In October 2016, the carrier announced a new route between Costa Rica and Roatan. An alliance between Air Panama and the Honduras Tourism Board will allow Costa Ricans to travel from San José to Roatán in Honduras with just one stop in Panama. Roatán is an island in the Caribbean which rests on an exposed coral reef, and it provides great opportunities for scuba diving. White sandy beaches and pristine waters have made of Roatán one of the most popular places in Honduras.  

Flights to the San Blas Archipelago with Air Panama

The airline flies to destinations in the Guna Yala region on the airfields of Achutupo (ACU), Corazon de Jesus (CZJ), El Porvenir (PVE), Malatupo (MPP), Playón Chico (PYC) and Puerto Obaldía (PUE).

About the San Blas  

The San Blas archipelago of Panama comprises of 365 islands and cays, of which only 49 are inhabited. They stretch all the way down from the north coast of the Isthmus of Panama all the way to the east of the Panama Canal.

One of their main exports is coconuts, which until recently was considered the San Blas'  major forms of currency.
