Copa Airlines plans to expand its fleet by more than 100 737 MAX airplanes between this agreement and its existing order book. The carrier will leverage the efficiency, range and capacity of its larger 737 MAX fleet to modernize and expand its network from its Hub of the Americas to fly to popular destinations across the Americas and Caribbean.
The versatility and reliability of the 737-9 and 737-8 airplanes enable Copa Airlines to fly high-density shorter flights and some of the world’s longest 737 MAX routes, connecting Panama with North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. The longtime 737 operator connects 88 destinations in 32 countries across North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
According to Boeing’s Commercial Market Outlook, airlines throughout the Latin American and Caribbean markets will need more than 2,300 new airplanes over the next 20 years – with single-aisle jets like the 737 MAX making up nearly 90% of deliveries.
