  • The return of a legend

    The aviation intrawebs has been active these last few days as plans have been confirmed that Eastern Airlines is coming back! That's right Eastern Airlines is making a comeback. Don't get confused though this isn't the airline that had glamorous jets and just as glamorous service in it's hay day, this is a revival with baby steps. As the website states they have begun to speak to leasing companies about leasing a small fleet of Airbus A319's and A320's to start off. Maybe they will grow? Maybe they will flop? only time will tell. All I know is that if Eastern is revived I may consider taking a trip on their jets for the fact I can say I flew Eastern (mind you Eastern hasn't been around for over 20 years and I'm 27). I wish them any luck they need and hope they can literally "take off"

    That is interesting, it's a good ideal to get a brand that people would recognize. Even if they flop, I hope they have a cool livery for a model to come out!

      Their Airbus starter fleet looks like it will have the same livery they used to have. But your right fleet I hope they do have some models come out. Rumor has it they should start operations after summer of this year in Florida. Not sure if it's Miami or what.

          I saw the website & the "new" livery is the old. BTW you got first dibs on this story beating out another guy at another forum who brought it up many days after you did, good job!

            I like this livery much better than the cheat line they are known for.
