Copa Airlines
COPA Airlines is the official airline of the South American nation of Panama. COPA stands for Compania Panamena de Aviacion (Panamanian Aviation Company). The airline was founded in 1937 with large financial assistance from Pan American, a larger American aviation company. Shortly after the company was founded, it was found to be in direct competition with the then most important aviation company in the nation of Panama, Air Panama. Copa Airlines continued to provide consistent and professional service and made it thorough the fire with some financial assistance from Pan American along the way.

Copa Airlines is headquartered in Panama City, Panama and it operates out of a nearby airport called Tocumen International Airport. The airline operates with a fleet of over 40 planes (some still in the works) and over 35 destinations all over North and South America and the nations of the Caribbean Islands, including service from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Kingston, Jamaica.

Copa Airlines flights take off from cities all over the United States and South America, offering people with a lower cost option to take when traveling into or out of these areas. South America is a market that is often left a bit more untouched than others, and Copa Airlines being a Panamian Airline falls perfectly into this niche.

These days, Copa Airlines has service in areas closer to you than you might think. If you live in or near Los Angeles, California or Orlando, Florida, you are able to book a Copa Airlines reservation for your next trip.

These days, Copa Airlines and Continental Airlines are very much ‘in cahoots’ so to speak. For this reason, Copa Airlines has even adopted a plain, sensible style of livery similar to theirs; Continental has a bit less than fifty percent ownership in Copa Airlines as a business entity.
