Issue Summary

In the Americas, Copa Airlines likes to connect almost every city that matters with almost every other city that matters. So when Copa announced last week that New Orleans will soon join its route map (see page nine), the announcement was a symbol that New Orleans… well… matters again in the eyes of airlines. The Crescent City will now have one-stop access via Panama City to and from dozens of Latin American cities large and small, including some without service from other hubs like Atlanta, Houston and even, in some cases, Miami.
