Well Hot Springs is back in the commercial airline business. In June 2008, Mesa Airlines stopped flying out of Hot Springs. Since we are an EAS airport, the government went out for bids to replace Mesa. The first round gave us an airline called Mesaba, soon after winning the bid they quickly declined due to the country’s economic problems. Therefore, the government went back out for bids. This time Seaport Airlines won the bid, after a long delay they started commercial service October 26, 2009. They operate a nine passenger PC-12 Pilatus, the good thing about a 9 passenger aircraft is NO TSA. They fly to Memphis and back three times a day. We are looking forward to Seaport’s operation and hope them the best.
