Cargo Volume to Double,Trippe Predicts
New Facilities Ready Pan American's new base
facilities on 36th Street are now complete with most departments operating out of the new offices and hangar areas. The airview picture shows the layout, looking west on 36th Street. In the fore-
ground, lower left, is the Administration Building with its 22 flags representing the republics of Latin and North America. In background are the old hangars 6, 7 and 8 with the new extensions and offices on 36th Street. The facilities will be dedicated sometime in May.
Base is Built Without Halt In Operations
All departments of Pan American’s huge Miami base hummed on without missing a beat while hundreds of workmen built new $7 million facilities around them.
While air hammers tripped and concrete mixers rumbled outside their windows, traffic, operations and maintenance experts went about the business of keeping the airline operating on schedule.
As the new quarters became ready, huge machines and the most delicate electronic gear, along with a thousand and one other items, were carefully dismantled and moved several miles from various locations around Miami International airport to the new consolidated facilities on N. W. 36th St.
Moving Time 2 Days
The moving corps operated with such well-drilled precision that the average time for transferring entire shops — such as the engine shop, propeller shop, radio shop and others — was only two days.
It didn’t just happen that way. It took many months of careful planning.
Long before ground was broken, planners had worked out every detail of the complex project. Temporary quarters were provided for departments located within the construction area; personnel gates were moved and fences built around the site.
For security reasons in critical maintenance areas, special badge identification was provided to construction workers. Access to restricted work areas within the premises had to be controlled, special pedestrian and vehicle entrances and exits designated, with all traffic to and from hangar facilities routed around the construction site. Step-By-Step Program
Almost a full year before the first shovel of earth was turned, the airline’s industrial engineering section had worked out a step - by - step program outlining even the most minute details of the project. Every detail of the construction was worked out to avoid any disruption of maintenance procedures and insure smooth operation of the airline.
When the construction contract was let in November 1962, Pan Am’s engineers presented the airline requirements to the construction company. A master plan, including all contractors’ requirements CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
Jet Service is Inaugurated To Aruba From New York
Pan Am added a third Netherlands Antilles island to its official scheduled destination points in April when a nonstop jet flight from New York landed at Aruba. The aircraft was christened the “Clipper Aruba.”
Aboard the inaugural were 71 special Pan Am guests — editors, writers, travel agents and representatives of industry and government. Official hosts for Pan Am were Vice President Erwin Bal-luder, LAD Public Relations Manager S. Roger Wolin and George B. Cammann, assistant to the U.S. sales manager.
Aruba’s Lieutenant Governor Oscar Henriquez welcomed the guests to the island. Balluder thanked him and his fellow Arubans. The more than 3,500 island-
ers who had come to the airport for the ceremonies cheered when Mrs. Vera Henriquez, wife of the lieutenant governor, emptied a silver pitcher of water from Aruba’s new sea water conversion plant over the aircraft and said:
“I christen thee the Clipper Aruba, to carry the name and fame of this tropical paradise island to all parts of the world.”
Local girls in colorful island costumes served the guests chilled “Cuicui,” Aruba’s liqueur, before they left the airport for the Aruba Caribbean Hotel, situated on beautiful Palm Beach.
The Aruba program was arranged by Tourist Board Director Michael Kuiperi; Pieter Wurtz of S.E.L. Maduro & Sons, Pan Am CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
FIRST TO BE HONORED—President Juan T. Trippe, right, receives the first annual President's Award of the International Executives Association, presented by Grant S. Farquahr, chairman of the association's general committee. The award cited Trippe for "creation of a favorable U.S. image abroad, expansion of U.S. trade and development in the U.S. in an increasingly greater realization of the importance of international trade as a primary factor in the creation of a peaceful world."
First Quarter Traffic Hits Record High
The first quarter of 1964 was the best first quarter in Pan American Airways’ history, with a 12.4 per cent increase in passenger travel over the record levels of a year ago.
Pan Am carried 87,529 passengers across the Atlantic during the January-March months, nearly
26.000 more than any other carrier.
