Eastern Air Lines seeks DoT approval for US-China routes
North Carolina-based Eastern Air Lines is seeking permission from the US DoT to operate roundtrip services from New York to Jinan, China, with a technical stop in Anchorage, Alaska. The twice-weekly flights from New York JFK would stop off at Ted Stevens Anchorage International before continuing on to Jinan Yaoqiang International in Jinan, the capital city of China’s eastern Shandong province. The company separately filed with the DoT for a reactivation of its interstate air transport certificate, so it can sell tickets for the domestic leg of the route from New York to Anchorage. The carrier would operate the service with a 209-seat Boeing 767-300ER, and said in its filing that it expects service to begin in July 2019, pending DoT approval. <br/>
