Tocumen International Airport is Panama's largest and busiest airport, serving as the primary international gateway for the country. Located approximately 24 kilometers east of Panama City, it handles tens of millions of passengers annually and is one of the most important aviation hubs in Latin America. The airport serves as the main hub for Copa Airlines, which leverages Panama's geographic position at the crossroads of North and South America to offer extensive connecting flights across the Western Hemisphere. A major expansion project added a new Terminal 2, significantly increasing capacity and modernizing passenger facilities. Tocumen has earned a reputation as a preferred connecting hub in the region due to its central location, efficient operations, and Copa Airlines' robust route network. It consistently ranks among the top airports in Latin America for international passenger traffic.
