Panama-Venezuela flights resume

The on-off relationship between Panama and  Venezuela is on again with the take-off of a Copa Airlines flight on Tuesday, May 1 from Tocumen International Airport.

Flights had been suspended following an April 6 decree by the Venezuelan Government in the midst of a diplomatic crisis between the two nations that ended last week.

“Today, very happy, we resumed our operations to #Venezuela”, the airline wrote on its Twitter account.

Copa announced last Friday that operations to Venezuela would resume on May 1   starting with flights to of Caracas and Valencia.

Flights to the city of Maracaibo will be reactivated from May 17 as well as more frequencies to the three cities in the following weeks.
