JET AGE MAGIC AT MERIDA . . . PAGE 3 SHOP FACILITIES PICTURES . . PAGES 4-5-6 CLIPPER LATIN AMERICAN DIVISION VOL. XXI, No. 5 MIAMI, FLORIDA, JULY 1964 640625 AVIATION AND SPACE Council, of Dade Chamber of Commerce, is launched as William F. Raven, left, division manager of Pan Am's Latin American Division, is named president. Here he is pictured chatting with Chairman Alan S. Boyd, of Civil Aeronautics Board, at meeting. Boyd Is Guest Speaker Aviation, Space Council Names Raven as President Division Manager William F. Raven of Pan American has been named president of a newly-formed Aviation & Space Council in Miami, designed to provide “a great segment of industry that can be mobilized as a unit to support worthwhile ----------------------- Jet Flights Link Europe, Mid-Americas Service Connects From Guatemala at Miami for Lisbon Twice weekly jet flights from Central America to Europe through connecting service at Miami are being offered by Pan American. The jet flights, originating in Guatemala each Monday and Saturday, stop briefly at San Salvador, then continue nonstop to Miami. At Miami the jets from Central America make direct connections with Jet Clippers, flying the Mid-Atlantic to Puerto Rico and Lisbon. Fast Trip on Jets The combination of jet speed and immediate connections make it possible for Central Americans to leave Guatemala and San Salvador in the early afternoon and arrive in Portugal the following morning fully rested and relaxed. Pan Am jets fly from Lisbon to Spain, France and Italy. The new summer schedule also offers increased and faster jet service for tourists traveling between Central America and Miami and New Orleans. Flights Increased Jet flights from Miami to Guatemala are increased to three a week and to San Salvador to four a week. There are four jet flights a week from New Orleans to Guatemala and two a week from New Orleans to San Salvador. One of the flights between New Orleans and Guatemala is nonstop, cutting flying time to two hours and 15 minutes. Four jet flights are scheduled each week from San Salvador and Guatemala to New Orleans. All flights to and from the U.S. air gateways connect at Guatemala and San Salvador with Clipper flights throughout Central America. German Brokers Pay Visit To Florida Florida’s sand and sunshine came under the scrutiny of 10 German real estate brokers for four days, when prospective German investors, accompanied by William Voigt, Pan American Airways public relations representative at Frankfurt, Germany, arrived in New York by jet Clipper and flew to Miami, then drove across Florida to visit the Cape Coral properties on the West Coast. The trip is viewed as a forerunner of future travel to Florida by similar German investor groups. Training Mockup Has Sound Added “The flight that never leaves the ground” is now complete with a full range of sounds to match the details of intercontinental flying. “Clipper Venus” is a full-scale Boeing 707 mock-up located at Pan Am Hangar 14 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York, and is used to train flight service personnel. The latest refinement of the mock-up has the sounds of engines being started, taxiing, taking off, approaching and landing piped into the cabin via magnetic tape recordings played over the same equipment used to provide background music during passenger boarding and disembarking. The sound effects have an important training value since they enable flight service personnel to relate timing of cabin announcements and other duties to what is actually occurring, in the same manner as they would during a real flight. community projects.1 Guest speaker at the luncheon was Alan S. Boyd, chairman of the U. S. Civil Aeronautics Board, who was introduced by Mayor Charles Hall, of Dade County. The Council, a unit of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, represents every segment of the aviation and space community. Other Officers Officers serving with Mr. Raven are John L. Morris, vice president of National Airlines, first vice president, and R. S. Skidmore, public relations director of Aerodex, Inc., a fixed base operator, second vice president. They were installed by John Halliburton, vice president of Eastern Air Lines, who is president of the Miami-Dade Chamber. “We have created the Aviation and Space Council, fully realizing that with our great number of employes and extensive resources there comes an equal measure of community responsibility,” Mr. Raven told more than 300 business and political leaders who attended the Council’s first general membership meeting and installation luncheon. New Problems Develop “In the past, our Aviation and Space industry representatives have played leading roles as individuals in the United Fund, Chamber of Commerce, and other community endeavors. As individuals, they will continue to do so. However, as aviation continues to grow, new problems and situations develop which will have to be resolved through the support — not only of individuals — but of industry as a whole . . . “Our aim and program is quite simple — to put our specialized knowledge and experience at the disposal of the community ... We are first of all part of the community; secondarily, we are members of the Aviation and Space industry.” Boyd Guest Speaker Boyd, four times chairman of the CAB, urged Miami’s community leaders to get together and choose goals, aiming all effort toward future expansion. “What kind of county, industry, CONTINUED ON PAGE 7 May Traffic Sets Record Pan American passenger and cargo traffic for May both exceeded all previous records for the month. Pan Am System May gains totaled 19.2 per cent in passenger traffic and 30.7 per cent in cargo. Atlantic traffic was particularly high in both categories with a 32.5 per cent increase in revenue passenger miles compared to May 1963 and a 34.3 per cent increase in cargo ton miles. Pan Am carried 59,842 passengers across the Atlantic compared to 43,311 during May of 1963 — a gain of 38.2 per cent. Pan Am flew 650,075,000 revenue passenger miles in May compared to 545,250,000 in May 1963. This included a 9.6 per cent increase for Latin America, a 24.8 per cent increase for Alaska and an 8.1 per cent gain for the Pacific. Cargo ton miles totaled 19,336,000 compared to 14,799,000 