Copa Airlines begins non-stop service to and from San Diego (SAN) on June 25, connecting California’s southern city to Panama City, Panama (PTY). The four-times-weekly service operates Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
This flight marks Copa’s third destination in California and 17th destination in the United States, reinforcing Copa Airlines’ commitment to connecting Latin America with key U.S. cities. Last February, the airline revealed a new route between Panama City and Raleigh-Durham (RDU).
“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. 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. 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,” said Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa Airlines.
Flights depart from Tocumen International Airport at 1:16 p.m. and arrive at San Diego International Airport at 6:15 p.m. Flights leave San Diego at 8:58 p.m. and land in Panama City at 5:20 a.m.
