeaPort Airlines’ Boeing Field air shuttle is making Pacific Northwest travel predictable, easy and fast again as Seattle-Tacoma International Airport frustrates travelers with growing traffic congestion, unpredictable security lines and chronic “flow control” limitations.

SeaPort Airlines CEO Kent Craford commented: “The Sea-Tac mega airport has outgrown short-hop travel in the Pacific Northwest. The solution is 100 years old, and it’s under our noses. It’s Boeing Field. As Alaska Airlines becomes a competitive global airline, SeaPort Airlines is ready to become the Pacific Northwest’s regional airline. Boeing Field-based flights bring fun and ease back to air travel with a simple and vastly superior way of getting you to Portland or Spokane that saves hours per trip. We’re bringing back fast, hassle-free travel,” Craford said. “Our customers enjoy free parking and short, easy trips to downtown Seattle and Spokane. They also get to skip the unpredictable, endless TSA lines and frantic security screening. Just check in 20 minutes before your flight. You can predictably get from downtown to downtown in two hours or less. It beats Zoom by about 279 miles."

SeaPort Airlines’ new Spokane routes build on SeaPort Airlines’ existing schedule of up to 16 shuttle flights per day between Boeing Field and Portland International Airport. SeaPort will offer two morning and two evening roundtrip flights per day between Boeing Field in Seattle (BFI) and Felts Field in Spokane (SFF). Flying in and out of these small, centrally located airports with free parking steps from the plane brings the region’s largest cities closer together at a time when business is increasingly won in person, Craford said.

Marshal Burgess, Region President of iHeartMedia, said SeaPort Airlines has become an indispensable partner in how he operates across the Pacific Northwest: “Their reliable, comfortable service between Portland and Seattle allows me to move seamlessly between our markets, stay closely connected with our teams, and remain fully present for our clients. The ability to commute with such ease isn’t just a convenience—it’s a strategic advantage. I’m proud to support SeaPort Airlines and the role they play in strengthening regional business and community ties.”

Craford continued: " Boeing Field and Felts Field are both built for convenience and are even charming with their 1930s era Art Deco terminals, yet offer on-site car rental, rideshare and other services. It's also a privilege to operate out of Boeing Field, the place where modern commercial airliners were born. The Pacific Northwest has such a rich aviation history,” Craford said. “This is a unique place to be running an aviation business. That legacy means a lot to us. It’s also practical—it’s actually in Seattle! Paine Field in Everett is too remote. That wasn’t the answer. The solution to the Sea-Tac snarl has been under our noses all along. The big airlines have an unspoken pact to avoid Boeing Field, going back to the 1990s when Southwest Airlines considered it. But we’re not a party to that deal, and neither are you. It’s time to stop reserving this amazing transportation asset for just the private jet-set and start making it available for everyone. That’s what SeaPort’s Boeing Field air shuttle is doing—making Boeing Field the peoples’ airport once again.”

Ticket prices for the new flights between Seattle and Spokane will be similar to the cost of tickets purchased from Alaska Airlines three days in advance of flight, starting at $299 one way. SeaPort Airlines is offering a 32% discount on fares through April using promo code SFF32 in honor of the 1932 Felts Field terminal building.
