Eastern Provincial Airways, also known as EPA, was the backbone of air travel in Eastern Canada in the 1970s. At its peak, the carrier operated jet service connecting many communities that today only have service from 18-seat turboprops. The airline traces its history from Maritime Central Airways (MCA) from 1961. They merged with CP Air to form Canadian Pacific Airlines in 1986.
