MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE

PRESIDENT

It was a year of important challenges that we could face thanks to the focus, team work and commit-ment of the more than 9,000 collaborators that

form part of our firm that allowed us to strengthen even with the economic challenges of the region.

We were once again recognized as the the first air-line more punctual in Latin America and the first of the world. We were recognized by the prestigious firm Skytrax in its anual survey as the “Best Airline of Central America and the Caribe”, we have the best airline personnel of Central America, we are leaders in Mexico and Central America and we have the hi-ghest credibility index of flight motors in the last 5 years.

Among these accomplishments we can mention the celebration of the 50 years of operation in Costa Rica, being the airline with the greatest continuity in this country, we extend the possibility of flights to our passengers thanks to the new shared codes with Air France and Lufthansa, we renovated our allian-ce with United Airlines and we achieved to drop our costs of 12%, in aspects no related with quality.

We are proud of having launched the new copa.com, applications for smart phones and we obtained the approval for the expansion of the Hangar, which will bring more than 300 jobs for the development of the heavy maintenances in Panama.

We continue maintaining the commitment with the environment and have introduced new measures to reduce our environmental impact and have reduced our emissions in almost 170,000 tons.

For second consecutive year, our fidelity card for fre-quent client, ConnectMiles; had a great reception. To this project we add the launching of DonateMiles, where our passengers showed their solidarity by do-nating more than 70,000 miles to those who need them. Only during the first week we achieved more than 10,000 hours of volunteering with 53 activities in Panama and Stations demonstrating that great human sensibility that is our characteristic.

With our passion, dedication and commitment, we make it easier that the families stay united, that people enjoy the marvels of our region, that com-munities where we operate grow and develop, that the businesses and professionals flourish and the human beings beneficiate. We achieved all these in the year 2016 by offering the highest service levels and the best punctuality in the world.

Now, we should look at 2017 with greater optimism, enthusiasm, and commitment. We know that our business success is in this approach of sustainability under which we work in Copa Airlines. We animate you to discover it in this report.

In the year 2016, we succeed to maintain the Copa Airlines as the airline leader in Latin America.

The Copa Holdings launched Wingo, a new service of Copa Airlines. Wingo is an airline of low cost based in Colombia that operated in the beginning to 16 destinies in ten countries of the region. The objective is to diversify the commercial offer of the Copa and assist a new segment of travelers.

Wingo covers the routes that Copa Colombia operated in domestic destinies and internation-al markets from and to Bogota, as well as some flights from the Howard airport, in Panama. Com-mercially, it is a business unit separated from Copa Airlines, that at first had a fleet of four Boe-ing 737-700 aircrafts.

This airline opens a great opportunity for those travelers who want to fly more and fly better, at a low cost and with a product customized to their needs and budget. By means of this trademark, Copa Holdings may complete its business model and take advantage of the available infrastruc-ture.

Unlike the model that Copa Airlines offers, with which the passengers can obtain a complete ser-vice with connectivity through the Hub of the Americas, under the trademark Wingo, a net, point to point, will operate, with a simple organi-zational structure and at an efficient cost.

WINGO BEGINSTO OPERATE

Our executive president, Pedro Heilbron, was named new president of the Directive Board of Star Alliance, instead of Calin Rovinescu, presi-dent and executive director of Air Canada, who was in the position the last four years.

As president of the Directive Board, Heilbron will act as designed spokesman for at least two years and will be the leader in two annual meet-ings of the board.

CLOSER TO STAR ALLIANCE

Since January 2001, we have significantly grow and have established a history of consistent profitability.

Our total operative income increased from $ 0.3 thousand million in 2001 to $ 2.2 thousand million in 2016, while

our operative margins have also increases from 8.6% to 12.4% during the same period.

Our income comes mainly form the transporta-tion of passengers, with a 96.0% at the end of 2016. The remaining 4% comes from the freight and other income.

In the past, we had a negative impact in our in-come due to the low economic performance of some countries where we operate, and in 2016, we were affected by the currency devaluation in Latin America. Nevertheless, from the fourth tri-mester there has been a growth in the demand in the region.

The financial statements of the company are available to the groups of interest in the web page.

