Copa’s fleet, one of the youngest in the industry, now consists of 41
aircraft

PANAMA CITY, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Copa Airlines, a
subsidiary of Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE: CPA), has taken delivery of its
14th Embraer 190 aircraft. The acquisition brings the total number of
aircraft in the Panamanian airline’s fleet to 41.

“The Embraer 190 is a good fit for our airline’s growth plan, making it
possible for us to serve routes that require an aircraft of its capacity,”
said Pedro Heilbron, CEO of Copa Airlines, “We are very pleased with the
performance of this aircraft.”

Built in Brazil, the Embraer 190 aircraft are considered the most
efficient in their class. They are equipped with the most advanced
navigation technology available, reducing the pilot’s work and improving
aircraft performance. The Embraer 190 has seating for 94 passengers, with
10 in Business Class (Clase Ejecutiva) and 84 in coach. The coach cabin has
two seats on each side of the aisle, with no middle seat.

The Embraer 190 is an important part of Copa’s fleet renewal plan,
which includes the acquisition of modern aircraft equipped with features to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Copa has a companywide commitment to
environmental responsibility.

Copa Airlines’ fleet continues to be one of the youngest in the
industry with an average age of 4.1 years. In addition to its 14 Embraer
aircraft, Copa operates 27 Boeing 737 Next Generation jets.
