Copa Holdings, S.a.

A Panama-based airline holding company that runs Copa Airlines, the flag carrier of Panama, plus Copa Airlines Colombia. Copa's name comes from its original Spanish title, Compañía Panameña de Aviación, and it was founded in 1944 with help from Pan American World Airways, starting domestic flights in 1947. Today it flies to dozens of cities across the Americas from its hub at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, nicknamed the "Hub of the Americas" for its fast connections between North and South America.
