Georgetown: The Panamanian based Copa Airlines announced from July, 2014 they will begin service between Guyana and Panama.
The airline will initially offer twice weekly service between Guyana and Panama. Passengers will be able to book connecting flights to other Copa destinations including New York, Miami, Washington, Los Angelas, Las Vegas and a number of other U.S Cities. Additionally, connecting flights to Toronto, Canada and Mexico will be offered.
Copa Airlines also flies to several destinations across the Caribbean and South America.
The Government of Guyana as part of the agreement to have the airline serve this market has decided to offer 90 days visa waivers for citizens of Panama, Peru and Costa Rica. Citizens of those countries will now be able to visit Guyana without a visa and spend up to 90 days in the country once approved by immigration.
The Guyana Government believes the move will strengthen ties between Guyana and other countries in Latin America while at the same time providing affordable air links to destinations across North and South America and Latin America.
The airline currently operates over 300 daily scheduled flights to 65 destinations in 29 countries in North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. It is also the main operator and owner of Colombian airline AeroRepublica, currently known as Copa Airlines Colombia.
