the ground.

involving American airline Pan
American World Airways. The airline
suffered a total of 95 incidents.
 Cont…..
• Pan Am, having once called itself “The
World's Most Experienced Airline”,

 Cont…
• In sharing the shame and blame of the December
1991 demise of Pan American World Airways, some
say that the company's long slide started with
founder Juan Terry Trippe, viewed by many as
arrogant in conducting business and who never
planned for a qualified, long-term successor. Others
argue that the company's downfall came from more
fundamental causes, such as poor management,
deregulation, unions, apathy and etc.
 Solution
• After the incident; the training academy was
permitted to remain open independently in
1992 under its current name, Pan Am
International Flight Academy. The company

aircraft that remains in service to date is Clipper
Lindbergh, a Boeing 747SP that was originally
delivered to Pan Am in 1977. Today, it’s being used
by NASA as an airborne observatory.
 Financing Sought

years after filing for bankruptcy. It restarted as a shell of the
company that originally started in 1928 and was one the most
recognized airlines in the world.

million to become the controlling shareholder, while Pan Am
put its famous blue-globe logo on Carnival Airlines’ larger
fleet.
• The new Pan Am began with 250 employees and three jets,
offering one daily flight between New York and Miami, and
New York and Los Angeles. It eventually carried 5,000
passengers daily to 14 cities, serving Florida, the Northeast,
Midwest and Puerto Rico.
 Summary
• Pan American World Airways is known as a symbol
of the historic days of aviation. While the airline was
the largest international carrier in the United States
until its demise in 1991.
• At its peak the airline also set two around the world
records, both using the B747. The airline was fairly
old when it ceased operations due to bankruptcy.
• Founded in 1927, the airline would be 91 had it
survived to the present day. Instead, it ceased
operations in 1991 at 64 years old. The Pan Am
name lives on, however, and has now been adopted
by a private rail transport company.
 Cont….
 The airlines lost basic trust of security in its
customers.
 People started associating Pan Am as a major
target for terrorists.
 Despite the company’s constant promises of
commitment to increasing its airline’s security, the
public was simply not willing to fly with Pan Am
anymore.
 Ultimately the company stood helpless to
reinforce the diminishing relation with its
customers and people in general.
 Cont…
 After three years of flying with empty seats
since Pan Am flight 103 disaster , in 1991
the company went bankrupt and shut
down.
• Some crises are too big to recover from.
Pan Am handled the Lockerbie disaster as
best as it could, but the decline in public
confidence proved too much leading to
ultimately shutting down of the airlines.
