Globally, the airline expands its network to 88 destinations in 32 countries across the Americas and the Caribbean.
Pedro Heilbron, CEO of Copa Airlines, emphasized the importance of this expansion: “We remain steadfast in our mission to shorten distances and facilitate connections, ensuring Panama continues to be the bridge that unites thousands of people across the continent. The expansion of our network in Argentina strengthens tourism and business ties between our countries.”
