The Lockerbie crash hurt an airline
already in trouble. Passengers were scarce, Pan Am was flying empty
planes. Pan Am found itself unable to pay its employees. The only
option was sell what it still had.
Pacific routes were sold to United
Airlines, Atlantic routes were sold to Delta and American Airlines.
Finally the whole airline was sold to
Delta.
Pan Am's Worldport at JFK airport in New York was created into the
Delta Flight Center after the sale of Pan American World Airways to
Delta.
Pan Am created a plan for a
‘Restructered Pan Am” with routes in the Caribbean and South
American but after funds were depleted the plan ceased.
