About Eastern Airlines
Eastern Airlines was originally founded in 1926 and quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the “Big Four” domestic airlines in the United States by 1930. The airline maintained this status until ceasing operations in 1991. In 2010, Dynamic International Airways was established, operating Boeing 767 aircraft. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in our history.
In 2014, Eastern Airlines was resurrected with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, though this venture was short-lived, and the assets were transferred to Swift Air in 2017. Dynamic International Airways acquired the Eastern Airlines name in 2018, rebranding itself and continuing the legacy. In 2022, Eastern Airlines was certified as an ETOPS carrier and added Boeing 777-200 aircraft to its fleet.
Most recently, in 2023, Eastern Air Holdings acquired Hillwood Airways, rebranding it as Eastern Air Express and relocating our headquarters to the historic TWA Administrative Building in Kansas City.
Eastern Airlines set the benchmark in passenger and cargo services with wide and narrow-body Boeing aircraft, delivering exceptional & reliable flights domestically and internationally.
From the flight crew to maintenance personnel to dispatch and office staff, its our people who truly make Eastern Airlines the leaders in domestic and global flight services.
Our diverse team gives 24/7 performance to ensure your flights are handled with the responsiveness, safety and priority they deserve
