Copa Airlines  reactivates B737 MAX9 aircraft

Copa Airlines received authorization for 21 aircraft that had been temporarily suspended, following the Airworthiness Directive issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to complete the rigorous inspection process required and return to operating.

The inspections were carried out by professional technicians from Copa Airlines, with the supervision of the Civil Aviation Authority (AAC) of Panama.

Copa Airlines will be gradually reactivating, starting today, Thursday, January 25, flights that had been previously canceled, until returning to a full itinerary on Sunday, January 28. Additionally, we are offering new options for passengers whose itineraries have been affected:

Passengers who have confirmed a new travel itinerary may change to a new flight without additional charge, if they wish.

Passengers who do not yet have a new confirmed travel itinerary after their original flight was affected will be able to choose a new flight by calling the call center or visiting a sales office, airport or travel agency.

The airline recommends that passengers check the status of their flight on copa.com or in the mobile application, before heading to the airport.
