Copa’s
fleet, one of the youngest in the Americas, now includes 40
aircraft
PANAMA,
June 9, 2008 - Copa
Airlines,
subsidiary of Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE: CPA), today announced it has taken
delivery of a new Boeing 737-800 aircraft, the seventh 800 series aircraft
in
its fleet. Copa’s fleet, which now consists of 27 Boeing 737 Next Generation
aircraft and 13 Embraer-190 aircraft, is one of the youngest in the Americas,
with an average age of 3.9 years.
The
Boeing 737-800 is the largest airplane in Copa’s fleet, with seating capacity
for 160 passengers -- 16 in Business Class (Clase
Ejecutiva)
and 144
in the main cabin. The comfortable aircraft has a spacious interior, with large
overhead compartments, reclining seats with headrests and a 12-channel
audio-video entertainment system.
“The
Boeing 737 not only allows us to increase our capacity and reach, but its
high-tech features such as ‘winglets’ help us save on fuel and reduce airport
noise levels,” said Pedro Heilbron, CEO of Copa Airlines. “Our investment in
technology, our extensive route network, and our excellent service make Copa
Airlines the best option for intra-Latin America travel.”
