Discuss Article
Copa Copa (Compania Nacional Panamena de Aviacion , or Panamanian National Aviation Company ) is the national flag airline of Panama . It flies out of Tocumen International Airport in Panama City . It began flying in 1947 , with a Curtiss C-47 plane.
The airline saw its first international service in the 1970s , when services were inaugurated to cities in Jamaica ,Colombia , and Costa Rica .
The airline had stiff competition from Air Panama, until then a better known airline to the international public, until the early 1980s , but then, Copa stepped up the competition a notch, buying their first jet, a Boeing 737 , and inaugurating flights to Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico , as well as to the Dominican Republic and Miami . The Boeing 737 became a staple of the Copa fleet: It is currently the only type of airliner the airline uses.
Expansion continued during the 1990s , when Copa's 737s began to be sighted at Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina , Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile , Jose Marti International Airport in Havana, Cuba , Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru , Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City, Mexico and many other Latin American airports. The airline reached further internationalization by becoming, alongside TACA , Lacsa , Aviateca and Nica a member of an ambitious Central American airline group under the name of Grupo TACA . Each airline continued to operate under their own names.
In 1998 , Copa reached an agreement to form an alliance with Continental Airlines . Copa's fleet nowadays reflects this alliance: The liveries on their planes resemble that of Continental's.
In 2000 , Copa inaugurated services to Los Angeles , Orlando , as well as to Brazil .
The airline continued expanding in 2003 : It inaugurated a flight to JFK International Airport in New York , and announced, in August of that year, a strategic deal with Mexico 's Mexicana de Aviacion .
