Copa Airlines

Brief History
Copa Airlines was founded in 1947 by a group of Panamanian investors and Pan American World Airways, which provided technical and economic support along with capital. Initially, Copa operated flights to three domestic destinations in Panama using a fleet of three Douglas C-47 aircraft. In the 1960s, the airline expanded its services internationally with three weekly flights to cities in Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Colombia, utilizing a small fleet of Avro 748s and Electra 188s. In 1971, Pan American World Airways divested its ownership in Copa to a group of Panamanian investors who maintained control of the airline until 1986. Throughout the 1980s, Copa Airlines ceased its domestic operations to concentrate on its international routes.
