When one thinks of a global airline, Turkish Airlines, American Airlines, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and many more come to mind. However, there\u2019s another player: Panama\u2019s Copa Airlines. Copa Airlines flies Boeing 737s on long-haul routes. Here\u2019s a look at just a few routes.<\/p>\n

Flying down to Uruguay<\/h2>\n

Flying from\u00a0Panama City\u2019s Tocumen International Airport (PTY)<\/a>\u00a0to Montevideo\u2019s Carrasco International Airport (MVD), this seven-hour route is the longest in Copa Airlines\u2019 route network. This route spans 3,385 miles or around 5,447 kilometers.<\/p>\n

This route can see up to two daily flights. Currently, however, it is operating on a reduced schedule a few times a week.<\/p>\n

A partner airline hub<\/h2>\n

Copa Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance. As such, it has a deep relationship with United Airlines in the United States. This partnership actually goes back to Continental Airlines, which merged with United Airlines in 2012. In fact, the partnership was so deep that Continental\u00a0(and formerly United) and Copa had very similar liveries<\/a>. Although, this is ending soon as United unveils a new livery on more and more aircraft.<\/p>\n

As for this route, the one we are referencing is 3,320 miles (5,343 kilometers) and connects a tech-hub to Panama. Flying nonstop from San Francisco (SFO) to Panama City, this route can take up to 7.5 hours.<\/p>\n

This route was actually a regular Boeing 737 MAX route before the grounding. Since then, Copa has been forced to fly a Boeing 737-800 on the route.<\/p>\n

This route is a good one that provides easy one-stop connections from Panama to a host of destinations across East Asia, where United flies to from San Francisco. In addition, the route also provides some Pacific Northwest and West Coast connectivity.<\/p>\n

Not far from Montevideo\u2026<\/h2>\n

\u2026is Buenos Aires! This is another long-haul route that spans 3,313 miles (5,331 kilometers). Copa has been flying to Buenos Aires since 1992, marking nearly 30 years of service to the Argentinian capital.<\/p>\n

This route usually clocks in between six and a half and seven hours. Copa flies to Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (EZE), which is the main international airport in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
