Panama's Copa Airlines reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $169 million as international travel restrictions continued to weigh heavily on passenger demand. Despite the deficit, the carrier succeeded in significantly curbing its monthly cash burn down to roughly $6 million during the quarter. The improved cash management reflected gradual operational resumptions out of Panama City following months of paralysis. However, renewed coronavirus waves and shifting travel regulations continued to present substantial challenges for the company entering 2021.
