“During the month of the pink and blue ribbon, Copa Airlines joins this and other awareness initiatives to raise the message among our passengers and customers, with the aim of creating awareness around the early detection of a disease that affects millions of people each year. We want to take this message to each of the countries that make up the Hub of the Americas,” said Ivette Franco, Director of Legal Counsel for the airline.

For 19 years, Copa Airlines has been part of the prevention campaigns promoted by the Office of the First Lady of the Republic, currently chaired by Mrs. Yazmín Colón de Cortizo. This year, the airline joins the campaign Joining Forces Against Cancer, with the aim of bringing a message of prevention to all corners of Panama, and now expands to the entire continent.
