According to Hedrick, the new airline will offer 70 Flights each month fromBrownsville to various Latin American destinations. Rio de Janeiro will be a key destination in preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games. The air service will begin with Cargo flights. Passenger service will follow.
The new Pan American Airways will be headquartered in the original PanAmerican Airways Building, which was home to the first Pan Am for more that 30 years. Former Pan Am employees from the 1930, 40 and 50ʼs eras will be honored at the rededication ceremony.
The airlineʼs future plans call for developing a southern route to Africa with service to such key cities as Johannesburg and Cape Verdi. Offering scheduled service to this part of the world, over a southern route, will be a first in aviation history. Other airlines fly north Atlantic routes.
Brownsville is known as the crossroads of the hemisphere and the new airline president thinks it is the perfect location from which to re-launch the original Gateway to Latin America. Hedrick and his staff have been preparing for their grand opening for more than two years. “I want to thank all the communities in south Texas and northern Mexico which have welcomed us with open arms”, Hedrick said.
