Copa airlines resumed flights with its MAX fleet, flying from Panama City to San Jose, Costa Rica. Copa quietly decided to restart the services and without further notice, the airline pushed forward the resume of operations with the Boeing 737 MAX. Originally, Copa was expected to operate the MAX on January 4.

The Panamanian airline followed Aeromexico’s steps, which also pushed forward (by three days) the resume of operations of the MAX. But Copa went even further and went under the radar as the public eye was on American Airlines flight 718.

It came as a surprise for everyone in Latin America to see flight CM806 operated with a Boeing 737 MAX 9. According to FlightRadar24.com, flight CM806 departed from Panama City at 10:55 local time. Copa used its MAX HP-9906CMP. The airline currently has seven MAX after becoming the first non-US carrier to receive a new aircraft after the grounding.

Copa airlines made it official that they have resumed services slowly and in time will restart properly, and officially they have thought of keeping  January 4 as the resumption date for our 737 MAX-9 fleet. And from the data the operation will continue to other destinations such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, in the US; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Montevideo, Uruguay, among others.

So far, four carriers have brought back the Boeing 737 MAX after 20 months grounded. The first was GOL Linhas Aereas in Brazil, followed by Aeromexico and American Airlines. Now, Copa Airlines is the fourth, but it is also the first to operate it on an international flight.
