Eastern Airways

Privately-owned by Richard Lake, Eastern Airways, based at Humberside Airport, continues to fly a limited scheduled programme with contract and ad-hoc charters, a large part of the company’s business for many years.

The mid-afternoon daily return service between Humberside and Aberdeen airports continues supporting essential energy sector workers.  Also being flown to provide personnel transportation for contracted customers is Aberdeen to Scatsta and Sumburgh.  Due to airport operations availability Newcastle movements are not possible now.

The airline says that in the coming weeks a number of charter services for various customers, including flights to and from Aberdeen, Humberside, Aalesund, Bergen, Kristiansand, Rotterdam, and further afield, including Romania, have been or are being operated.

Eastern confirms an increasing number of enquiries as companies seek ways of securely and safely moving groups of personnel.  It is an area the airline has specialised in for many years.  The carrier has circa 420 staff and fleet of 12  Jetstream 41, 4 Saab 2000, 2 Embraer 135, 3  Embraer 145, 2 ATR72-600 and a single Embraer 170, with delivery of another of the smallest of the e-series delayed.

The airline has delayed the start of scheduled services between Teesside – London City and Southampton – Dublin among other routes.