THE GOOD CORPORATIVE GOVERNMENT OF COPA AIRLINES

IS MARKED BY THE INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY PRINCIPLES UNDER

WHICH THE MAKING OF DECISIONS IS CARRIED OUT AND WHICH EXTENDS TO

ALL THE LEVELS OF THE COMPANY.

A Through a series of policies and stan-dards, these principles turn to be a daily exercise by the form in which we relate

with our groups of interest.

The practices of good government of the com-pany are marked by the standards of the New York Stock Exchange, the principles of the So-cial Pact, the guidelines of the Stock Exchange Commission of USA and the guidelines of the National Values Commission in Panamá.

Our main government organ is the Directive Board, responsible of the supervision and con-trol of the activity of the company, with exclu-sive competence over the policies and general strategies. It is formed by twelve members of which four have independent character.

One of the main responsibilities of the Direc-tive Board is to analyze the risks, including the ethical, social, and environmental matters in the planning of the activities, that together with the search for profitability, guarantee the responsi-ble projects and operations with the capacity to generate value on a long term.

Is the responsible for the process of selection and evaluation of all the directive positions of the company (including the Executive Presi-dent). Besides, it recommends the compensa-tion and bonifications level. Its members are non-executive counselors which, at least one, is an independent counselor.

Formed by experts in a concrete area, it struc-tures in function of the matters to attend. It has as main purpose, to assess the Administration Council of the company in specific topics that may arise in particular moments. It has at least three members but they vary depending on the needs.

The internal control is other of the basic pillars in the model of good government. This commit-tee is responsible for the review of the integrity of the financial reports, the efficacy of the risk management systems and the fulfilment of the laws, policies and ethical codes.

Besides, it has the responsibility over the proce-dures of claims related with accounting, audit, and internal control matters.

We have a policy of satisfaction that establishes the measures to follow related to the non-fulfill-ment of the processes.

The ethical behavior must reflect in the de-cisions of the daily life of all the collabora-tors. For this motive, in 2016 we restruc-

tured and relaunched our ethical code making it available and closer to the collaborators. To communicate the ethical code, a strategy of in-ternal communication was developed.

This code, establishes the guidelines of behavior and commitment with the fulfilment of new val-ues, policies, principles and norms for the pro-cess of the making of decisions and execution of our daily chores.

Within the ethical code, the fulfilment topics, zero tolerance and corruption, financial trans-parency, and conflict of interest are also treated.

The Committee and the Ethical Officer have the responsibility of assuring the fulfilment of this Code. The Ethical Officer reports directly to the Executive President (CEO) and carries out peri-odical reports for the Audit Committee of the Copa with respect to the implementation and the efficiency of this Code, as well as the policies and procedures on practice to guarantee the ful-fillment of it.

NEW ETHICAL CODE

It is a service that collaborators can use to report any violation to the laws, norms, and principles contained in the Ethical Code and do it with con-fidence and confidentiality. Although it is only a suspect, the situation must be investigated to avoid bad practices. The collaborators have dif-ferent channels to denounce.

OUR MODEL OF CLIENT’S SERVICE

In 2016, we continued with our digital transfor-mation focused in presenting a better experi-ence to our clients from any platform. In that

line, we launched the new web copa.com that improved the navigation on the page and the purchasing system from any device. This page was designed to guarantee the accessibility of persons with disabilities so we have the support of the National Secretariat of Disabilities.

Our portal is, besides, our most direct channel of communication with our clients where they can accede to services as: car and hotel leasing; information and request of reimbursements and claims; report and forgotten articles, online check-in, corporative information and migratory requirements.

In that same line, the new mobile application was launched and allows our passengers to check-in, download the boarding pass to their cell phone, verify the flight status and review the ConnectMiles account, among other things. Both tools received very positive comments from the users.

The social nets have been other tools that have been maximized to be closer to our clients. Through Facebook, our clients can have di-

rect access to information of the company and an immediate response service thanks to “Ask Ana”. Besides this is our most direct channel for the launching of promotions.

With the purpose to bring Panama near to our clients, we launched Panama Hits, the new on-board channel, that gives a space to talent and culture from Panama, strengthening the interna-tional position of the country as a touristic desti-ny by excellence. It gathers work of outstanding talents of the musical industry at a national and international level such as Ruben Blades among many. All the communications with our clients are sub-jected to our transparency and veracity policy that eliminates the small letter. This has allowed us to gain our clients’ confidence. In the same way, our advertising activities are performed with respect to human rights.

