Pan American World Airways co-founder Ed Wegel said the new iteration of the iconic carrier would operate with Airbus A320neo aircraft “at some point in the future, when the supply chain issues and engine issues are resolved.” Pan American Global Holdings acquired the Pan Am brand in 2023. It is working with AVi8 Air Capital to initiate a certification process in the United States, securing a Part 121 scheduled carrier and resurrecting the brand, which went out of business in 1991.
