Pan American World Airways and technology provider Amadeus have signed a letter of agreement to support the return of the iconic carrier to scheduled service.

The renewed Pan Am has selected Amadeus as its strategic technology partner to power the airline’s comeback and support its vision for modern, customer-centric air travel.

With Amadeus’ integrated IT solutions, Pan Am will be equipped to deliver a premium retail experience, while ensuring reliable, efficient operations for its customers.

The carrier is scheduling its return to the skies and working on the official launch of Pan Am, subject to all U.S. FAA and DOT certifications and approvals.

Amadeus will serve as the backbone of its core passenger and operational capabilities – supporting everything from seamless booking and inventory management to day-of-travel services.

Pan Am has also selected Amadeus as its distribution partner and will leverage both NDC and traditional sourcing technologies to maximize visibility and reach across global sales channels.

Pan Am is widely regarded as the airline that defined the golden age of jet travel, reaching its peak in the 1960s as the world’s most prestigious international carrier.

Synonymous with white-glove service and jet-set style aboard the Boeing 707 and 747, the brand transformed flying into a symbol of modern luxury and global connectivity.

“Pan Am is more than a brand – it is the most iconic name in commercial aviation history, and its return must be powered by best‑in‑class technology.

“Partnering with Amadeus provides a world‑class foundation to build a modern, competitive, customer‑focused airline that honours Pan Am’s legacy while delivering the innovation and reliability today’s travellers expect,” said Ed Wegel, chief executive, Pan American World Airways.
