Editing Pan Am (section)

==Reuse of name==
Aside from the aforementioned flight academy, the Pan Am brand has been resurrected four times since 1991, but the reincarnations were related to the original Pan Am in name only.

===Airlines===
Pan American World Airways trademarks and some assets were purchased by Eclipse Holdings, Inc., at an auction by the US Bankruptcy Court on December 2–3, 1993. The scheduled airline rights were sold to Pan American Airways on December 20–29, 1993, by Eclipse Holdings, which was to retain the Pan Am charter rights and operate through its subsidiary, Pan Am Charters, Inc., now Airways Corporation.<ref name="Aftermath">''Aviation News (Pan American Airways: Part 2 – Down ... but not quite out)'', p. 53, Key Publishing, Stamford, November 2011</ref>

[[Pan Am (1996-1998)|The first reincarnation of the original Pan Am]] operated from 1996 to 1998, with a focus on low-cost, long-distance flights between the United States and the [[Caribbean]] with the [[IATA airline designator]] ''PN''.<ref name="Aftermath"/> Eclipse Holdings (Pan Am II) later rescinded the Asset Purchase Agreement for cause and issued a cease and desist in January 1996, affecting all downstream transactions thereafter (as noted in US DOT proceeding OST-99-5945, and SEC 10-Q dated August 24, 1997, Plan of Reorganization (S.D. FL), and others).<ref>{{cite web|title=Order 99-8-15|url=http://docketsinfo.dot.gov/general/orders/19993qtr/aug99/990815.pdf|publisher=United States Department of Transportation|access-date=July 27, 2015|date=August 19, 1999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210204602/http://docketsinfo.dot.gov/general/orders/19993qtr/aug99/990815.pdf|archive-date=December 10, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Pan Am (1998-2004)|The second]] was unrelated to the first and was a small regional carrier based in [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire]], which operated between 1998 and 2004. It found its niche in operating usually at smaller airports near major ones, such as [[Portsmouth International Airport at Pease|Pease International (Portsmouth)]], and [[Gary/Chicago International Airport|Gary Municipal Airport]] in [[Indiana]]. It used the [[International Air Transport Association|IATA]] code ''PA'', and the [[International Civil Aviation Organization|ICAO]] code ''PAA''.<ref name="Aftermath"/>

[[Boston-Maine Airways]], a sister company of the second reincarnation, operated the "Pan Am Clipper Connection" brand from 2004 to February 2008. A domestic airline in the Dominican Republic, descended from the company's first reincarnation, traded until March 23, 2012, as [[Pan Am Dominicana]].<ref name="Aftermath"/>
