East-West
Airlines ‘59

East-West Airlines
East-West Airlines was founded in Tamworth,
New South Wales in 1947. It operated to major regional city-centres and
connected these centres to various state capitals, and by the 1980s it was
Australia's third largest domestic airline.
East-West operated DC-3s between ’53
and ’73, operating Avro Ansons before that and Fokker F-27s and F-28s
afterwards before finally operating Boeing jets. Ultimately the airline was
absorbed into Ansett in ’93.
The flights below were all operated by
DC-3s and come from the November ‘59 timetable from www.timetableimages.com .
