  • Operating income for 2Q17 came in at US$83.0 million, representing a 139.9% increase over operating income of US$34.6 million in 2Q16, as a result of 8.6% additional capacity, a 7.5% increase in unit revenue per available seat mile (RASM), and a 1% decrease in unit costs.  Operating margin for 2Q17 came in at 14.4%, compared to an operating margin of 7.0% in 2Q16.

  • Copa Airlines reported consolidated on-time performance of 85.1% and a flight-completion factor of 99.7% for 2Q17, maintaining its position among the best in the industry.