in May 1963 and included a 43.6 per cent increase for the Pacific, a 12.9 per cent gain for Latin America and a 25 per cent increase for Alaska. Schedule Cuts Hour From Travel Time Travel time between Belem, Paramaribo, Georgetown and New York has been cut by one hour when Pan American eliminated Antigua as a stop on the route. With the elimination of Antigua, the jet Clippers fly nonstop between Barbados and New York in four and one-half hours, saving one hour and ten minutes on the 2,275-mile air link. Northbound jet flights leave Belem, Paramaribo and Georgetown each Sunday morning at present departure times but will arrive in New York at 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. The time saving also is reflected in Saturday’s southbound jet flights. Split of Stock Becomes Effective The two-for-one split of Pan American capital stock, approved by the stockholders on May 26, has become effective with filing of the necessary papers with the Secretary of State of New York. This is the third time that Pan American has split its capital stock. The adjusted conversion price at which Pan Am’s 4% per cent convertible subordinated debentures due in 1979 may be converted into shares of capital stock is $15 per share. The adjusted conversion price at which its 4% per cent convertible subordinated debentures due in 1984 may be converted into shares of capital stock is $29.25 per share. Morrison Named Head of UF Division Executive Vice President Wilbur L. Morrison, in charge of Pan Am’s Latin American Division, has been named chairman of the newly organized Industrial Division of the Dade County United Fund. He will be assisted by Justin Havee, senior buyer for Pan Am, who will serve as associ- MORRISON ate chairman. Mr. Morrison is vice president of the United Fund and a director. This is the fourth year Messrs. Morrison and Havee have headed this UF division. During the first year it was known as the Industrial Division, then the designation was changed to the Transportation Division for two years. Under the reorganization it becomes the Industrial Division again. The unit is composed of nine sections which are, General Aviation, Apparel, Chemicals, Plastics, Engineering-Research - Testing, Metal Products, Furniture, Marine and Paper and Petroleum Products, including 480 sepa-rte firms. Last year Mr. Morrison’s Division was the first to report 100 per cent of its quota for the United Fund drive. HAVEE One-Stop Flights To Link Miami, Rio Miami and Rio de Janeiro will be nine hours apart by jetliner when Pan American begins one-stop flights between the Florida air gate-way and the former Brazilian capital. From Miami the jets fly the 1,700 miles to Trinidad in three hours and 15 minutes. They stop at Trinidad for 45 minutes, then continue the 2,606 miles to Rio in five hours. The jets leave Miami each Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m. Return flights are on Saturday. Pam Am is continuing its once a week jet flight between Miami and Brazil by way of San Juan and Caracas. Beginning June 7, Pan Am increased from one to two flights a week through jet flights from Miami to San Juan, St. Croix, Antigua, Point a Pitre, Bridgetown and Port of Spain. Pan Am’s WORLD of SERVICE Depends on YOU Income Sets All-Time High Earnings Mark First 4 Months Loss for 1964 Cut to $410,000 Income after taxes for Pan American in 1963 was $33,568,000 or $5.13 per share. An all-time high for Pan Am, these earnings also set a record for the air transportation industry, Juan T. Trippe reported at the annual stockholder’s meeting in New York. This return on investment is below the rate which the CAB has determined to be reasonable. Downward Trend Reversed Mr. Trippe pointed out that the downward trend of the United States Flag airlines’ share of North Atlantic passengers has been reversed. From a low of 37 per cent in 1961, the U.S. share is now up to 43 per cent, a notable contribution to this country’s current balance of payments deficit. Pan Am now carries 25 per cent of all transatlantic passenger traffic. This favorable trend continues in 1964. Pan Am’s net loss for the first four months last year was $2,179,000. For the first four months this year, losses were reduced to $410,000, an improvement of $1,700,000. Overseas Travel Doubles Overseas air travel, Mr. Trippe reported, has doubled in the past five years, and 1964 is expected to break all records. Contributing factors include a healthy economy in the United States and Europe, new low fares on the Atlantic, to Hawaii and to the Caribbean. Also the New York World’s Fair and the Olympic games in Tokyo. In recent months, Pan Am’s routes were extended to Yugoslavia, Morocco and Guinea in Africa, and to Tahiti in the South Seas. Jet Clippers also began flying to San Salvador and Aruba. Santo Domingo Flights Upped Pan American has increased nonstop jet flights from six to ten a week between New York and Santo Domingo to carry summer tourists and business travelers between the New York area and the Dominican Republic. In addition to the nonstop flights, there are to be four jet flights each week between New York and Santo Domingo by way of Puerto Rico. These flights also reinstate Pan Am’s jet service between Santo Domingo and San Juan. The nonstop jet flights between New York and Santo Domingo increase from six to eight a week on June 9 and from eight to ten a week on June 21. The one-stop flights between New York and Santo Domingo by way of San Juan also start June 21. With the start of the increased service, Pan Am will offer first class, economy class and thrift class accommodations between New York and Santo Domingo and both first class and thrift class on jets between Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico. The schedule provides for morning, afternoon and night departures at both New York and Santo Domingo. PAN AM FILM WINS “In U. S. Hands,” a motion picture depicting the American heritage of a Jet Clipper flight crew, has won a Golden Eagle Award for its sponsor, Pan American Airways. The award is made by the Council on International Nontheatrical Events to “outstanding cinematographic productions.” CINE indicated it would designate “In U.S. Hands” to represent the United States in one or more international film festivals.