Gain In January
The airline flew 1,575,454,000 revenue passenger miles during the quarter, including a 14.9 per cent gain in January over January of 1963, an 18.1 per cent gain in February and 5.2 per cent in March.
The March total marked the 37th consecutive month that Pan Am has established new monthly passenger traffic records. The airline flew 535,828,000 revenue passenger miles in March compared to 509,-
502.000 in March of 1963.
April Traffic Up
A spokesman said that April traffic had increased sharply since April 1, when new low transatlantic fares were introduced. In the first 14 days of April, Pan Am carried 11,500 passengers to Europe, an increase of 66.5 per cent over the 1963 comparable period.
A 35 per cent increase in spring and summer transatlantic traffic for Pan Am, stimulated by the low transatlantic fare, is expected by the airline.
Maduro to Handle PAA Business in Aruba
With the beginning of scheduled operations at Aruba, all matters pertaining to the station will be handled by the general agents, S.E.L. Maduro & Sons, with offices on Oranjestad, Aruba. The director of Maduro is Pieter Wurtz.
Until all agency personnel are checked out in traffic and operations functions, Pat Wildenburg will be acting station manager.
Operational, traffic and sales business is being handled with the
general agent with copies of correspondence sent to the acting station manager through July 31,
1964.

Pan Am Flies More Freight Than Others
Earnings in 1963 Set New Record; Expenses Also Ep
“In a few years air cargo volume will double, leading to the day when industry revenues from air freight business overseas equal revenues from passengers, repeating the history of surface transport,” Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan American, said in the Company’s annual report. “Overseas air freight will increase at a more rapid rate than passenger traffic,” Trippe added.
In 1933, Pan Am, the world’s largest air cargo carrier, flew 200 million cargo ton-miles in scheduled overseas service—twice that of any other carrier—producing a record $54,395,000 in cargo revenue.
All-Time High Earnings “Pan Am inaugurated jet service for passengers in 1958 and it also opened the jet age for air freight when it placed three all-cargo jets in service in June, 1963,” Trippe said. “By June, 1964, Pan American will have taken delivery of 11 all-cargo jets, with two more scheduled for delivery the following winter. These 13 jet freighters, the largest and fastest in service, will bring Pan Am’s jet cargo fleet investment to $110,000,000.”
Pan Am’s earnings, in 1963, were at an all-time high, setting a new record in the air transport industry. Net income after taxes was $33,568,000, or $5.13 per share. This compares to $15,007,000, or $2.23 per share in 1962. Net income included capital gains of $2,487,000 in 1963, compared to $648,000 for the previous year.
Operating Costs Up Operating revenues for 1963, not including affiliated companies, rose
11.3 per cent to $560,917,000. Operating expenses, however, also excluding affiliated companies, increased but 5 per cent. Cost per revenue ton-mile was reduced to
42.4 cents from 44 cents the year before. Cost per available ton-mile was down to 23 cents from 24.7 cents.
“The downward trend in Ameri-can-flag airlines’ share of the transatlantic market was reversed for the first time since 1955,” Trippe pointed out. “United States airlines carried 41.5 per cent of the traffic, compared to 36.3 per cent in 1962, with Pan Am’s share being 24.9 per cent.”
New Business Jets Trippe reported that during 1963 and early 1964, Intercontinental Hotels Corporation, Pan American’s wholly owned subsidiary, added 10 new hotels to its chain—in Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Ivory Coast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Geneva, Vienne and Jerusalem. IHC will open hotels shortly in Amman, Jordan, Karachi, Pakis-stan, and Zagreb, Yugoslavia, for a total of 27 hotels. Nine additional Intercontinental hotels are under contract or construction in India, Thairland, Germany, New Zealand, Indonesia and Pakistan.
Trippe also reported that Pan Am’s Business Jets Division is acquiring 40 business aircraft, built by Dassault of France. An additional 120 will be acquired in future years unless cancelled by Pan Am on payment of a designated penalty. Powered by American-built General Electric fan-jet engines, and equipped with American-built accessories and other equipment — all specified by Pan Am — these aircraft, to be designated the “Fan-Jet Falcon,” will carry eight passengers, have short CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
