Copa Airlines aims to restart operations in early September
This article is a summary of reporting by Reuters. Originally published July 27, 2020.
Panama's flag carrier Copa Airlines announced an intention to resume regular flight operations in early September after months of groundings. Copa had halted all operations starting in late March 2020, becoming the first Latin American carrier to enact a full shutdown in response to the spread of COVID-19. Prolonged international travel bans and Panamanian airspace closures repeatedly pushed back the carrier's timeline for reopening. Restarting operations was viewed as a critical step toward reviving regional connectivity through the airline's Panama City hub.
