NEW ROUTESCopa Airlines is happy to announce plans to increase daily flight frequencies to several countries in its extensive route network and begin new four times weekly services from Panama City to three new destinations: Toronto, Canada; Porto Alegre, Brazil; and Nassau, Bahamas. The new flights and expanded services will operate from June 2011 giving the airline a network which includes 55 destinations in 27 countries on the American continent and a total of 180 daily flights from the Hub of the Americas at Tocumen Airport in Panama City, Panama.
"Thanks to these new destinations and the increase in frequencies from our Hub of the Americas in Panama City, Copa Airlines continues to expand its coverage and reaffirm its leadership in Latin America and the Caribbean," said Pedro Heilbron, CEO. "Copa offers flights to more international destinations than any other airline from any other hub in the Region." "The Hub of the Americas continues to be the most efficient and convenient connection point on the continent," Heilbron added. "The increase in flight frequencies will allow us to significantly improve our daily arrival and departure schedules to offer better connectivity, more flight options and more frequent connections throughout the day. In fact some destination will now have up to six daily frequencies."
In 2010 Copa Airlines transported more than 5.2 million passengers via the region's most complete route network through the Hub of the Americas.
MORE FREQUENCIES
The arrival of 10 new Boeing 737-800 aircraft in 2011 will signal even greater growth. In addition to the four-times-a-week flights to its three new destinations, Toronto, Porto Alegre and Nassau Copa will increase frequencies on the following flights:
Panama to:
Lima, Peru
Orlando, Florida
Miami, Florida
Bogota, Colombia
Santiago, Chile
From the U.S., Copa Airlines currently offers nonstop services to Panama from Miami, New York City (JFK), Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. (Dulles), and Orlando.
