COCESNA, through AIM, in cooperation with Copa Airlines (COPA), successfully completed the simulator validation of the new RNP-AR approach procedures developed in Panama City on September 19, 2025, for the Palmerola and Ramón Villeda Morales airports in Honduras.
The activity was held on September 17 and 18 at the COPA Training Center in Panama City, with the participation of COCESNA officials Dennis Orlando Mejia and Karen Fonseca, and COPA Captains Donovan Ortega and Ricardo Wong, who performed the tests with outstanding results.
These new procedures will reduce flight miles, optimize operational efficiency and strengthen operational safety at both airports, reaffirming COCESNA and COPA’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in Central American aviation.
