Seaborne&#8217; s headquarter offices are located in the World Plaza, one of the tallest and most emblematic commercial buildings in the business zone. The government of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> made a strategic investment in Seaborne, closing in early 2014. Since that time, Seaborne and <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> have worked together to allow Seaborne to &#8216;spread its wings&#8217; to 17 airports throughout the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>. Seaborne operates as a codeshare partner to American Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Air Europa with interline connecting agreements with Delta Airlines, United Airlines and many other carriers. <\/p>\n<div style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\" id=\"prni_dvprnejpg41acleftMSAsset615208\" assettitle=\"SeaborneEng\" hostedurl=\"https:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20160207\/330461\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg41acleftMSAsset615208\" title=\"Seaborne Airlines in The Golden Mile Business District\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Seaborne Airlines in The Golden Mile Business District\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20160207\/330461\" imagelabel=\"General\"\/><\/div>\n<p>Constructed in 1972, the architectural design of the World Plaza remains one of the most striking views in the skyline of The Golden Mile. It also holds an important place in the business history of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, having shared another legendary name, Banco de Ponce, exactly where Seaborne will proudly display its brand. <\/p>\n<p>Very soon, Seaborne&#8217;s brand will rise up in the busy Golden Mile District. Seaborne Airlines, the largest regional operator at the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean&#8217;s<\/span> largest connecting hub at <span class=\"xn-location\">San Juan&#8217;s<\/span> Luis Munoz Marin International Airport has exemplified itself with high standards of customer service, operating all flights from <span class=\"xn-location\">San Juan<\/span> with two pilots and a flight attendant on the comfortable 34-seat Saab 340 aircraft. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We saw the potential of the deal with Seaborne for <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, and Seaborne saw the big opportunities that <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> has to offer as a business destination. It is another example of how we are reenergizing our anchor industries while fostering a services, exportation and knowledge oriented economy&#8221; said Alberto Bac\u00f3 Bagu\u00e9, Secretary of Economic Development for <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>. &#8220;Now everyone will be able to see that Seaborne&#8217;s headquarters are here in <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, that they believe in us and that they are part of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico&#8217;s<\/span> economic transformation&#8221;, said Bac\u00f3. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are pleased of our joint efforts with Seaborne Airlines to make possible their operations in <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, choosing the World Plaza as its headquarters. The property, owned by PRIFA, provides the airline a strategic location in <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico&#8217;s<\/span> Golden Mile to run its business as one of the largest airlines of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>. It also secures the airline&#8217;s growth as part of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico&#8217;s<\/span> aerospace ecosystem&#8221;, said <span class=\"xn-person\">Grace Santana<\/span>, executive director of PRIFA.<\/p>\n<p>Seaborne, a Part 121 US Flag Carrier, is the only commercial airline operating with the Puerto Rican flag on its fuselage. &#8220;No one flies the flag higher,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Gary D. Foss<\/span>, CEO and President of Seaborne. &#8220;This is just another step forward as we continue to build upon the success Seaborne is experiencing in <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> and throughout the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>&#8220;, added Foss. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would like to extend a special thanks to Governor <span class=\"xn-person\">Alejandro Garcia Padilla<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Grace M. Santana<\/span>, Chief of Staff to the Governor as well as PRIFA Executive Director and <span class=\"xn-person\">Cesar R. Perez<\/span>, PRIFA Deputy Director, for their support to Seaborne Airlines in this project. We would be remiss to not thank <span class=\"xn-person\">Ingrid R. Rivera Rocafort<\/span>, Executive Director of The Tourism Company of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> and Mr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Joey Cancel Planas<\/span>, President of the Economic Development Bank of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> and their staffs. Without their support and the support of the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, Seaborne would not be where it is today&#8221;, said Foss. <\/p>\n<p><b>About Seaborne Airlines <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Seaborne Airlines has been operating in the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> for over 23 years, carrying approximately 3 million customers safely.
