Pan Am is looking for aircraft aficionados to help name their first Clipper to fly under their name in a number of years. Pan Am Airways clipper names can be suggested on their website and the chosen name will be announced on June 17, 2025. 

The name will be unveiled on the fuselage prior to departure of the 12-day private jet journey with stops and included accommodations in Bermuda, Portugal, France, England and Ireland. The journey is limited to 50 people and lasts from June 16 through June 28, 2025 starting at JFK International Airport. Limited availability remains with roundtrip prices at $59,950 per person based on twin occupancy and $65,500 for single occupancy.

The Pan Am private air program is operated by Bartelings, a company specializing in worldwide tours by private aircraft, and Criterion Travel, who develop and operate tours and cruises for U.S. affinity organizations. 

Craig Carter, CEO of Pan American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands, explains that their tradition of naming their planes ‘clippers’ has been in place since the 1800s with fast sailing boats of the same name. “As we re-introduce the iconic Pan Am brand through private jet experiences, carrying on this naming tradition will both pay homage to Pan Am and provide a platform for countless individuals with connections to the storied brand to share their memories.”
