COPA
AIRLINES TAKES DELIVERY OF 11TH EMBRAER 190 AIRCRAFT
Copa’s
fleet, one of the youngest in the industry, now totals 37 aircraft
Panama,
Nov. 14, 2007 -- Copa
Airlines, a subsidiary of Copa Holdings SA (NYSE: CPA), has taken delivery
of
its 11th EMBRAER 190 aircraft. The Panama-based airline now has 37 aircraft
in
its fleet.
“The
EMBRAER 190 is a comfortable high-tech aircraft that allows us greater
flexibility to balance capacity and demand in smaller markets that are
served
more efficiently with a 94-seat aircraft,” said Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa
Airlines.
EMBRAER
190 aircraft are equipped with advanced engineering design elements, including
“winglets” (wingtip extensions) and high-performance GE CF34-E5 engines. The
aircraft has seating for 10 passengers in Business Class (Clase Ejecutiva)
and
84 in Coach. The Coach cabin is configured with two seats on each side
of the
aisle and no middle seat.
Copa
Airlines has one of the youngest fleets in the Americas, with an average
age of
3.7 years. In addition to its 11 EMBRAER aircraft, Copa operates 26 Boeing
737
Next Generation jets.
