With the take-over of Ransome Airlines in 1987 Pan Am built up a regional
airline company called Pan Am Express which also opened regular services in
Berlin. At first 2 ATR 42 were used to Berlin (later 4). In the year
1991 Pan Am Express ended the service in Berlin.
ATR 42 Pan Am Express registration N4203G was used to Tegel and Tempelhof
from 1988.
The ATR42 is built by AVIONS DE TRANSPORT RÉGIONAL a joint company of
Aérospatiale (France) and Aeritalia (Italy). The aircraft is a high-wing twin-
turboprop transport aircraft embodying a number of advanced technology
features in the fields of aerodynamics, structures and equipment. Basic
design targets were good economy, a high level of field performance, CAT II
instrument landing capability, and a wide-body standard of comfort. The cabin
is fully pressurised and provides 4 abreast seating for typically 50 passengers.
The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120 gas turbine engines.
The ATR42 made it's first flight in August 1984.

VISIT FS BERLIN www.fs-berlin.da.ru
The main theme of our webside is the Microsoft flight simulator (FS98/ FS2000/
FS2002) with special regards to Berlin airports - specially to Tempelhof
Central Airport but also to Gatow and Tegel). We will cover the period from
1945 until about 1990, that is, when the west part of Berlin was surrounded
by The Wall and when these airports stood under the command of the west allied
air forces (US Air Force, Royal Air Force and French Air Force). Along with the
world-famous Berlin Airlift this is probably the most exciting period in the
history of these airports.
We want to collect as many aircraft models as possible of such original
airplanes which landed on West-Berlin airports (in this period) and list
them in a comprehensive archive. And we want to repaint such aircraft models
and offer them for downloading.
