The airline operates scheduled domestic, international services and private charter services. Around 800,000 passengers a year are carried on the scheduled route network. The airline specialises in providing regional flights in the United Kingdom, as they sought the gap in the market where larger carriers have moved away from providing flights to this market.

In 2017, the airline entered a franchise with Flybe, which meant that it will be flying Flybe's routes and carry its flight number. However, since Flybe went into administration in 2020, Eastern Airways has decided to resume independent operations again.
