On April 22, 1985, United Airlines announced its acquisition of Pan Am’s Pacific division for $750 million, inheriting a network that made up 25% of Pan Am’s operations, along with a fleet of wide-body aircraft and 2,700 employees. This marked a major strategic shift, giving United long-sought access to East Asia and the South Pacific, while Pan Am aimed to bolster its Atlantic presence. The sale was finalized in February 1986, symbolizing the beginning of Pan Am’s decline, which ended with its closure in 1991.
