In 2016, Penair announced service between Portland (PDX) and North Bend (OTH) beginning March 21, 2016. Seaport subsequently ceased operations on March 20, 2016. The airport was previously served by Horizon Air, which had linked North Bend to Portland International Airport since 1982. Horizon Air service ended October 11, 2008.
