SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Panama’s Copa Airlines said on Thursday that it is planning to retire early its fleet of 14 older Boeing 737-700 NG planes, the latest carrier to do away with planes due to the coronavirus crisis.
Copa said it will focus on a leaner fleet composed mainly of its Boeing 737-800 NG planes instead. Copa also has some new Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes, but those have been grounded worldwide since last year, after two deadly crashes.
