The airline is also evaluating moving all of its aircraft maintenance to Panama which would bring cost savings.

The enlargement of maintenance works requires a hangar for which "the company is only waiting for the airport administrators to transfer the land in order to begin building the new structure."

"Now that the company, founded with Panamanian capital, has 85 aircraft it works out cheaper to do maintenance works locally than constantly move planes around for regular checkups."
