Delta Aces Its Rivals
</hdr><body>
<p> After a marathon bidding session for the prime pieces of the
bankrupt Pan Am, the spoils went last week to the most low-profile
of the Big Three U.S. carriers: Delta. The Atlanta-based airline
bested its rivals with a $1.7 billion bid for assets that will put
Delta on a par with megacarriers American and United. Delta will
acquire Pan Am's Northeastern shuttle, its North Atlantic routes
and the airline's strategic hub in Frankfurt. Pan Am will survive
as a shadow of its once mighty self, providing service to the
Caribbean and Latin America. But Delta will have a piece of that
action too, owning 45% of the scaled-down Pan Am.
