Why These 3 Iconic Airlines Disappeared From The Skies | Rise And Fall | Insider Business
Fun fact: You are not here to know why 3 iconic airlines disappeared from the skies.
PanAm was an airline. Hooters Air was an airline. The Concorde was an *aircraft*, flown by Air France and British Airways, who still fly today.
Concorde wasn't an Airline, it was operated by British Airways and Air France, which are very much still in business
The Pan-Am swag was real. My buddy's uncle was a retired Pan-AM 747 pilot. He was so proud of his service with them, and was living the high life in retirement.
I rode on hooters air when I was 12 years old, with my brother and father. It was quite an experience lol.
It was sad to see Pan Am go bankrupt.
I handled Hooters Air in Las Vegas. They really weren’t an airline. The flying was done by Pace Air and they had traditional flight attendants onboard. The Hooters Girls onboard were not crew members all they did was sell merchandise onboard. It was a public charter . Pace was inept and I remember they had no procedures in place when they left someone’s wheelchair behind and they didn’t want to get a loaner for the customer.
I flew NYC to London on Pan Am two days after the Locherbie bombing (December 23, 1988) on flight 102, the "sister flight" to 103. To say that folks were tense was an understatement. The only time I ever heard a whole 747 full of people break into applause upon landing. One week later I was on Pan Am flight 103 coming back (they might have renumbered the flight by that point, but it was the same timing/route).
The part where he says, ' even the bad ones feel good.... because I'm still here!"... Now that hits a spot!! ❤ I don't know what but, I feel for him😢
I had just landed at JFK having flown Pan Am from London. I had about 3 hours before my next flight. I double-checked the gate and departure time and went and got something to eat. When I was done eating, I headed to the gate to hang out. Bit later, they started making the usual boarding will be starting soon messages then not even 5 minutes after that, there was a rush of staff to the gate and all this harried whispering and then a lady made the announcement that the flight was cancelled and there would be no other flights to move us on to. She started crying, and all I could pick out was the words "shutting down". Everyone was stunned silent then this oddly organized chaos ensued as we all started yelling questions and trying to understand what happened. It took two days, but I was eventually able to get on a Delta flight back to home. Was crazy and heartbreaking; I really liked flying Pan Am. Coincidentally ... earlier that year, three hours after I landed in Miami having flown Eastern Airlines, Eastern Airlines shut down.
So does BI not know the difference between airlines and aircraft?
Interesting video. I didnt know about Hooters Air and I enjoyed the Pan Am section. However, the Concorde section should have not been included in this "...3 airlines disappeared..." video. TWA should have been included as they disappeared in the 2000s and they were fairly popular.
What an excellent video!
As someone who lives in South Carolina, I gotta appreciate bob for making myrtle beach a tourist attraction. It’s a nice place, well during the day. 💀
Actually source of shutdown of Concorde was caused by EADS/Airbus raised the maintenance costs to an unsupportable level. Rumor was Air France couldn't make money on its routes where BA were. Maintenance costs are a hidden factor, watch how quickly the A380 goes away as parts become harder to source/cost increases
Fun fact the pan am’s first flight around the world was on accident as the plane could not get home after Japan did the whole Pearl Harbor incident
Thank you for this informative video. Seems like Hooters has gradually become less known in these types of airlines.
Pan Am, and concord were a head of there time and the market, totally would love to see Pan Am, and the concord or modern day version of it come back.
So sad that Pan Am folded. I’m from a tiny village in the Scottish highlands and one of our teachers, (I was 11 and in primary school), had family in Lockerbie. Blaming Pan Am was unfair - the CIA knew far more about the plan to bomb the aircraft and had withheld that information. Also, calling Concorde an airline…wtf? It was an aircraft and was built by France and Britain and operated by British Air and Air France…..both of which are still massive airlines. Researchers really dropped a bollock on this piece.
Ah yes, my favorite airline, Concorde
