Transatlantic Cargo Hits Peak Volume in First Nine Months
A record total of more than six thousand tons of cargo was carried by Pan American Airways across the Atlantic during the first nine months of 1960.
Pan American’s transatlantic cargo between January 1 and September 30 this year exceeded by 45.9 per cent the volume carried during the same period in 1959.
For the January-to-September months of this year, Pan American’s Westbound cargo totaled 6,631,460 pounds and Eastbound cargo reached 6,212,140 pounds.
Pan American’s transatlantic cargo totals in nine months of this year have equalled those for the entire 12 months of 1959, with the peak year-end months of 1960 still to come.
On November 10 Pan Am inaugurated the first direct allcargo service linking U. S. markets with the Middle East’s.
Three all-cargo DC-7F flights a week from New York terminate in Beirut, Lebanon, under the new schedule which increases Pan American’s all-cargo services from New York to 10 a week. The Beirut flights will leave Idlewild at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
In addition, Pan Am’s scheduled all-cargo services now reach Paris, Rome, Glasgow, London, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich and Vienna, Ankara, and Amsterdam from New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Boston. Also, all-cargo flights from the West Coast serve Hawaii, Japan, and Central America.
Pan American also provides up to five tons of cargo capacity on each of its Jet Clippers, now serving 68 destinations around the world. RCU
