Panamanian carrier Copa Airlines has submitted a formal application to Colombia’s Special Administrative Unit of Civil Aeronautics (Aerocivil) seeking authorization to launch a new direct international route connecting Panama City with the city of Montería.
This initiative aligns with the airline’s strategy to offer new flight options and boost passenger traffic to and from Colombia’s northwestern region.
According to the filing, the proposed operations are structured under third and fourth freedom traffic rights.
