As Other Airlines Close, Eastern Air Lines May Make a Comeback - Sort of
Apr 14th, 2008 | By Jared BlankA South Florida entrepreneur is trying to launch an airline under the Eastern Air Lines name, but is facing a court fight from another guy who is also trying to do the same (who knew that the long-shuttered carrier’s name was so in demand). The interesting thing about Eastern is that it really doesn’t seem to hold the good-ol-days cache of TWA, Pan Am or Braniff. I think most people think of it as being in disarray or being stuck on an A300 crammed with screaming kids flying to Florida.
