Remembering Pan Am’s Internal German Service
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0
It’s time for another post about the 1980s thanks to SkyGo’s schedule data, but this one actually begins much earlier. Today I want to talk about Pan Am, but more specifically, Pan Am’s famed Internal German Service (IGS).



Why am I writing about this? Well, I was busy playing around looking at the data when I came across something that surprised me. In 1980, Pan Am had more domestic flights in West Germany than it did in the US. Just let that sink in.
