ABL Aviation has delivered a fifth aircraft to Copa Airlines under an ongoing eight-aircraft mandate, with the latest handover completed on 21 May 2026.
The newly delivered aircraft is a Boeing 737-8 MAX, placed with Copa Airlines as part of ABL Aviation’s current leasing and investment programme with the carrier. This transaction represents the fifth unit under the specific eight-aircraft mandate and reflects the continued execution of the agreed delivery schedule.
Within this mandate, the fleet mix covers both Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, with three additional deliveries still scheduled later in 2026. The current announcement concerns a single aircraft delivered as of 21 May 2026 and does not change the overall mandate size, which remains at eight aircraft.
From an industry perspective, the continued roll-out of this mixed 737-800 and 737-8 MAX programme highlights the active role of leasing and investment structures in supporting Copa Airlines’ fleet planning over the course of 2026.
