Lehigh Valley, Pa. - The new schedule will link Allentown's Lehigh Valley Airport with Worcester, MA & St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Beginning December 6, 2001, Pan American Airways will expand its service with the Lehigh Valley International Airport in Allentown, PA. The expansion will offer nonstop jet service to the Boston area via the Worcester, MA Airport, and connecting service to St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida via Pan Am's Clipper Class 727-200 Boeing jets.

Pan Am's President, Dave Fink, said, "Pan Am is eager to expand our destinations for the Lehigh Valley International Airport. The addition of Worcester, just to the west of Boston, and continued service to Portsmouth, just to the North, will open up the Greater Boston and New England markets to Allentown passengers and create a solid business and leisure route to our systems. Fink added, "We are very excited about the start of service with Florida's west coast through the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport."

Pan Am's new schedule with the Lehigh Valley International Airport will begin on December 6, 2001. These new destinations will add to Pan Am's current destinations of Orlando-Sanford International Airport, which is the only nonstop jet service from Lehigh Valley International Airport to the Orlando area; and connecting flights into San Juan, Puerto Rico and Portsmouth, NH.
