The airlines claim there is a need to improve air traffic management at Tocumen airport, because "it is useless to have a new terminal if the planes cannot land."

Panama is at risk of losing competitiveness to other air hubs, such as Bogotá, if it does not take measures to reduce air congestion at Panama City's international airport, where 3 to 7 minutes delays are reported on flights, due to the fact that the number of air channels is not sufficient for the number of frequencies that operate there.
