Boeing and Copa Airlines Announce Order for up to 60 737 MAX Jets

Boeing and Copa Airlines have announced an order for 40 737 MAX airplanes, with options for up to 20 more. The agreement was signed in Panama, attended by Copa Airlines CEO Pedro Heilbron, Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Stephanie Pope, and other government representatives. Copa Airlines will expand its fleet by over 100 737 MAX airplanes, leveraging their efficiency, range, and capacity to modernize and expand its network. The airline connects 88 destinations in 32 countries across North, Central, and South America, and the Caribbean. The 737 MAX airplanes will enable Copa Airlines to fly high-density shorter flights and some of the world's longest 737 MAX routes. Boeing's Commercial Market Outlook predicts that airlines in the Latin American and Caribbean markets will need over 2,300 new airplanes in the next 20 years.
