| Narrative: | Eastern Provincial Airlines was established in 1949 in St John's, Newfoundland. Until it was absorbed into Canadian Pacific airways in the mid 1980s, EPA chartered many different types of flights, from passenger flights, to fire and forestry flights into remote areas. The company was renamed Eastern Provincial Airlines in 1961. Although EPA had plans to transform their fleet into all jets, those plans didn't materialize and EPA continued to charter flights within the Atlantic provinces and to the United States and the Caribbean. |
| History of Use: | Worn by flight attendants on Eastern Provincial Airlines flights. |
