This summer, planes will be taking off from RDU to head to Panama City.
On Friday, the head of Copa Airlines talked to Raleigh business leaders about how they’ll make that happen.
"I just like to see them moving in and out and what they’re doing," Ken Stanley,Raleigh said.
The physics of flight aren’t the only thing that gets Iva’s brain burning with questions.
The airline will begin making direct flights to Panama City on June 21. Travelers can make the trip to Panama City on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
At just under 4 hours, this new direct flight makes Panama even more accessible for travelers in our region.
And those connected with the airport say, Panama has plenty to offer in return.
This is the latest airline to contribute to RDU's expansion. In 2024, the airport saw a record breaking number of spring break travelers – 1.2 million. That’s almost a 7% increase from this past March.
