Pan Am IGS Internal German Service FACTS COVER rsz

A RECAP OF IGS OPERATIONS FROM 1984

 

Pan Am's Internal German Service was an airline within an airline and proved to be a great success when Germany was still divided during the Cold War. It also enabled German travelers to connect with other Pan Am destinations in Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia.

“Pan Am, an International Airline, takes its responsibility in the IGS very seriously. The 1984 schedule reliability was 99.1%. Of course sometimes a flight has to be cancelled due to bad weather or a technical problem.

Pan Am operates additional flights beside its schedule, e. g. during congresses in Berlin and the peak months and other events if required. 1,407 extra flights were performed in 1984.

The On-Time performance of the Internal German Service in 1984 was 91.8%.

In April 1985 Pan Am will introduce the first wide body aircraft in the IGS, the Airbus A 310-200 with 18 Clipper and 207 Economy Class seats. The Airbus is scheduled to serve Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart. This will increase Pan Am’s daily IGS seating capacity on weekdays by 3342 seats (42.9%).

In the past 39 years Pan Am has carried 56,110,625 passengers in the IGS. It started with a Douglas DC-4 aircraft, over to a Douglas DC-6 B, the Boeing 727-100 and 727-200, the Boeing 737-200 to one of today’s most advanced aircraft the Airbus 310-200.”
