Colombia has close ties with Panama. With this second daily flight to Panama City, we expect to cover the growing need of business and leisure travelers, which has increased substantially in the last three years due to favorable business conditions between both countries, commented Roberto Junguito, President of Aero Republica. In the context of ongoing regional integration, our expanded service will also benefit the Colombian market by providing more options for intra-regional travel through our vast code share agreement with Copa Airlines, he added.
Aero Republica, Colombias second-largest domestic carrier provides service to 12 cities in Colombia as well as international connectivity with Copa Airlines Hub of the Americas. Copa Holdings, through its Copa Airlines and Aero Republica operating subsidiaries, is a leading Latin American provider of passenger and cargo service.
