Pan Am Airlines halts flights loses lengthy bankruptcy battle
NEW YORK - Pan American World Airways, the pioneer that ushered in the era of commercial aviation, ceased operations yesterday after losing its battle to erase years of losses.
"Today, we see the end of an airline whose name will be forever forged in American history," Russell L. Ray president and chief executive said.
As Ray issued his statement, Pan
Am's planes were grounded, while the air
Pan Am became the third U.S. airline to die this year, after Eastern and midway, amid deep industrywide war by the gulf war and the recession.
The death blow had come a day earlier in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Delta Air Lines cut off funding to keep Pan Am in the air because it did not believe Pan Am's business plan would work at a time when losses were about $2 million a day and bookings were plunging.
Attempts to keep the airline alive with emergency funding from Carl Icahn, head of Trans World Airlines, failed.
Delta had previously agreed to invest millions in a new Pan Am that would have moved from New York to Miami and focused on serving Latin America, with 45 percent to be owned by Pan Am's creditors.
Passengers holding Pan Am tick-
eers were told to check with other
airlines before boarding.
"It makes no sense to keep putting money down a black hole," Delta rep-
Pan Am tickets.
Most of Pan Am's remaining 7,500
people are told to stay home
unless called
Passengers who called Pan Amog a recording that said, "We deeply regret that economic circumstances have forced us to take this action."
The demise of Pan Am left the government scrambling to find carriers to take over abandoned routes into South America and Europe. The Department of Transportation gave a deadline for new airboats noon to file for emergency authority to fly the routs and said it might award some of them by today.
United Airlines, the nation's second-largest carrier, appeared to be a top candidate to get Pan Am's routes to Europe and had tried to purchase this summer.
United wants to get into that market to compete with the only other U.S. carrier serving it, archrival American Airlines, American said it would like some of Pan Arm's Latin American routes but doubted it could get them because of antitrust concerns.
Northwest Airlines was hoping to get the route from Detroit to London, which was part of a package of Pan Am assets Delta had agreed to buy. Northwest's challenge prompted a government review of that route, while Delta secured the rest of the package.
Delta said yesterday that it wasn't holding out much hope of getting the Detroit-London route, particularly the Transportation Secretary Samuel A. Alvarez and Atlanta-based carrier's withdrawal from the Pan Am financing deal.
