The iconic airline brand of Pan American Airways (Pan Am) is set to return – at least to air cargo markets – next year, reports IFW. Pan Am and sister company World-Wide Consolidated Logistics have opened a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) certified cargo screening facility in the US, at Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport in Texas. From its Brownsville base, Pan Am claimed, it can offer shorter transits compared with flights out of Miami, Houston and Dallas. It plans 70 cargo flights a month to Latin America in 2011. Services to Africa, as well as passenger routes, are also in the pipeline. Pan Am was the principal US international air carrier from the late 1920s until its collapse in December 1991.
