Copa Airlines Increases B737-800 Order

Adds Four Planes To Original Contract

Copa Airlines and Boeing announced Wednesday Copa's firm order for four Boeing 737-800 Next-Generation aircraft for delivery within the next three years.

Copa now has increased its orders for Boeing 737 aircraft from nine to 13, with options for future orders.

"These additional aircraft will enable Copa to continue strengthening its leadership position in the Latin American airline industry, as well as provide our passengers an attractive product and a highly efficient aircraft," said Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa Airlines. "Our fleet plan is flexible, allowing us to replace aircraft as their leases expire or to support additional growth."

Copa's current fleet consists of 42 aircraft, 27 737s and 15 Embraer 190s. The Boeing 737-800 seats 160 passengers, 16 in Executive Class and 144 in the main cabin.
