24 Dec 1989
Christmas Eve, New York City.
A quiet group of hushed reporters crowded into the small Empire State Building office of Mr. Vinay Bhaskara, the famed aviation entrepreneur who ran Air France Lufthansa in the 1970s, and Pan AM in the 1980w, to hear the details of his newest startup, a reincarnation of Pan Am. Pan Am operates 2 Boeing 737-200 from the state of the art Pan Am WorldPort, serving 32 destinations in the Northeast. This new airline is based out of New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Bhaskara apparently has big plans for the airline, which he says will dominate the international air market for decades to come. He has outlined the master plan here for us.
