COPA Airlines will on Monday mark two years since it began serving the Guyana market with direct flights to Panama. In a press statement, the airline noted that increased demand for its service saw the addition of two more flights per week last October, bringing the total number of flights per week to four.
“This move was also in keeping with COPA’s commitment to increase its services to the Guyanese people,” the airline stated.
In the past two years, the airline said it has been able to expand its service and strengthen its partnership with a number of individuals and groups in the country.
“The journey has been an exciting one over the last two years. We have been able to successfully expand our service to reach a wide cross-section of persons travelling to the beautiful country of Guyana and other 73 destinations in 31 countries,” said Diego Bermudez Parra, Regional Sales Director.
Copa stated that it has been working to strengthen social partnerships in Guyana over the past two years. This has seen the airline providing support to a number of persons and groups ranging from sports personalities to those involved in culture and the arts.
“We have made it possible for Guyanese sportsmen and women to travel to a number of countries to represent Guyana while facilitating air travel for others to come to the country for musical and cultural performances.
Just recently, the airline facilitated air travel to Guyana for a Mexican Mariachi Band that staged a performance for the country’s 50th Independence Anniversary,” said Guyana Sales Manager Nadine Oudkerk.
