29 Airlines Most Likely to Cancel Your Flight (And How to Avoid Them)

29. Copa Airlines – Hub Bottlenecks in Panama

Copa Airlines, based in Panama City, runs a highly connected hub-and-spoke model—but that centralization can be its weakness. A single disruption at Tocumen International can ripple across dozens of onward flights. Weather in the region and occasional airport construction further complicate operations. While Copa generally has solid service, their cancellation handling can be slow, especially for overnight rebookings. Travelers should avoid super-tight layovers and, if possible, opt for Copa’s earlier flights to maximize rebooking options in case of disruption.
