Traffic Gains Reported for First Quarter
LAD Passengers Up Eight Per Cent In Opening Weeks
Gains in both passenger and cargo traffic have been registered by Pan American in the opening weeks of 1963, continuing a climbing trend established throughout 1962, one of the best years in the Company’s history.
For the first month of 1963, passenger miles throughout the System were up. In Overseas Division, they rose by 18 per cent and in Latin American Division by eight per cent. A striking increase of 29 per cent was tallied in the Atlantic area, with an additional 27 per cent rise in the Intra German Service.
System Cargo Up
Cargo ton miles throughout the System increased over the opening months of the preceding year by almost 30 per cent. In Overseas Division, the ton mile rise was 23.7 per cent, while on LAD routes, the cargo ton mile increase was 43.6 per cent.
Building on gains in 1962, thesq figures indicate a strong year for Pan Am, with continued gains, especially in air cargo.
1962 Good Year
Last year, increases over 1961 were recorded in both passenger and cargo operations as well. The Company flew 110,831,000 revenue miles during the year, an increase of 9.2 per cent over the preceding 12 months.
Pan Am operated 7.2 billion passenger miles in 1962, a 22 per cent gain, and passengers carried increased 18.4 per cent.
Revenue ton miles for the year were 1,042,200,000, an 18 per cent rise. Pan Am’s total earnings for 1962 were up 62.6 per cent, the first time in Company history that they surpassed the half a billion dollar mark.
PILOT TRAINING SPEEDED
Training of jet pilots for the Boeing 720B aircraft recently purchased from American Airlines, is being accelerated with 11 Miami crews nearing completion of their tests. Another class was scheduled to start about 15 April. Thirty-four crews already have qualified for DC-8 jets and have been checked out.
WORK MOVES AHEAD speedily on Pan American's enlarged jet overhaul facilities and administration offices at the airline's 36th Street base. Steel placing was nearing completion in mid-April and it is expected some units will be moving in the new structure about June 15. Construction of the executive building is underway.
Gibson Dealers to Nassau
Two Giant Airlifts Scheduled For Sales Contest Winners
Two giant airlifts of incentive sales contest winners are being flown from the United States to Nassau and Jamaica by Pan American.
Five thousand dealers of the Gibson Refrigerator Division of the Hupp Corporation will fly tof*
Nassau beginning September 5th to preview 1964 appliances, and more
-A
than a thousand mid-western neighborhood grocers are being flown to Jamaica to explore latest merchandising techniques this month and in May.
Sixty Jet Flights
An airlift of 60 Jet Clipper flights between Nassau and 23 major United States cities will be flown for Gibson by Pan American.
Groups of dealers will spend four days in Nassau inspecting Gibson products and exploring Bahamas’ attractions. As each group leaves, another group will take its place in a sequence which will last most of September.
Jet Clippers, accommodating 159 passengers, will fly the dealers from cities in all parts of the country.
One of the pioneers in flying large numbers of dealers to conventions and sales meetings outside continental United States, Gibson in 1960 flew 5,000 dealers to Hawaii aboard Pan Am Clippers and was the first in its field to contract for a large scale movement by jet. Last
SIGNING FOR AIRLIFT—Executives of the Gibson refrigerator concern sign contract with Pan American for 60 jet flights between the U.S. and Nassau.

Conley, president, Gibson Refrigerator Sales Corporation,- James Montgomery, Pan Am vice president, passenger sales.
year, Gibson dealers made a second expedition to Hawaii aboard Pan Am, with stops at Las Vegas.
Retailers Earn Trip
The neighborhood grocers airlift is composed of merchants served by the Independent Grocers Alliance, a group of seven wholesale firms.
Retailers will earn the trip to Jamaica and the stay at the Royal Caribbean Hotel in Montego Bay through incentive sales contests sponsored by each of the seven wholesalers. Pan Am will carry the retailers on 24 flights between Jamaica and the Midwest during April and early May.
Travel as a sales incentive has been one of the most successful techniques used in modern volume merchandising, but in the past has been applied almost entirely to sell major appliances and other costly items.
Grocers From Midwest
The Independent Grocers Alliance program is believed to be the first to apply incentive sales techniques to the food merchandising field.
The retailers who earn trips to Montego Bay will assemble from communities throughout the Midwest, departing from LaCrosse, Stevens Point, Duluth, Youngstown, Ohio; Minneapolis, Green Bay, Wise., and Champaign.
In many of these communities, it will be the first time that a Pan Am plane has landed at the local airport. Pan Am is the leading American-flag international airline but does not have scheduled flights to these mid-western points.
Pan Am Promotes Tours by Air, Sea
Pan American is participating in joint efforts with four major U.S.-flag steamship lines aimed at achieving wider promotion of air-sea tours aboard U.S. carriers.
