Seaborne Airlines is a regional carrier based in the United States Virgin Islands, specializing in short-haul flights throughout the Caribbean. The airline operates scheduled and charter services connecting destinations across Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and neighboring islands. Founded in 1991, Seaborne built its reputation on serving communities with limited air access, including unique seaplane and land-based operations. The airline has historically used both floatplane and turboprop aircraft to serve its island routes. Seaborne Airlines plays an important role in regional connectivity for travelers and residents of the Caribbean, particularly in the wake of natural disasters such as Hurricane Maria in 2017, when it helped restore air links to affected communities.
