86.91.97.181
Hello,Lorenzo.If it's a "secret deal",then how did you get the information?as far as the story you told,well,I don't believe a word of it.Why would a well known New Zealand carrier,which is likely well trusted by a steady stream of customers over the years,want to change it's name to the name of a carrier,which was plagued with bad luck,and mismanagement,causing it to go bankrupt many years ago??Don't get me wrong,I would love to see the Clippers,and blue ball fly the skies again,but if your story is true,then it's likely bye bye to another big airline...furthermore,the name Pan Am,as in Pan American,wouldn't really fit an airline based in New Zealand,now would it??Greetings.
