# Wingo Panama

La Nueva Aerolínea S.A., operating as Wingo (Panamá), is a Panamanian subsidiary of the Colombian low-cost airline Wingo, headquartered in Panama City. Its base of operations is located at Panama Pacifico International Airport, in Balboa, a district of Panama City.

## History
### Establishment

Aiming to expand business opportunities and growth of its route network through bilateral agreements between countries in South and Central America, and mainly to face the expansion of its competitors, in 2021, Wingo, a Colombian low-cost airline owned by Copa Holdings, began the certification process to obtain a Panamanian air operator certificate.
On August 12, 2021, Wingo Panama received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Panama (AAC), being authorized to begin operations from the country, exploring opportunities in the domestic market and especially on international routes. After certification, however, the airline remained dormant.

### Start of operations

On July 12, 2023, almost two years after obtaining its AOC, Wingo announced the start of operations of its Panamanian subsidiary, with the launch of domestic flights between Panama City–Balboa and David, starting August 11. The flights will be operated using Wingo's fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which have Panamanian aeronautical registration and are operated on an interchange basis between the parent company and its subsidiary. Flights are also operated under the IATA code P5, from its parent company Wingo.

#### Copa Cargo

Since March 28, 2022, Wingo Panamá has been responsible for operations carried out under the Copa Cargo brand, a cargo subsidiary of Copa Holdings based at Tocumen International Airport, operating with a dedicated Boeing 737-800BCF to destinations such as Bogotá, Guatemala City, Havana, Managua, México City, Quito, San Jose, San Salvador, Santo Domingo and Kingston.

## Destinations

Wingo Panama's commercial passenger flights are operated under the Colombian parent company's IATA code P5, with Panamanian-registered aircraft operating on an interchange basis between the parent company and the subsidiary, while cargo flights are operated under the WH code.
