History


Air Panamá Internacional was founded in 1968 as a joint venture between the government of Panama (67 percent) and Spanish airline Iberia (33 percent). When Iberia pulled out approximately ten years later, the airline became fully state-owned.[2]

During the 1980s, when Panama was ruled by military dictator Manuel Noriega, the route network and aircraft fleet of Air Panamá Internacional went into decline because of the worsened financial and economic situation of the company, which led to Copa Airlines emerging as the largest airline of the country. All flight operations with Air Panamá Internacional ceased in December 1989 over the United States invasion of Panama. The only aircraft of the airline at that time, a Boeing 727, was damaged beyond repair in fighting actions. In January 1990, Air Panamá Internacional declared bankruptcy.

An attempt by the government of Panama to relaunch the airline in 1993 as Panama Air International failed.[3] In 2005, Turismo Aéreo acquired the Air Panama branding and adopted that name.
