Copa Airlines and Boeing sign order for 61 Boeing 767s

Copa Airlines and Boeing announced an order for 61 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 airplanes. The order, valued at US$6.6bn at list prices, is the largest commercial transaction ever between a Panamanian and a U.S.-based company. Copa Airlines will use the airplanes to replace existing airplanes and support the carrier’s plans for strategic growth. Copa will be the first airline in the region to operate the 737 MAX 9 on deep South American routes. The 737 MAX 9’s range and passenger comfort are ideally suited to Copa’s long-haul route network.
