This restart leaves the company just two destinations away from completing the full restoration of its historical presence in the Venezuelan market, where it has built a 29-year track record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Roberto Pulido, General Manager of Copa Airlines in Venezuela, resuming operations in Valencia is a key milestone due to the city\u2019s strategic location. Pulido highlighted that this expansion brings the company closer to the goal of full operational recovery that had been projected for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/02\/copa-airlines-panama-stopover-surpasses-200000-visitors-in-2025-consolidating-hub-of-the-americas-as-a-tourism-engine.html\">Copa Airlines\u2019 Panama Stopover Surpasses 200,000 Visitors in 2025, Consolidating Hub of the Americas as a Tourism Engine<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequencies and Growth Projections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since April 4, the airline has offered five weekly flights, operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Arturo Michelena International Airport (VLN).
