From a Florida postal service company, it became the world's leading airline. In the beginning, the flying boats, then the elegant Boeing 707s and 747 Jumbos were the defining members of the fleet. Many things were carried over from shipping, so all machines bore the name Clipper. The onboard care was second to none. Comfort, luxury, a cinema and a menu that the passenger has not encountered elsewhere. Pan Am was the second most recognized brand in the world after Coca Cola. The airline was considered a pioneer not only in the air, but also on the ground. His terminal in New York, Worldport, brought unprecedented innovations, as well as his skyscraper in Manhattan, which was considered the world's largest office building. But what led to bankruptcy 30 years ago after many decades of growth? What was PanAm a world leader in? Gergely Hajdu, former pilot of Malév, tells about this.
