Eastern Airways Selects Shorts 330:

Eastern Airways of Humberside, one of the United Kingdom’s independent airlines, has purchased a Shorts 330 commuterliner. The airline is the third UK carrier to select the wide-body 30-seat aircraft-330s are already in operation with Loganair of Scotland and East Midlands-based Alidair- and will be the first operator to provide a 330 service into London’s Heathrow Airport.

Since entering service in mid-1976, 330s have carried 51⁄2 million passengers and have been adopted by airlines in 13 countries. Recent sales of the 30-seat 330 and new 36-seat 360 bring the total order book for the Short wide-body commuter “Family” to 115 aircraft, worth in excess of $275 million.
