Eastern Provincial Airways (EPA) was an airline that operated in Atlantic and eastern Canada. At its peak in the 1970s, the carrier operated jet service with Boeing 737-200 aircraft connecting many communities that, in the first quarter of the 21st century, only have scheduled passenger flights provided by 18-seat commuter turboprop aircraft. The airline traces its history from Maritime Central Airways (MCA) from 1961. It merged with CP Air to form Canadian Pacific Air Lines in 1986.
