“The launch of our San Diego route marks a significant milestone in solidifying our connectivity on the West Coast of the United States. This new destination not only broadens the geographic reach of our operations, but also reinforces our role as a bridge between Latin America and strategic regions across the continent through the Hub of the Americas®. In addition to meeting growing demand for business, academic, and leisure travel to Southern California, this route also opens new opportunities for travelers to discover the wonders of our country through the Panama Stopover program,” said Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa Airlines.
