PAL—see Philippine Airlines Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) a subsidiary of Pan American Corporation, recently had both its chairman and president resign, following internal recriminations regarding possible sale of the company to Braniff, the airline having lost more than $1 billion since 1980. A deal has now been reached whereby the employees of the company have agreed to wage and cost reductions worth $180 million a year, in return for a 20 per cent equity stake and the sacking of the chairman, Ed. Acker. Pan Am acquired Ransome Airlines on April 17, 1986, which began services in the following June as "Pan Am Express", feeding mainly into Pan Am's New York (JFK) hub. In May 1986 Pan Am Corporation formed "Alert", a worldwide anti- terrorist special security unit, to protect passengers and crews at major airports worldwide. Routes: Pan Am operates an extensive network of scheduled passenger services, covering around 56 points in the USA, 14 in the Caribbean, ten in South America, plus Europe, the Middle East, and India. Pan Am is the largest operator at New York (JFK). After losing its Pacific division, Pan Am has concentrated on expanding its transatlantic services. Nine new European destinations (Leningrad, Moscow, Milan, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Prague, Krakov, and Shannon) were added in 1986, bringing the number of European points served to 40. A network of local services in Germany is also operated. In December 1986 Pan Am became the first US carrier to link the USA and Saudi Arabia directly, with a same-aircraft New York—Frankfurt—Riyadh service. History: Pan Am was originally formed in 1927. Considerable international route expansion took place in the post-war years, so that by the 1960s Pan Am had an extensive world-wide network of services. During 1979 the Metropolitan Air Facilities division (general- aviation services), the Aerospace Services division (support for Kennedy Space Centre missile activities), and the Airline Services division (airline and airport technical and management assistance) were merged into Pan Am World Services, with headquarters at the Pan Am Building in New York City. Pan Am became the then second largest airline in the USA in 1979, by acquiring a majority stockholding in National Airlines of Miami. Full integration of the two airlines was implemented following the 1980 summer season. In February 1986 the company sold its entire Pacific division to United Airlines.
