As part of this expansion, four new destinations were added to Copa Airlines’ network: Toronto, Canada; Nassau, Bahamas; and Brasilia and Porto Alegre, Brazil. In addition, Copa Airlines announced it will launch new service, in December, to three new cities: Chicago, USA; Asunción, Paraguay and Cucuta, Colombia.
