När gick pan am airlines i konkurs?
1991
Pan American World Airways, ursprungligen grundat som Pan American Airways och allmänt känt som Pan Am, var det främsta och största internationella flygbolaget i USA från 1927 till dess att det gick omkull den 4 december 1991. Grundades 1927 som en reguljär flygpost- och passagerartrafik mellan Key West i Florida och Havanna på Kuba. Flygbolaget är krediterat för många innovationer som formade den internationella flygbranschen, bland annat den utbredda användningen av jetflygplan, jumbojetflygplan och datoriserade bokningssystem. Det var också en av grundarna av International Air Transport Association (IATA), den globala flygbranschens sammanslutning. Flygbolaget, som identifierades genom sin blå globlogotyp ("The Blue Meatball"), användningen av ordet "Clipper" i sina flygplansnamn och anropssignaler och piloternas vita uniformsmössor, var en kulturell ikon under 1900-talet. I en tid som dominerades av flaggbolag som var helt eller till största delen statligt ägda, var det också USA:s inofficiella flaggbolag utomlands. Under större delen av jet-eran var Pan Am:s flaggskeppsterminal Worldport på John F. Kennedy International Airport i New York City.
1991
Pan American World Airways, originally founded as Pan American Airways and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba. The airline is credited for many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association. Identified by its blue globe logo ("The Blue Meatball"), the use of the word "Clipper" in its aircraft names and call signs, and the white uniform caps of its pilots, the airline was a cultural icon of the 20th century. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority government-owned, it was also the unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States. During most of the jet era, Pan Am's flagship terminal was the Worldport located at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
