Copa Airlines To Offer Panama City-San Diego Flights This Summer

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diegans will be able to travel directly to Panama City, Panama, this summer.

Starting June 25, Copa Airlines will offer nonstop flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays between San Diego International Airport and Tocumen International Airport in Panama City.

"The launch of this new route strengthens our destination network and expands travel options for our passengers, reaffirming Copa's commitment to efficiency, punctuality, and the high service standards that set us apart," Copa Airlines CEO Pedro Heilbron said in a statement.

San Diego will be Copa's third destination in California and its 17th U.S. route.

"With the addition of San Diego, we enhance connectivity between Southern California and Central America, South America and the Caribbean, fostering tourism and commercial exchange across the continent," Heilbron said. "This new connection will allow more travelers to comfortably and reliably access one of the most dynamic cities in the United States while integrating them into Latin America's most extensive route network through the Hub of the Americas in Panama."
