Panama City, April 16, 2019
Copa Airlines, a subsidiary of Copa Holdings, S. A. {NYSE: CPA}, and Air Europa are pleased to announce a new code-share agreement that will connect their extensive route networks, enabling both airlines to better serve their passengers. The agreement will take effect on June 3, when the Spain-based Air Europa will begin service to Panama.
Under this agreement, Air Europa will add its code to Copa Airlines flights to and from San Jose, Costa Rica; Managua, Nicaragua; San Salvador, El Salvador; and Guatemala City, Guatemala. This change will enable Air Europa passengers traveling from Europe to connect more quickly and conveniently through the Hub of the Americas in Panama City. The Hub of the Americas is the largest hub for international flights in Latin America, connecting to 81 destinations in 33 countries across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean.
Thanks to this new partnership, passengers of both airlines will be able to purchase a single ticket for their trip and check their baggage through to their final destination. According to Air Europa’s Commercial Director, Imanol Pérez, “This agreement between Air Europa and Copa Airlines represents an excellent opportunity, offering benefits for anyone traveling to Spain from Panama or elsewhere in the region.”
Pérez also noted the connectivity that Copa Airlines offers with its service from Panama, adding, “Now our passengers will have access to new destinations in Latin America through the Hub of the Americas. And Copa Airlines passengers will likewise be able to connect to the 23 destinations that we serve in Spain, as well as our 15 destinations across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, thanks to the connection with Air Europa’s service to Madrid.”
Copa Airlines’ Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations and Planning, Dennis Cary, noted, “At Copa, we’re always striving to build relationships so we can offer the best possible travel experience and expand our route network for the benefit of our passengers. This new partnership with Air Europa will strengthen Copa Airlines’ presence in Spain, and it will also enhance our connectivity when it comes to domestic flights within this important country.”
As this code-share agreement illustrates, Copa Airlines continues to develop partnerships around the world in order to provide more and better travel options through the Hub of the Americas. At the same time, Copa remains steadfast in its commitment to serve its customers by continuing to be the region’s leading airline.
