ABL Aviation Delivers Sixth Boeing 737-8 to Copa Airlines

ABL Aviation has delivered its sixth Boeing 737-8 to Copa Airlines this year, continuing the lessor’s long-standing partnership with the Panamanian carrier.

The aircraft, powered by CFM LEAP-1B27 engines, supports Copa Airlines’ ongoing fleet modernization program as the airline continues expanding its fuel-efficient narrowbody fleet. Two additional Boeing 737-8 aircraft are scheduled for delivery before the end of 2026.

The latest delivery forms part of a phased multi-aircraft leasing program between the two companies, highlighting ABL Aviation’s continued support for Copa Airlines’ fleet growth and financing strategy. The Boeing 737-8 offers improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and reduced operating costs compared with previous-generation aircraft, making it a key component of the airline’s fleet renewal efforts.
