[/quote]Or the return of the milk-runs..[/quote]
I once did this milk run on AV MSY-SAL-GUA-SJO-PTY . Same thing to get back, trying to flee hurricane Ivan in 2004.

Re: Central American Aviation Thread - 2019

Seems that demographics favour AV SAL-SAN over CM PTY-SAN. Lets see if CM statistics on % PTY-LAX-PTY passengers who are actually SAN O/D gives CM the boost to start PTY-SAN. IMHO, PTY-PHX would likely come before PTY-SAN. I think SEA would be a nice fit for PTY and CM. Does somebody knows what del...

Re: Where is COPA going next in the US?

remember that copa has an ageing fleet of -700's and 800's. CM will continue to "inherit" those planes to WINGO to continue on their LCC business plan. CM's eldest 737 is from 2000, and the 800's date from 2003. I don't see CM adding more routes, but consolidating what they have, increasin...

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 65

I wonder what would copa do with Avianca, they would have to sell all their planes to achieve comonality? It's not a matter about the commonality of planes between CM and AV. AV is apparently experiencing lack of cash and they're seeking new sources, in the short-time. Regards. The lack of cash com...

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 65

in my opinion DL should have put a bid for CM instead of AV (altough it wouldnt be accepted). a DL-CM alliance would make more sense for them, AF and KLM already serve panama on a daily basis, with the JV with aeromexico, it would only make sense for DL to have an operation in Panama. I wonder what ...

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 65

Why no CM to Europe? this has been discussed many other times, its a different strategy that is a proven business model that actually brings profits consistently. smaller planes, more frequencies connecting to one hub, one type rating for pilots makes them have only one training facility, same with...

Re: RUMOR: New Copa Holdings low cost airline upcoming?

I would be very surprised if this comes to fruition because Copa is already a semi LCC. They have some cheap fares from the US to South America. The only possible LCC routes for Copa would have to be their Caribbean and other very leisure heavy, short haul tourist routes. A LCC product on longer ro...

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 65

just got a message that a new airline called wingo is starting soon. details soon to come.

Just recieved the news of Wingo Airlines being Launched. Presumably LCC by CM. No official news yet. maybe someone has more info on this.

RE: How Pilots Become "Heavy" Plane Pilot?

CM will hire you directly to F/O in either the ERJ, or the 73NG, both aircraft have the same pay, and requierments, they just choose you to either one. In some cases with the new hires, it happened that they got rated in 73NG, and then where moved to ERJ. Also Captains where trained for the ERJ type...
