maybe.

It’s been announced that the Pan Am name is being resurrected (again for the 5th time) for an airline that plans to base itself from Brownsville, TX and which will fly to Latin American destinations initially as a cargo airline.

This won’t be the first time for Pan Am to stage flights from Brownsville either.  The original Pan Am flew flights to Latin America via Brownsville in its heyday.

Company president, Robert Hedrick, says their first flight will be to Monterrey, Mexico. 

I find this plan a bit weird, myself.  Brownsville is a large port for international goods but it isn’t a very strategic location for international flights to Latin America.  Not anymore, anyways. 

It might work as a cargo location, it won’t work as a passenger hub.  So, for those of you waiting for another glory era of Pan Am, I would suggest you not get too excited about this one.
