Trippe Announces Added Transatlantic Capacity
Pan Am Programs Designed to Ease Balance of Payments Problem
A Pan Am program in support of the voluntary effort undertaken by United States industry, at the request of the Administration, to ease the country’s balance of payments problem was outlined by Board Chairman Juan T. Trippe at the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in New York City.
^The Pan Am program will provide W 30 per cent increase over last summer in Pan Am’s transatlantic service, and will include:
New low-fare charters, at rates 36 per cent below present charter rates, offered on a large scale for residents of Western Europe, to permit more Europeans to visit the United States this summer.
Increased air service between the U.S. and Europe to offer more opportunity for U.S. citizens who wish to do so to assist in easing the payments problem by making
their transatlantic trips aboard U.S.-flag airliners.
Pan Am will increase its lift by 30 per cent over 1964, notwithstanding the fact that only a 15 per cent
Added Airlift Marks Pacific Anniversary
Pan Am will mark the 30th anniversary of the first commercial transpacific flight with a record airlift across the Pacific this Summer.
Jet Clippers will fly over 70 round trips a week, with almost 10,000 seats each way, from the West Coast to Hawaii; and 26 round trips weekly with 3,510 seats to the Orient and South Pacific.
This represents a 10 per cent increase over last year to Hawaii, 20 per cent to the South Pacific, 18 per cent to the Orient.
increase in transatlantic traffic is predicted for the 1965 season. The increased transatlantic lift is being made available by temporarily curtailing service to the Caribbean and to Honolulu, pending delivery of additional flight equipment.
The Westbound charter flights will have enough capacity to bring to the U.S. some 20,000 additional European residents, bringing the volume of travel to the U.S. more in line with the number of U.S. citizens visiting Europe.
Under the new rates, assuming all seats on a charter are filled, travelers will be able to fly roundtrip between Hamburg and New York for $181; Paris-New York, $173; or Rome-New York, $204.
It is expected most groups will remain in the U.S. three weeks or more, thereby making possible visits to the World’s Fair, the West Coast and other parts of the country.
