Under the Dynamic name, the airline was headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, offering service from New York to South America.
It used to operate from Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York to the Caribbean, Cancún, and South America.
[citation needed] Not long after the purchase of the second MD-88, Dynamic announced a three-year partnership flying for Hoda Air Services in South Korea.
[6] In March 2012, Direct Air temporarily suspended its operations and canceled all charter flights, subsequently filing for bankruptcy.
[7] In 2015, Dynamic also added services from Fort Lauderdale, flying to both Caracas and Rio de Janeiro[citation needed].
[8] Dynamic exited bankruptcy, and with the rights held by Swift Air, renamed itself as Eastern Airlines in April 2018.
[9][8] At the end of the month, Eastern joined the British Civil Aviation Authority in the largest-ever peacetime repatriation of British citizens after the collapse of Thomas Cook Airlines, operating flights to bring stranded overseas holidaymakers back to the UK.
[15] It was officially purchased on August 15, 2023, but Hillwood continued to operate under its existing brand[16] until it was renamed as Eastern Air Express on November 13, 2023.
Since February 2024, Eastern Airlines does not operate scheduled flights after canceling its once-monthly Miami to Santo Domingo route.
