A better plot hole is why didn't the Eagles in the Hobbit just fly them straight to the mountain?
1: The human settlements between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood would try to shoot them down, since they believe the Eagles are responsible for stealing their livestock.
2: Erebor is nearly 300 miles away from their eyries. They have better things to do than fly that far for a group of dwarves, like watching for goblin or warg attacks on human settlements.
