Copa Airlines announced on February 13, 2023, that it will begin new flights from Panama City to the capitol of Texas this summer. The new route becomes the 16th US destination for the flag carrier of Panama. The news comes after the carrier announced new service to Baltimore last month.

The Live Music Capital of the World
WalletHub recognized the city of Austin in 2019 as the second-best destination for summer travel. In the past few decades, the cosmopolitan and sophisticated city has been known as the Live Music Capital of the World for becoming renowned for its live music entertainment as musicians perform around the town in clubs, bars, taco stands, and concert halls.
In addition to live music, the renowned University of Texas is home to Austin, as well as historical places, vineyards, falls, and caves. The city also features a diverse culinary scene with various unique restaurants and exciting attractions such as gardens, historic mansions, and science, technology, engineering, and math museums.

Officials also expect the new service will boost Austin's already booming tourism industry.
The new Austin route adds to the airline's continuous expansion efforts in the US, joining 14 other destinations, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orlando, Tampa, San Francisco, and Washington.
