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.
