Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, computerized reservation systems and off-Earth service. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association. Identified by its blue globe logo, the use of the word "Clipper" in aircraft names and call signs, and the white pilot uniform caps, the airline is a cultural icon of the 20th century

| - Pan American Spaceways, commonly known as Pan Am, is the principal and largest international air and Low Eath Orbit carrier in the United States. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, computerized reservation systems and off-Earth service. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association. Identified by its blue globe logo, the use of the word "Clipper" in aircraft names and call signs, and the white pilot uniform caps, the airline is a cultural icon of the 20th century. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority government-owned, it is also the unofficial flag carrier of the United States. Pan Am's flagship terminal is the Worldport located at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York and its space operations are located in Nixon City on the moon.