Folders outlining tours to Europe and the Middle East, South America and the Far East have been prepared. The carriers featured besides Pan Am are American Export Lines and United States Lines, to Europe and the Mediterranean; Moore McCormack Lines, to South America; and American President Lines, to the Pacific and the Far East.
Cooperation between the steamship lines and Pan Am will include training programs in which Pan Am will instruct personnel from the other carriers.
Automatic Dial Phones to Speed Service at Base
An automatic dial system, Centrex, will make telephone service speedier and more efficient this fall in Pan Am’s consolidated Miami base.
The new system makes it possible for outside callers to bypass the switchboard and dial individuals directly. Each Pan Am phone,will have an individual number instead of an extension number.
An advance educational program is being planned by communications to assure that the system works effectively from the start. Individuals will be advised of their phone number so they may advise those who call frequently.
The Pan Am switchboard will furnish this information as calls come in.
Centrex also will provide for direct dialing through foreign exchange and System tie-lines.
Food Supervisor Named for LAD
Sergio M. Fieschi has been named Food and Beverage Supervisor for Intercontinental Hotels Corporation’s Latin American Division, it has been announced by Mario di Genova, vice president for operations, Latin America, and Peter Balas, director of food and beverage operations, New York.
Fieschi received his elementary education in his native, Milan, Italy, later studying at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. He received training at hotels in Switzerland and Italy and later served on the Homes Lines’ S. S. Homeric. After coming to the United States in 1956, Fieschi was for four years associated with Delmonico’s Restaurant, New York City, where he was General Manager. Since June, 1961, Fieschi has been with Intercontinental’s Hotel Tamanaco, Caracas, Venezuela, holding the post of Food and Beverage Manager. He will remain at the Tamanaco.
FAA Selects Pan Am for Test Program
Evaluation Plan May Reduce Costs For Maintenance
Pan American has been chosen by the U.S. Federal Aviation Agency to take part in a maintenance evaluation program which eventually may save the airline industry untold thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.
The program, if adopted, would place in the airline’s hands the responsibility for setting time limits between overhauls for systems and components of aircraft, subject to review after the fact by the FAA. At present, the FAA must approve in advance all changes in overhaul time limits.
Committee Named
For the initial study, a working committee headed by Ralph Dobbins, chief-staff engineering, has selected five systems of DC8 aircraft for evaluation.
Those chosen are DC8 airfoil anti-ice system, hydraulic power system, fuel quantity indicating system, cabin pressurization system, and cabin air re-circulation system.
Under the initial program, if the performance of a particular system is better than indicated by the performance alert value established for that particular system, the airline may extend the interval between overhauls in a prescribed manner.
Special Study Made
If actual performance falls below the alert value, a special study is conducted to determine the cause and the overhaul times of components within the system are closely screened to determine that any increase in the overhaul time of any component will not have and adverse effect on the overall system reliability.
Each month, the airline advises the FAA on how actual performance compares with the latest alert figure for each system being evaluated.
If the evaluation program demonstrates that the time between overhauls on any particular unit can be increased then fewer units will require overhaul for a given amount of flying time. Fewer spare parts will be required as fewer units will be undergoing overhaul at any one time.
Six-Month Program
The present program will continue for a 6-month period and will be closely monitored by the FAA. It is hoped that the program can be continued and expanded so that it will cover the entire DC8 aircraft and also include the Boeings.
Members of the working committee from the Latin American division in addition to Chairman Dobbins include: M. Benedetti, LAD superintendent of service analysis, and Sam Stallone, LAD supervisor of control procedures.
William McClintock, representing the LAD engineering superintendent, is a member of the steering committee.
Transfer Service at Idlewild Aids Latin American Tourists
at^
Nearly 20,000 persons arriving International and domestic terminals at Idlewild Airport, New York City in the past ten months, were assisted by Pan American in making connections for overseas flights.
A major transit point for travelers from Latin America, Idlewild’s International Arrivals Building is served by Pan Am radio equipped station wagons that facilitate transfer of passengers to the Pan Am terminal. Baggage in bond is moved without customs inspection by the airline from one aircraft to another. At the same time the passenger is met and assisted through a customs inspection of his hand luggage, after which transportation
is furnished to the Pan Am terminal.
Radio equipped station wagons staffed by drivers and experienced ground hostesses also meet passengers at the arrival gates of domestic carriers and transfer them to the Pan Am terminal at no charge if they are making direct connections with departing Pan Am flights.
The system has worked so successfully that it has been introduced by Pan Am for passengers at Chicago and Los Angeles.
At Idlewild, two station wagons with hostess-drivers teams are on duty 16 hours a day.
