1936 - Eastern Timetable Inserts

Airbus A-300 "WhisperLiner"

Eastern was the first U.S. operator of any Airbus product. In 1977 to gain a toehold in the U.S. market, fledgling Airbus offered Eastern essentially a 6 months free lease of 4 A-300s with no obligation. The gamble paid off and Eastern went on to order many more. Continental, American, and Pan Am followed suite with A-300s and A-310s and the rest if history.

Boeing 727-100 "WhisperJet"

Eastern was the launch customer for the Boeing 727. The airliner was originally designed to be able to take-off and land from the very short runway at New York's Laguardia fully laden with pax, cargo, and fuel.
