Copa will operate three flights per week from September 26 in the new Mexican airport.
Felipe Angeles Airport, one of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s flagship projects, has faced criticism for poor access and limited roads since it opened in March.
The Mexican government decided in May to cap flights at Mexico City’s main airport due to air safety concerns, positioning the new airport as the only way for airlines looking to expand their business in the country.
Mexican airlines such as Aeromexico, Volaris and Viva Aerobus have confirmed that they will operate from the new airport.
Delta Airlines is also expected to start flying into the Felipe Angeles hub later this year, according to the airport’s official Facebook account, but other foreign airlines have yet to confirm plans to follow, despite government speculation. .
