Pan American
Grosses $93,000,000;
In 1944 I
i
I
For 1944, the third year of war- j
time flying, the gross business of
the Pan American Airways Cor
poration amounted to $93,000,000, j
Juan T. Trippe, President, report-1
ed in the corporation’s 17th Annu-;
al report mailed to stockholders
today.
This figure comprase with $20,
600,000 and $27,300,000 respec
tively, for the last two pre-war
years of 1939 and 1940 and with
i
the record $126,000,000 reported
for 1943. Military contract serv
ices for construction abroad, ter
minating in June, dropped from
the 1943 total of $45,000,000 to
$6,900,000 in 1944. Non-military
revenues, however, increased to
$45,500,000 from the $39,400,000
reported in 1943.
Reported net income was $1,
619,309 as compared with $1,929,
764 in 1943. Reported net income,
however, does not include com
pensation earned during the year
from the carriage of mails from
the United States to Africa and to
and from Alaska. Mail rates for
these services have not yet been
fixed following resumption of
commercial service. Latin Ameri
can mail revenue included in re
ported net income is based on
rates tentatively proposed by the
Civil Aeronautics Board in a
pending proceeding. Pan Ameri
can is contesting the adequacy of
these proposed rates.
Services undertaken for the
armed forces were again greatly
expanded. Pan American is now
the largest air transport contrac
tor to the War Department and
the only such contractor to the U.
S. Navy. Under contract to the
Army and Navy, Pan American
flight crews flew 31,710,000 plane
miles during the year.
In addition, Pan American's af
filiate, China National Aviation
Corporation (CNAC) flew another
10,000,000 miles for the armed
forces in the India-Burma-China
theater. Total military and com
mercial flying for the year was
79,800,000 plane miles. Pan Amer
ican flight crews averaged 17
over-ocean flights a day through
out the year.
Reference was made in the re
port to the long-term underwriting
agreement entered into with Atlas
Corporation in December, 1044,
with respect to additional shares
to be offered to stockholders in
July, 1945. As a result it has been
possible for Pan American to
place orders for large post-war
Clippers with the Douglas, Lock
heed and Consolidated Vultee
Corporations.
While military security does
not permit a full description of
these new aircraft, the report dis
closes they will have cruising
speeds of 300 miles an hour at
sub stratosphere levels. Certain
types have a capacity of 204 trans
oceanic passengers in addition to
mail and cargo. Other units will
carry 128 passengers.
During the year transport serv
ices were conducted to 57 coun-;
tries, possessions and colonies, to
every continent and over all major
ocean routes. In addition to tem
porary war-time transport serv
ices maintained for the armed
forces the Pan American World
Air ways System operated 80,593
of the 98,582 route miles operated
commercially before Pearl Harbor. 1
Establishing new high records in
all categories of traffic in 1944,
Pan American carried 750,000 pas
sengers, covered 791,000,000 pas
senger miles and transported 128,
800,000 pounds of air cargo.