Our advertising and promotional activities in-clude the use of television, newspaper, radio, and advertising fences as well as public relations events directed to the cities where we fly.

1. Inform the lowest rates available

2. Notify delays, cancellations and itinerary changes

3. Deliver the luggage on time

LOur client´s data are protected following our privacy policy. We have taken all the opportune measures to guarantee the confidentiality of data that are only used for internal purposes of the company.

These are not sold nor shared unless an authority requires them.

All the information related with purchases with credit cards trough the web site or call center is only used to complete the specific purchase for which the information was provided.

We don’t have any claims related to violation matters of confidentiality or outflow of data of our clients to third parties.

Our program of frequent traveler has had great acceptation since its launching in 2015. That year the card of Connect Miles became a digital card aligned with the efforts of the company to diminish the environmental impact. The digital card has the same benefits.

Also, through our fidelity card, we generate an alliance with Multiplaza and Metromall to im-pulse Panama as a touristic destiny for purchas-ing that allows our members to obtain miles with their purchases in these malls.

At the end of the year we launched the program Donate miles, with which our members of Con-nect Miles have the opportunity to share their miles with the institutions Obsequio de Vida and Make a Wish of Panama.

The miles donated are used to ease the displace-ment of people of low resources from Panama to any country of America or out of the region (Copa’s destinies), where medical attention is obtained.

Only in the first month we obtained a very positive response from our members who donated more than half a million miles.

We have a group of people dedicated to attend communications of our clients through a system that allows the handling of lines by agent and prioritize by type of client and situation to as-sure that we attend all our clients in the least time possible, giving complete and fair respons-es in accordance to the situation that the client exhibits.

Additionally, we have a team dedicated to the analysis of the client’s voice that is in charge of daily gathering the opinions about our service through our sources of information of clients: one of the main one is the survey that we real-ized to our clients after they finish their trip. This allows us to gather data of more than 800 clients per month.

The rate of response of the satisfaction surveys that we send our clients is between 10% and 12%, which is very healthy for the industry.

We have a sale and merchandising direct net of 71 national and international points that allow us to be near those clients that prefer more tra-ditional purchasing systems.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

The model of Copa Airlines, which we call “Agenda de liderazgo” (Leadership agen-da) aims that our leaders have the capacity

of positively influence over our team of collabo-rators. Each department is focused in obtaining their objectives, anticipating, and assuring the transparency in the making of decisions. In this way, each collaborator knows its contribution and impact in the accomplishment of their orga-nizational objectives, as well as the ones of their department.

Within this program, a monthly reunion is being held among the maximum responsibles of the

company and all the managers and directors of areas to comment the advances and challenges of the corporative strategy.

Our compensation strategy is based in a pro-gram of participation in benefits that pretends to retain the best human capital and align the interests of the collaborators and actionists. This program reflects the belief that our employees will continue to be dedicated to our success if they have a share in this success. The step of performance is based in the results of the pre-vious year.

To reach these objectives, the strategic work lines are:

Maintain Copa as one of the best places to work

Establish the plans for concrete work by areas based in the survey of the surrounding conditions of 2015

Strengthen the development of our leaders

LEADERS IN MAINTENANCE

Copa Airlines employs almost 500 professionals of maintenance, including engineers, supervisors, technics and mechanics that carry out the main-tenance in accordance with programs established by the manufacturer and approved and certified by the international aeronautical authorities.

The maintenance is carried out by the technicians of the Copa in Panama and stations outside the country. All of them are trained in accordance with the procedures of the manufacturer of the aircraft and must pass our maintenance program. The security and maintenance procedures are re-viewed and periodically audited by the manufac-turer of the aircraft. As far as they are concerned, the RAMS project helps to consolidate the man-agement and maintenance of fleets.

In 2016, we continue standing out for our quali-ty and agility in the maintenance of aircrafts. We were recognized as the best in fleet maintenance in accordance with General Electric.

The construction of the new hangar near the Air-port of Tocumen in 2018 will allow us to increase the number of maintenances that we perform in the country as well as speed up the processes. We calculate that we will need 250 more specialists.

