COPA
AIRLINES RECEIVES DELIVERY OF BOEING 737-800
AIRCRAFT
Copa’s
fleet of 36 aircraft is one of the youngest in the Americas
PANAMA
CITY, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Copa Airlines, a subsidiary of
Copa
Holdings S.A. (NYSE: CPA), received delivery today of a Boeing 737-800
aircraft.
Copa's fleet now consists of 26 Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft and
10
EMBRAER-190 aircraft. Copa Airlines has one of the youngest fleets in
the
Americas, with an average age of 3.7 years.
Copa
will
operate the Boeing aircraft on long-distance routes between its Hub of
the
Americas in Panama and various Latin American and U.S.
destinations.
"The
Boeing 737 not only allows us to increase capacity and range, its advanced
technology features such as blended winglets help us save on fuel and
reduce
engine maintenance costs," said Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa Airlines. "Our
investment in technology and onboard comfort, along with our excellent
service,
make Copa Airlines the best travel option in the Americas."
The
Boeing 737-800 is the largest airplane in Copa's fleet, configured for
155
passengers -- 14 in Executive Class and 141 in the main cabin. The comfortable
aircraft has a spacious interior, large overhead luggage compartments,
seats
with adjustable headrests, and a 12-channel audio/video entertainment
system.
In
May,
Copa placed an order for four Boeing 737-800s for delivery in 2011 and
2012.
That order increased the airline's outstanding Boeing 737 Next Generation
orders
from six to 10, with options for additional orders.
