In November 2010, Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia started the integration process as future members of Star Alliance, providing considerable coverage of Central and South America and the Caribbean.

The decision to include Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia in Star Alliance reinforces the solid strategic and commercial alliance we have held with our main partner, United-Continental.
