KLM will (re)-start the Panama route with a direct flight from Amsterdam 3 times a week commencing on March 30th 2008.

KLM already flew to Panama from 1949 till 1998.

They want to reinforce their position on the Latin American market; KLM considers Panama being one of the strongest growing economies in the region.

For connecting flights out of Panama KLM's customers can use the COPA Airlines network. This panamese airline has recently joined Sky Team as an "Associate Member".
