History

Historical Context

In October 1960 Pan Am began the first nonstop jet service between New York and Paris, following BOAC’s 1958 Comet 4 transatlantic jet launch and ushering regular jet crossings of the Atlantic. That breakthrough paved the way for the market’s expansion to 44 million seats in 2015, with joint-venture carriers now controlling roughly 75% of transatlantic capacity, a trend that drives today’s U.S. airline route growth.
