About
Eastern Airlines, previously Dynamic International Airways, is an airline that operates flights to South America from its base at New York JFK International Airport (JFK). Other than its base in New York, the airline flies to two other destinations — Guayaquil, Ecuador and Georgetown, Guyana.
Eastern Air Lines is the rebrand of the American carrier Dynamic International Airways. Under the Dynamic International Airways name, the airline offered from several destinations within the US to locations in the Caribbean, Mexico and South America using a fleet of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft. However, due to financial difficulties, in 2016, Dynamic International Airways began to remove and restructure many flights from its network. In mid-2017, the airline removed all scheduled passenger services and announced its transition into a charter airline
In 2018, the airline announced its plans to rebrand and acquire the brand name from the ceased airline Eastern Airlines (2015), which is the name and brand that it operates under as today. Eastern Airlines operated its first scheduled flight from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in June 2018, with a number of other routes following. Shortly after, it decided to rearrange and shorten its route network, primarily focussing on flights from the US to South America.

Dynamic International Airways will rebrand as Eastern Airlines
Dynamic Airways is seeking to rebrand as Eastern Airlines in an attempt to develop the business. It is reported that under its court-approved reorganization plan, it will continue to operate ACMI-type charter flights in a bid to rebuild its financial resources. It said that during its time in bankruptcy protection, it had seen "substantial unmet public/market need for carriers with wide-body convertible aircraft". As such, it requires DOT approval to increase its beyond the current limit of five "large aircraft" to ten. "Dynamic has the infrastructure to operate 10 aircraft and has a strong FAA compliance record," it said. "The current five aircraft restriction significantly limits financial growth and leads to costly inefficiencies in its maintenance department."
The carrier has made pubic that it already has customer commitments for the use of up to 10 aircraft of which eight will be used for passenger flights and two for cargo. The longterm objective, Dynamic said, is to introduce longhaul, low-fare scheduled service from China and other markets. As it stands, the airline said it would be submitting a request to register the trade name (d/b/a) of Eastern Air Lines. It is recalled that Eastern Air Lines was absorbed into Arizona-based passenger charter specialist Swift Air.
However, access to the Eastern Air Lines branding rights will come by virtue of owner Kenneth Woolley who, in addition to owning 100% of Solitude Strategies, LLC, Dynamic's single shareholder, also controls a 38.75% stake in Swift Air. Overall, Woolley has provided over USD8 million in DIP financing and more than USD50 million in aircraft and cash following the company’s emergence from Chapter 11. He is reportedly prepared to invest up to an additional USD15 million to cover any operating expenses if needed as the new aircraft are integrated into the fleet.
