What this company does

Copa Holdings provides airline passenger and cargo service through its two principal operating subsidiaries, Compañía Panameña de Aviación, S.A. ("Copa Airlines") and AeroRepública. As of December 31, 2025, it operated a fleet of 125 aircraft, comprising 76 Boeing 737-Next Generation aircraft, 32 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft, 15 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft and two Boeing 737-800 BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter) aircraft. Copa currently offers approximately 436 daily scheduled flights among 84 destinations in 32 countries in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean from its Panama City hub. Copa Airlines operates from its position in the Republic of Panama, while AeroRepública operates a low-cost business model, Wingo, within Colombia and various cities in the region. Copa was established in 1947 by a group of Panamanian investors and Pan American World Airways, which provided technical and economic assistance as well as capital. Copa Holdings, S.A. was incorporated as a sociedad anónima under the laws of Panama on May 6, 1998, as the holding company for Copa and related companies, to facilitate the sale by CIASA of a 49% stake in Copa Holdings to Continental Airlines.

Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
