Issue 01/1963
Dear valued customers,
Highlights of the month
As a new year begins, we are glad to announce that we have finally taken delivery of our first jet aircraft, the Boeing 707-320B. The first two of such aircraft touched down successively to a water cannon salute.
These aircraft boast a much faster cruising speed than our existing piston aircraft (545 knots compared to 353 knots for the DC-7C). In addition, they are also able to carry about 80% more passengers than our current aircraft.
More of such aircraft will enter service with our fleet later in the year. They will be used on medium to long-haul routes, as well as high-demand regional routes. Airports currently served by the 707 include Tokyo-Haneda, Sydney, Guangzhou, and Shanghai-Hongqiao, from our main base, Singapore. Upcoming destinations will include Dubai, Melbourne, and Beijing. They will also operate on routes from our bases in Hong Kong and Dubai.
Other than the 707, we operate the DC-7C on most of our medium-haul routes, and the DC-6B on short regional flights. We also operate two SE-210 Caravelle VI-R aircraft, leased to us by fellow alliance member Asiana Airlines, on lower-demand regional routes.
Our fleet (January 1963)
Boeing 707-320B: 2
Douglas DC-6B: 52
Douglas DC-7C: 52
Thank you for choosing East Central Airways. We hope to see you on board on future flights.
