Salem Loses Air Service

You may remember that back in April, I blogged that Salem was losing its distinction of being one of a handful of state capitals without commercial airline service. But to the dismay of Salem city leaders, SeaPort Airlines threw in the towel on its flights to Portland and Newport in less time than it takes to pass most legislation here at the capitol. So Salem once again has something in common with its neighboring states of Washington and Nevada: you can't book a flight to its capital city.
