Editing Pan Am (section)

====US East coast shuttle====
In an attempt to gain a presence on the busy [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]]–New York–Boston commuter air corridor, the [[Ransome Airlines|Ransome]] acquisition was accompanied by the $100&nbsp;million purchase of [[New York Air]]'s shuttle service between Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. This parallel move was intended to enable Pan Am to provide a high-frequency service for high-[[Yield management#Airlines|yield]] business travelers in direct competition with the long-established, successful [[Eastern Air Lines Shuttle]] operation. The renamed [[Delta Shuttle|Pan Am Shuttle]] began operating out of LaGuardia Airport's refurbished historic [[Marine Air Terminal]] in October 1986. However, it did not address the pressing issue of Pan Am's continuing lack of a strong domestic feeder network.<ref name="National_disaster"/>
