Rebirth of Pan Am a step closer
One of the most storied brand names in aviation is inching its way slowly toward a rebirth.
A move to restart Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) has officially begun with the initial steps of FAA certification having begun.
Pan American Global Holdings, which owns the branding rights has started the process to reestablish the airline.
It has filed for a Part 121 scheduled operator license in the US.
It is working on it with consulting firm AVi8 Air Capital, which has formulated a startup business plan.
The firm says it has experienced airline professionals in place to assist with the certification process and has support from lessors.
