Copa Airlines, the national airline of Panama based out of Panama City’s Tocumen Airport, has announced an order for two additional new Boeing 737 aircraft, which will increase their current order to nine new jets. The expanding airline currently offers nonstop flights between Panama City and locations in the United States including Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Orlando. Copa Airlines serves a total of 22 countries in North, Central and South America, as well as the Carribean. The airline’s fleet currently has forty aircraft total, twenty seven of which are Boeing 737s.
Copa’s continuing growth is good news for investors, as it now has one of the youngest fleets in the Americas. As Copa Airlines begin to offer new routes and more frequent flights on existing routes, Panama City will continue to increase in prominence as a Latin American transportation hub.
