Update, Promises, and Progress

Progress is difficult to measure in promises, but promises kept are the foundation of most monumental achievements. The transition from dream to reality is upon us. Based on the synergy witnessed between the private sector, and the Panamanian government, direct flights to David from the USA will be a reality in the second half of 2010. Either Air Panama or COPA airlines will fly 3 times per week from Tocumen using a code share / interlink to connect with many international routes at the tocumen hub on a 100 passenger jet. Additionally a non-stop initiative will continue, so as to insure the success of international arrivals into the city of David. Ticket bookings will begin as soon as May 2010.
