- Delta plans to move out of this terminal (the former Pan Am Worldport) on May 23. This is a CBS interview with Anthony Stramaglia who is one of the leaders of a preservation effort to save it from demolition.
What a disgrace. All the international routes Delta has nowadays is owed to the fact the Pan Am is no longer in business.
I worked for PA.
That is correct to some degree, however, United purchased the crown jewels of Pan Am's routes into LHR..
the Port Authority is ignoring iconic marbles like worldport, what a shame..
With stuff like that in California, an earthquake or two takes care of things, when people can't decide whether to tear something down. Nature does it for them. At LAX, aside from Theme Building, not much survives from the original design. Due to space constraints, they kept building things on top of one another, to achieve what we deal with today. :/
you can't just make a quake happen at will
It was because of Delta Airlines, Pan American World Airways went broke.
I think that is correct. Delta never had any intention of allowing Pan Am to emerge from bankruptcy and continue as a boutique carrier out of Miami serving Latin & South America. These routes were historically profitable, methinks.
the Port Authority is soulless and greedy.
this is very sad! I Cant belieave that they would take away something so big in avation history! If i had the money i would buy it and make it Look like it did when Pan Am was flying! I Wish they saved this Building!
Delta killed pan am now there trying to erase them
Today I have too say why the fuck would they tear this down because the new terminal that they want to build looks ugly as fuck.
American Airlines should have pulled out of JFK and given Delta Terminal 8.
American Airlines would maintain a presence at Newark and LaGuardia,
and AMR would shift most of their JFK service to Philadelphia International Airport where US Airways has a hub.That way Delta could have expanded their hub into Terminal 8 and leave the "Flying Saucer" standing!
