The North American airline Eastern Air Lines plans to fly between New York and Guayaquil with an tentative start date from 15 October 2019. Orlando Suarez's photo.
Recently restructured and with new owners, one of the most traditional brands in the airline industry of the USA is taking to the skies of the world again and has set a new international goal, the José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport it would be his second destination abroad in this third version of the airline.
The plans of this airline began to be heard a few months ago, when Eastern Airlines authorities arrived in Ecuador visiting the Quito and Guayaquil Airports, but now, with papers entered before the United States authority and approved, the plan is concrete.
The airline's order in the United States was made public on 15 February 2019, but I preferred to wait a prudential time until this country authorizes the route, fact that was recently given 29 last May.
Before the authority of the United States, the dot – Department of Transportation, the airline requested and was approved to be authorized this new route from New York, from where Eastern requests to operate to 7 weekly flights from Monday to Sunday with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
In the order that it is specified that they will be regular flights, the airline specifies the following tentative hours of operation:
- New York – Guayaquil: the DYA-321 flight will take off at 11:30 am and will land at 17:48.
- Guayaquil – New York: the DYA-320 flight will take off at 03:00 and will land at 09:00.
in the same order, indicated that the airline estimated to start flights from the 1 from May onwards, but after the granting and assignment of these frequencies, the airline has indicated that it estimates to start flights between Tuesday 15 October and Friday 25 October, subject to Ecuadorian government approval, where the legal process before the authorities has not yet begun.
These flights will be operated on Boeing aircraft 767 with capacity for 263 passengers with three fare levels: Basic Economic, Economy and Economy Premium.
About Eastern Air Lines
What will be the third resurgence of this traditional North American airline under a new administration under the concept of low cost airline, seeks to reposition itself in the market.
Eastern's comeback comes after the airline Swift Air bought Dynamic Airways, airline we can remember flew on this route to Guayaquil at 2017 for a few weeks and which closed after financial problems and after joining the Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Before Swift bought Dynamic, the former acquired 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 airline operates charter flights from the United States to the Caribbean and has a regular international route to Georgetown, Guyana y está conformada por una flota de 9 boeing aircraft 767, of which six are of the model -200 and three of the model -300 with an average age of 29 years.
We will continue updating the news about this new operator in Guayaquil, which would be the sixth new operator so far this 2019.

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.