To give a response in case there are emergen-cies, we count with the Emergencies Manual ap-proved by the Air Security Direction of the Civil Aeronautical Authority of the Republic of Pana-ma. Our Collaborators receive constant training about the procedures and policies included in this handbook

The number of

damages of aircrafts for every one thousand takeoffs decreased in

2016 up to

0.17%

SAFETY IS OUR FIRST COMMITMENT.

We put a high priority in providing a de-pendable and safe air service. We are focused in improving continuously our

performance implementing the best interna-tional practices, such as the Safety Management System (SMS), the Flight Data Analysis (FDA), the internal and external audits of operational secu-rity and the associated programs.

We have a Quality and Safety Management Di-rection, in charge of promoting a prevention cul-ture, as well as to look after the fulfillment of the safety, health, and environmental protection high standards. Farther, the General Director supervises the performance of the SMS program and makes sure that the risk is being adequately managed.

We count with an office within the Operation Vice presidency, that is the responsible of de-veloping policies, procedures and actions neces-sary to guarantee the business continuity. This includes action plans for the crisis or emergen-cies management or the recuperation before di-sasters, among others.

The Committee of Business Continuity is the di-rective group in charge of providing orientation, assessment, prioritization, and approval of the necessary resources to comply with all the pur-poses of the office.

We begin to work under the safety standards of the airport of Aviation Security. (AVSEC). This project is a combination of measures, human re-sources, and tools destined to protect us against interference acts in the sector.

The system allows us to prevent and be alerted to detect any situation than involves the safety in themes such as kidnapping and sabotage of aircrafts.

In Copa Arlines we are constantly searching for innovation in technologies and procedures to reduce the emissions and noise and recycle the greatest amount of industrial

materials generated.

In reference to the emissions of CO2, the air industry provides near 2% of the emissions in all the world so the International Air Transport

Association (IATA), organism that groups the As-sociations has proposed some measures so the airlines improve the efficiency of the fuel in an 1.5% annual between 2009 and 2020.

To begin, we have one of the youngest fleets of the region that is in constant moderniza-tion. We installed the innovators winglets and the Split Scimitar, implementing new proce-dures for navigation and we also reviewed the flight plans. With all that, we will improve the efficiency and performance of the aircrafts.

In the track, we apply a procedure of trans-

portation with only one motor, optimizing the time that the airplane maintains the motors turned on before the departure signal and constantly promote to maintain the windows closed during and after the landing to main-tain the climate in the cabin.

We have also reduced the use of units of aux-iliary power while the aircrafts are connected to the boarding tunnels in airports, and when these are towed among hangars and passen-ger’s terminals. We maintain a washing and polishing program of the fuselage and other surfaces to minimize the friction during the flight. We are searching methods and alter-natives to reduce the weight of the on-board provision.

MANAGEMENT OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALSTogether with the reduction of emissions of CO2, to mitigate our impact, we continue working under the policy of the 4Rs: Reduce-Recycle-Re-use-Reforest.

With this philosophy, we pretend to: • Take advantage of the resources we have. • Create environmental awareness and cul-

ture of the recycle. • Decrease the environmental impact of the

solid residues.• Contribute to the reduction of our carbon

tread

Under this premise, through all the year, we rec-ollected 257 tons of recyclable materials, a 32% more than in 2015. By type of material:

THESE NUMBERS DEMONSTRATE THAT IN COPA AIRLINES WE HAVE CLEAR THAT THE PRESERVATION OF THE

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT HAS CONVERT INTO A PRIORITY FOR THE

COMPANY.

The recollection of the recycle represents benefits to the environment because in the processes of manufacture we initiate with recycled materials and not with raw ma-terial. This is equivalent to:

The recycling program contemplates the burnt oil of the vehicles and the contaminated fuel drained from the aircrafts. In 2016, we subcontracted the recollection of 8,539 gallons of hydrocar-bon and its posterior conversion into fuel for industrial boilers. It was also subcontracted the recollection of 238,219.53 gallons of oily water from cleaning operations of the aircrafts and the afterwards treatment that were later returned to nature.

Additionally, we performed and alliance with Casa de las Bat-erías (Batteries House) with the purpose to recycle the batteries within our facilities. We placed eco-points in the Airport, Tooling Hangar, Tooling Line, GSE Workshop, Hangar and East Coast.
