Pan Am Says It’s Close to Forming Alliance: The Miami-based carrier is trying to resurrect itself four years after its collapse. It said it is working on agreements with Viasa of Venezuela, Icelandair, Royal Jordanian, Cayman Airways, APA International of the Dominican Republic, Egyptair, Air Ukraine and Taesa of Mexico. Pan American World Airways Inc. said it hopes to begin flying this summer, offering low-fare domestic flights and overseas connections with members of the alliance. The airlines would effect marketing partnerships and coordinate schedules.
