The Panamanian flag carrier, Copa Airlines, is set to resume its aerial connectivity with the Venezuelan cities of Valencia and Barquisimeto during the months of April and May.

Barquisimeto Joins the Network in May
The route to Barquisimeto will begin operations on May 4. Unlike the Valencia service, this destination will initially feature three weekly frequencies, scheduled for Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Operations to the capital of the state of Lara will be conducted using Boeing 737-700 aircraft. The schedules are:
