More Fall-Winter Flights Than Ever NEW YORK—Pan Am will operate the largest fall-win ter flight schedule in its his tory. Most of the schedule goes into effect on Oct. 27. The 1968-69 schedule in cludes a record number of tran satlantic, tran sp acific and Caribbean flights. Pan Am will operate 258 weekly flights across the At lantic during the peak season compared to 248 last year, and 96 transpacific flights compared to 72 last year. There will be 682 weekly flights between the mainland and the Caribbean, compared to 530 last year. One highlight of the fallwinter schedule is an in crease in service to the Vir gin Islands, with 32 weekly flights from New York and nine weekly flights from Miami during the peak sea son. Pan Am offered 23 weekly flights from New York to the Virgin Islands and seven from Miami last win ter. A total of 298 weekly flights will be offered be tween the mainland and San Juan, compared to 234 last year. The total includes 160 flights to and from New York; 62, Miami; 28, Phila delphia; 18, Newark; and 14 each to and from Washing ton, Baltimore and Boston. The Bahamas will have six daily flights from Miami, three from New York, and one from Washington. There will be three daily nonstop flights from New York to Ja maica, two to Antigua, and Volume 28 October 1, 1968 Pan Am to Run Teterboro WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Civil Aeronautics Board has approved Pan Am’s proposal to operate and develop Teter boro Airport in New Jersey for general aviation planes. The decision, on Sept. 27, makes Pan Am the first major airline to operate a general aviation airport in the United States. The CAB, in approving Pan Am’s leasing of the airport, commented that private opera tion of Teterboro would be the quickest way of developing a facility for general aviation that would draw the small planes away from the area’s congested airports. Pan Am will take over the airport from the Port of New York Authority about Jan. 1, 1969, when a 30-year lease will become effective. Pan Am will make an ini tial investment of $20 million to construct a new terminal building, two maintenance hangars, and 19 smaller han gars to be rented to corporate owners of aircraft and for other aviation activities. The program includes de velopment of runways and taxiways, modernization of existing hangars and ample indoor and outdoor parking for business and private air craft. The Port Authority has al ready begun improving run ways: the prime instrument runway will be extended from 5.000 to 6,000 feet and be widened to 150 feet, as will a second runway which is being lengthened from 5,000 to 7.000 feet. The cost—$3.7 mil lion—is shared equally by Pan Am and the Federal govern ment. Teterboro will be operated by Pan Am exclusively for pri vate and business aircraft ex cept for scheduled helicopter service and air taxi opera tions. Neither Pan Am nor any other scheduled, commer cial airline will use the field for commercial flights. With helicopter and charter ed air taxi services flying out of Teterboro, the airline ex pects one result to be greater convenience for New Jersey residents connecting with do mestic or international flights at one of the area’s major jetports — JFK, LaGuardia and Newark. But other advantages are expected to accrue to the re gion in general. High on the list, of course, is an alle(Continued on Page 4) one each to Barbados and Santo Domingo. Daily direct flights from New York will also serve Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe; Fort de France, Martinque; Port of Spain, Trinidad; Port au Prince, Haiti; and King ston, Jamaica. From Miami, Pan Am will operate four daily flights to San Juan, three to Montego Bay, and two to Kinkston, Ja maica. There will be daily service to Barbados, Haiti, Trinidad and Santo Domingo. Pan Am will offer 14 non stop flights per week between New York and Caracas; eight nonstop flights between New York and Buenos Aires and six nonstops between New York and Rio de Janeiro. Pan Am will also offer its first service from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Managua, Nicaragua and San Jose, Costa Rica. v On the Pacific, Pan Am will offer four daily flights be tween the continental United States and Japan, one more than last year. There will be a daily flight from Los An geles direct to Tokyo via San Francisco; two daily Los Angeles-Tokyo flights via Hono lulu; and a daily San Francisco-Tokyo flight via Hono lulu. South Pacific service has been increased from 10 to 15 flights a week in each direc tion. Additions to this fall’s service include nonstop serv ice between Honolulu and Sydney and two-stop service between New York and Syd ney. Weekly flights between the United States and Sydney have been increased from seven to nine a week in each direction; and weekly flights between the United States and American Samoa have been increased from three to five. Also on the Pacific, there will, be 28 weekly flights be tween Seattle, Portland and Hawaii, 68 weekly flights be tween San Francisco and Hawaii, and 104 weekly flights between Los Angeles and Hawaii. On its transatlantic serv ice, Pan Am will provide daily nonstop flights from New York to London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt, Lisbon, Brussels and Amsterdam. There will also be daily serv(Continued on Page 10) Olympic 'News Torch’ Is Handed to Pan Am MEXICO CITY — Pan Am has been exclusively assigned to carry all press shipments from the Olympic Village to newspaper, magazine and broadcast media throughout the world during the XIX Olympic Games here. The operation began today under the general supervision of Findley Howard, Pan Am’s district Traffic and Sales man ager. The Pan Am function will continue 24 hours a day until the games are ended on Oct. 27. The job involves providing transportation from the Olym pics press center to the air port, routing, documentation, and Customs clearance. Pro tecting all the shipments is Pan Am’s world-wide teletype system, to safeguard the mes sages. If shipments are des tined for points not served by Pan Am, delivery will be made to other airlines for trans shipment. Most of the larger news paper, television and radio chains were expected to begin sending out material by Oct. 1. The games start on Oct. 12.

August was the record-breaking month for Pan Am’s IGS: all previous passenger records were shattered. A total of 290,497 passengers were carried on 3,014 flights. That’s 72,237 more than in August, 1967. It’s 30,714 more pas sengers than during July, 1968, which was the last time the record was broken.
