TUPELO, Miss. -- The U.S. Department of Transportation has selected SeaPort Airlines to provide air service for Tupelo.
SeaPort begins its two-year contract once it determines when to launch its service in Tupelo. Officials hope it can begin next month, but details still are being worked out between SeaPort, outgoing provider Silver Airways, Tupelo Regional Airport and the Transportation Department.
Meanwhile, Greenville hopes to get service through SeaPort. It will be losing Silver service on Oct. 1.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1q7FtaA ) the Transportation Department selected SeaPort, awarding the Portland, Oregon-based carrier a two-year contract paying $2.5 million annually.
