About Eastern Air Lines
What to beá the third revival of this traditional aerolíNorth American line under new administrationón under the concept of aerolínea low cost, seeks to reposition itself in the market.
Eastern's return comes since the aerolínea Swift Air buyó Dynamic Airways, aerolínea that we can remember that voló on this route to Guayaquil at 2017 for a few weeks and it closedó after financial problems and after entering the Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Before Swift bought Dynamic, the first one acquiredó the patent and trademark use of Eastern Air Lines, the same one that was transferred for the use of Dynamic Airways to start operations again and to be able to recover its image that was affected by the bankruptcy.
Currently, this aerosolínea operates flights chárter from the United States to the Caribbean and has a regular international route to Georgetown, Guyana is thereá made up of a fleet of 9 boeing aircraft 767, of which six are of the model -200 and three of the model -300 with an average age of 29 años.
We will continue updating the news about this new operator in Guayaquil, what to beíthe sixth new operator so far this year 2019.
I read today in Diario El Universo that this airline begins operations on the day 5 from December. The information is correct
Today I publish information about it.
Buenas tardes:
What's new in this case? ?
Nothing new, They have not yet started procedures in Ecuador.
Buenas tardes
Between Latam, Jetblue and Eastern would add up 21 weekly flights to NY?
He doesn't think it would be an oversupply?
It is the largest market between the United States and Ecuador, It seems to me that there is a good opportunity to stimulate the entire market that fell on 2018, but without any doubt, we can see two strong competitors and one that will have more problems to capture the market.
