Copa Airlines Boeing 737-800 (Revised Livery with Split Scimitar Winglets)

As mentioned in previous posts, the Boeing 737 has been Copa’s main airplane of their history. Copa Airlines has been a loyal Boeing customer since the 1980s when their first Boeing 737 arrived to their fleet.

Back in 2012, a few years after Boeing launched the Boeing 737 MAX program, Copa Airlines started studying the possibility of adding the airplane as part of their plans to modernize their fleet. It wasn’t until 2015 when Copa Airlines and Boeing formally announced the official order of 61 737 MAXs, the largest purchase made by a Panamanian airline, the order’s total cost was of $6.6 billions, $1.35 billions more than the Panama Canal expansion project.

The announcement was made during the 7th Summit of the Americas held at Panama City on April 15th, 2015. The people present at the event were US president Barack Obama, Panamanian president Juan Carlos Varela, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney, Copa Holdings chairman Stanley Motta and Copa Airlines CEO Pedro Heilbron.

The airplane of the order, a Boeing 737 MAX 9 registered HP-9901CMP, arrived at Panama on August 31st, 2018, and thus becoming the first Latin American customer of the 737 MAX 9.

As I always stressed and highlighted, the Copa Airlines livery in Infinite Flight is outdated and needs a rework. Below the key features that are not present:
