Copa Airlines’ Bold Expansion Plan: 13 New Jets, Massive Profits, & Unstoppable Growth! 

Copa Holdings delivered a mixed yet robust performance in the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, illustrating its resilience and operational efficiency in a fluctuating market. Positively, the company reported an operating margin of 21.9% for the year, which reflects consistent execution of its business model focused on cost efficiency and operational excellence. An increase in capacity by 8.6% year-over-year was aligned with previous guidance. This growth, however, came with a trade-off as unit revenues (RASM) decreased by 8.2% compared to 2023, resulting in $0.115 per available seat mile, mainly due to weaker currencies in Latin America and increased industry capacity in the region. Yields contracted by 10.8% year-over-year, underlining the market challenges faced.
