About Eastern Airways
Eastern Airways – Connecting Scotland with Regional and National Destinations
Eastern Airways has established itself as a vital part of the UK’s regional aviation landscape, offering essential air links for Scotland and beyond. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Humberside, England, the airline has steadily expanded its presence across the country, including strategic routes in and out of Scotland.
Operating both scheduled passenger and charter flights, Eastern Airways is well-known for servicing regional hubs often overlooked by larger carriers. It plays a key role in connecting Scotland’s airports—including Aberdeen, Wick John O’Groats, and Glasgow—with English destinations such as Newcastle, Humberside, and Teesside. These routes are essential for business travelers, government officials, and residents needing quick and efficient links to other parts of the UK.
Eastern Airways operates a fleet of small regional jets and turboprops, including Embraer ERJ-145s and BAe Jetstream 41 aircraft. These aircraft are well-suited for short-haul regional routes, offering quick boarding, comfortable seating, and high frequency. The airline focuses on punctuality, reliability, and personalized service—qualities that are crucial for regional air travel.
What sets Eastern Airways apart is its commitment to underserved regions. It often operates Public Service Obligation (PSO) routes, including the vital Wick – Aberdeen service, which helps maintain economic ties and social connectivity for remote communities in the north of Scotland.
Beyond its regular services, Eastern Airways also provides charter solutions for corporate clients, sports teams, and oil and gas workers, demonstrating flexibility and experience in niche markets.
With decades of experience, Eastern Airways remains a trusted name in regional aviation. Whether you're traveling for business, returning home, or heading to a lesser-known UK destination, the airline offers a dependable and efficient travel experience.
For Scottish travelers looking for convenience without compromising on service, Eastern Airways is a practical and professional choice that helps keep the UK connected—one regional airport at a time.
