Copa Airlines is increasing the frequency of its flights between Guyana and Panama as the airline seeks to reinforce its role in connecting this country with over 80 destinations in the Americas via the Hub of the Americas® at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City.
In a release yesterday Copa Airlines announced that starting January 5, it has added two weekly flights, bringing the total to seven flights per week, as part of its efforts to afford its customers increased flexibility and more travel options.
The additional flights will operate on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Flight CM181 will depart Tocumen International Airport at 8:57 am, arriving at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at 1:28 pm (local time).

According to the release, these two new flights complement the five weekly flights already connecting Georgetown and Panama City.
