History

American Eagle was conceived in the mid-1980s as a collection of regional carriers with contracts to carry the American Eagle brand name and started operations on November 1, 1984. American Eagle's first flight was taken by Metroflight Airlines on November 1, 1984 from Fayetteville, Arkansas to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. The first of its operations was for Command Airways (or Command Airlines) and was based at Dutchess County Airport in Wappinger, New York. The operation there included a maintenance facility.

In the late 1980s, these carriers were marketed as one company called American Eagle. Metro Airlines was purchased by AMR on December 22, 1992.

Incidents and accidents

• May 8, 1987: American Eagle Flight 5452 operated by regional airline Executive Airlines, a CASA 212-200 was on a domestically scheduled passenger flight between San Juan, Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, Puerto Rico crashed short of Runway 09 while landing at Mayaguez. After impacting, the plane continued through a chain link fence and a ditch. Of the 6 occupants onboard (4 passengers and 2 crew on board) 2 were killed. The cause of the crash was determined to be the improper maintenance in setting the flight idle propeller and engine fuel flow.
  [1]
  
• February 19, 1988: American Eagle Flight 3378 operated by Avair, a Fairchild SA227 was on a regularly scheduled flight between Raleigh-Richmond when it crashed into a reservoir about a mile from Raleigh-Durham International Airport from where it had departed in the vicinity of Cary, North Carolina: The aircraft departed during low ceiling, low visibility, and night conditions. Analysis of radar data indicated the aircraft was in a 45 degree descending turn. Both crew members and all 10 passengers were killed. It was revealed during the investigation that the pilot had complained of illness but decided to continue the flight. [2].
• June 7, 1992: American Eagle operated by regional airline Executive Airlines a CASA 212-200 was on a regular flight between San Juan, Puerto Rico and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico when it lost control and crashed nose-down about 3/4 mile from the Mayaguez, Puerto Rico airport. Both crew and all three passengers were killed. The cause of the crash was the copilot's inadvertent activation of the levers, causing the plane to lose control.[3]
• October 31, 1994: American Eagle Flight 4184 operated by regional airlines Simmons Airlines an ATR 72; Near Roselawn, Indiana: The aircraft inverted, dived, and crashed from holding pattern at 10,000 feet (3050 m) due to icing. The four crew and 64 passengers were all killed. [4].
  • Following the crash near Roselawn, longstanding problems with the ATR aircraft operating in some icing conditions were revealed by a Stephen Fredrick (a whistleblower later fired by the airline) in the book "Unheeded Warning - The Inside Story of American Eagle Flight 4184". The book was published in July, 1996 by McGraw-Hill. American Eagle has since phased out service using ATR aircraft in cold-weather areas, replacing the aircraft with regional jets. However, ATR-72 aircraft are still used for Caribbean operations from Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where ice is not an issue.
• December 13, 1994: American Eagle Flight 3379, a Jetstream 31 was on a reguarly scheduled service of Raleigh-Greensboro-Raleigh when it crashed into a wooded area about 4 miles SW of the Raleigh-Durham International Airport in the vicinity of Morrisville, NC. Of the 20 onboard (18 passengers and 2 crewmembers) 15 were killed while the 5 survivors received serious injuries. The probable cause of the crash was the pilot not following proper procedure when it came to an engine failure situation. [5].
• May 9, 2004; an American Eagle ATR-72, flight 5401, crash-landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico after the captain lost control of the aircraft while landing. Seventeen people were injured, but there were no fatalities [6].
