don nicholas, I am a Copa passenger with a Presidential category which I am going to lose, Since I can't fly the route to LAX with you anymore, because I start in David and I have to wait 9 time to continue. Traveling from Ezeiza 5 hours for the connection to David. this is crazy and sadly i will stop using the company.
Hi leandro, Thanks for your comment. Okay, Copa is not my airline, I only inform about this news. What do you mean David?? The airport?
Excellent initiative of the central government and the GAD of Manta for this flattering news that will benefit many Manabitas to have this route to Panama and connections, out centralism guayaco and serranos
It's good news, I don't understand what centralism has to do with it, but thanks for your comment.
Good news so I can go out and enjoy the country of Panama
And to many other destinations!
Hello there
We request reopening of flights between Ecuador and Holguín Cuba please.
don't torture us anymore.
It is an emergency in the Eastern zone 🙏
hello velma, Ecuador to Cuba direct there have been no flights for many years.
Thanks for the info Nicholas.. Manta the third destination of Copa Airlines, very positive without a doubt but what happened to Cuenca? At first instance there would be more demand from the Ecuadorian austro, people who would rather go to Cuenca and take a connecting flight than go to Guayaquil or Quito…
Cuenca your problem is the restriction of the track length.
WOW how great that Manta has those flights, I long for the day that this happens to Cuenca, Meanwhile, seeing the great reactivation of this airport is great, It is a very nice airport and province
Hi Joaquin, Unfortunately, the length of the Cuenca track harms this type of initiative, otherwise, they would have flights long ago.
AS ECUADORIANS WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS NEW NEWS FROM COPA AIRLINE TO THE AGREEMENT THAT HAS ARRIVED TO RESOLVE THIS DILEMMA AND WHICH WILL ALSO BE VERY PROSPEROUS FOR PANAMANIAN AIRLINE WHERE THE ECUADORIAN TAX PROPOSED WILL RECEIVE ITS PROFITS AND THE CITY OF MANTA THE PUBLIC IS VERY HAPPY AND WE ARE A MARRIAGE AND WE ARE ALSO CLIENTS OF COPA AND WE USE ITS SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS TRAVELING WE ARE REGULAR TRAVELERS 1/26/23
Thanks for your comment.
This is very good, it was a while ago that I had this connational flight from New York to Manta. I hope it will be very soon. I congratulate you
You can fly to New York via Panama with a short connection time.
until it was given , Hopefully the prices are not outrageous and allow us to go shopping or take a trip to Panama, which has an immense variety in the outlets in Panama City or Colon, as well as beautiful beaches , The tour operators must get their act together and the manabas must not let them die. This route is ours, we must support it. .
The prices vary, That's why I recommend listing on the website, although I'm sure there will be promotions.
incredible news! With this international connection, the opportunity of more national flights to Manta can be opened? To say from Cuenca or from Guayaquil to connect in another way. If Equ Air wanted to fly to Manta.
Could be a possibility in the medium term, but they don't necessarily come hand in hand.
