Eastern Airlines Plans Kansas City, Missouri, Headquarters

Source: https://www.intelligence360.io/ and https://intelligence360.news/ Eastern Airlines, a domestic and international cargo airline, announced that it plans to make Kansas City the home of its new headquarters. The airline promises the move will bring along an investment of $4.7 million and the creation of 165 new jobs in Kansas City. The move of Eastern’s headquarters will consolidate all of its operations at 11500 N Ambassador Drive in Platte County near the Kansas City International Airport. “Eastern Air Holdings has had a great experience operating two other businesses at MCI, Alta Aero Technic and Foxtrot,” Eastern Airlines Chief Financial Officer Stephen Buscher said. “Kansas City and its airport have a great legacy in our industry. We did look at a number of cities to rebase our headquarters, but the enthusiasm of Missouri and the city combined with the generous assistance of the Missouri Works program made our decision easy." Eastern Airlines has a rich history dating back to 1926 and has been a symbol of excellence in air travel for decades. As the airline industry continues to evolve, Eastern is taking proactive steps to position itself for the future while honoring its legacy. In mid-January 2024, Eastern announced its acquisition of Hillwood Airways and its fleet of passenger and cargo Boeing 737s, adding to its fleet of B767 and B777 aircraft. While Eastern Airlines is a certified 121 airline authorized to offer scheduled service (domestic and international), the company is focused on business-to-business charter operations, with a particular focus on U.S. government work, notably repositioning of troops for the Department of Defense domestically and internationally as a member of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), as well as other government agencies. At any given time, Eastern has 10-15 aircraft parked at its hangar facilities at MCI and is actively working to expand its fleet, with aspirations to grow its footprint over time in Kansas City.
