Canada’s Air Transat will have flights to Panama four times a week
An increase in the frequency of flights between Canada and the Río Hato International Airport, Panama, will impact the reactivation of tourism.
The Scarlett Martínez International Airport in Río Hato will receive four weekly flights from Montreal, Canada, which will contribute to the reactivation of tourism in the central provinces.
The Panamanian Civil Aeronautics Authority, in charge of Captain Gustavo Pérez, issued the definitive operating certificate for the Air Transat airline to operate regularly to the Scarlett Martínez International Airport.
The authorization allows the company to operate four weekly flights from Montreal to Río Hato and vice versa.
The flight frequencies will be maintained throughout the year until the high season. Thus, Panamanians who have a valid Canadian visa will be able to fly from the Scarlett Martínez International Airport to Montreal.
The measure contributes to the economic and tourist growth of the country, highlighted the director of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, Captain Gustavo Pérez.
The increase in the frequency of flights with Canada will impact the reactivation of tourism, particularly in the central provinces and in the Pacific Riviera.
It should be noted that Canada is one of the priority issuing markets of the Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism, PMTS, which is executed by the Tourism Authority of Panama, in charge of Iván Eskildsen.
