Seaborne Airlines has announced a temporary halt to its seaplane flight operations between St. Croix and St. Thomas, effective May 31 through June 6. The interruption is due to a mandatory corrosion inspection of the airline’s DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft, a procedure described by the airline as crucial for upholding its safety and regulatory standards, according to the release.

“This inspection is a critical part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance,” the company stated.

The pause affects passengers who had planned to travel during the first week of June. Seaborne has advised customers with bookings between May 31 and June 6 to reach out to its customer service team for support with rebooking options or refund requests. Full service is scheduled to resume on June 7.

The airline offered its sincere apologies to passengers whose plans may be disrupted by the inspection schedule and extended gratitude for the continued patience and understanding from the communities it serves in both St. Croix and St. Thomas.

Travelers seeking additional information or assistance are encouraged to visit the airline’s website at www.seaborneairlines.com or contact customer service directly by phone at (801) 401-9100, option 1.
