Miami, Florida 19th December 2014: It was a good time had by all who attended the official kickoff ceremony of the new Eastern Airlines, which was held at the Miami International Airport Landmark Aviation Fixed Based Operator (FBO).
The FBO parking lot was full and cars where parked on the grass all around the FBO, as the Florida December weather was prefect for a great day in the ongoing history of commercial aviation history here in Miami, Florida. There is allot to expect from the new Eastern Airlines and like all new upstart airline, they have a long path ahead of them, but if the variables line up and their employees do not the critical mistake to think that they are back at the Eastern Airlines they once worked for and was shut down, they have a fighting chance. God Speed to the new Eastern Airlines.
