New Tocumen Terminal Gets Rave Review

Travel Pulse magazine gives a big thumbs up to the new Terminal 2 at Tocumen International Airport. The terminal is not only bigger, but it’s also better, making it easier to get around and enjoy a more relaxing time before and after flights, the article notes.

The beautiful new terminal boosts the airport’s capacity and “just as importantly, the new facility improves the passenger experience in many ways, as I discovered during my recent visit to Panama,” Mark Chesnut writes. “Travelers passing through Terminal 2 will find a spacious concourse, soaring ceilings, and lots of natural light, thanks to the gigantic windows that also provide prime viewing conditions for plane-spotting fanatics like me.” 

The new 116,000-square-foot terminal “is a welcome and much-needed addition to the bustling airport, with 20 new gates, 38 Copa Airlines ticket counters, and 22 self-service kiosks,” the article notes. For anyone flying Copa, the terminal changes everything about the journey, providing modern customs and immigration areas, as well as shops and a food court.

Chestnut also notes that Copa customers will “find lots to love at the new Copa Airlines Club, a stylish oasis that offers more than 20,000 square feet of space for relaxation and productivity and is described by Copa as Central America’s largest airline club.”

“The venue is both attractive and highly functional, with a 420-guest capacity and amenities including a bar, food service area and even showers and a business center,” the article notes.

As Copa continues to expand and link Panama to countries around the world, the new terminal is a giant step forward. “The new Terminal 2 … is an important component to continue strengthening the competitiveness of the Hub of the Americas,” Marco Ocando, marketing and frequent flyer program senior director at Copa Airlines said.

We wholeheartedly agree. For all our international clients, the new terminal makes travel to Panama all that much easier. Haven’t seen the new terminal yet? Come check it out!
