Eastern Air Lines

Eastern Air Lines was a major American airline that operated mainly from the 1920s until it ceased operations in 1991. It was known for flying both domestic and international routes, especially connecting the U.S. with Latin America and the Caribbean. The airline played a significant role in the development of commercial air travel in the mid-20th century. Despite its growth and popularity, Eastern faced financial struggles and labor disputes, leading to its bankruptcy and eventual shutdown. Today, its legacy remains as a key player in aviation history, with some of its assets and branding influencing other carriers.
