Europe.
Pan American is phasing the Boeing 707-321 Intercontinental jets into transatlantic service as they are delivered, and in December all of Pan American’s transatlantic jet service will be with the new long-range aircraft. Pan American is the first to operate the new Boeing jet in transatlantic service.
The new 707-321 jets reduce by one hour and 20 minutes the scheduled time from Paris to New York. Present elapsed time for Pan Am’s Boeing 707-121 jets on this route is 10 hours. The new long-range jets make the flight non-stop in eight hours and 40 minutes.
Travelers leaving Frankfurt, Germany at 4:45 p.m. aboard the new jets arrive in New York at 9:10 that same evening, a saving of an hour and 40 minutes from present schedules, using piston-engined aircraft and jets.
Time saving on eastbound flights from New York to London, Paris is a half hour.
Currently, Pan American operates transatlantic jet flights to London, Paris and Rome. Beginning October 25, six additional European cities will be served by jets. They are Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Brussels, Hamburg and Copenhagen. Fourteen flights a week will serve London and extend from there to the north European cities. Ten weekly jet flights will serve Paris, with seven a week extending on to Rome.
Pan American, on August 26, inaugurated twice-weekly service between West Coast cities and London with long-range Intercontinental Jet Clippers. Transpacific service with the same type of airplane was opened on September 5 and four flights a week are now operated to Hawaii and Tokyo. Beginning October 15, the airline will increase jet roundtrips between the West Coast and Hawaii to 16 per week, seven each from San Francisco and Los Angeles, and two per week from Portland/Seattle.
System Committee to Control Jet Route Assignment Priority
To achieve optimum efficiency and complete inter-division coordination on Jet Clipper scheduling and maintenance, the Company’s jet fleet is being placed in service on a system-wide route priority basis controlled by the System Operations Committee.
Route assignment priority for jet aircraft as well as jet aircraft scheduling and maintenance procedure will be considered at meetings of the System Operations Committee, President Trippe has announced.
Mr. Trippe said that equalized service on all Boeing 707s as well as related jet engine overhaul will be performed at New York. Boeing jet airframe overhaul will be done at
Miami.	..	_ .	..	...
Meets Twice Monthly
Equalized service and engine and airframe overhaul on converted DC-7C cargo aircraft will be performed at San Francisco.
The System Operations Committee will meet twice a month to make recommendations to assist and guide man-
agement decisions. A Maintenance Subcommittee will coordinate and program jet maintenance procedures and a Scheduling Subcommittee will coordinate and program jet aircraft scheduling.
With Mr. Trippe as Chairman, the System Operations Committee has been reconstituted to include Roger Lewis, Executive Vice President—Administration, who will serve as Chairman in absence of Mr. Trippe; Wilbur Morrison, Executive Vice President—LAD; Harold Gray, Executive Vice President—AD; Robert J. Murray, Jr., Executive Vice President—PAD; Willis G. Lipscomb, Vice President, Traf-fic/Sales; Franklin Gledhill, Vice President; and John C. Leslie, Vice President and Assistant to the President.
The Maintenance Subcommittee will consist of Mr. Lewis as chairman and will include Messrs. Morrison, Gray, and Murray.
Mr. Lipscomb will serve as chairman of the Scheduling Subcommittee which also will include Messrs. Morrison, Gray, and Murray.
