In yesterday's edition of
La Prensa (Nicaragua) there was an article that Mario Solano, their CEO, was in Managua to celebrate COPA's 35th anniversary of service to Nicaragua. During the interview, he revealed that COPA's plans are for an Embraer fleet size of 50 aircraft!
“De momento está firmado un contrato para la adquisición de los primeros 10 aviones que reforzarán vuelos adicionales hacia El Salvador y Bogotá, Colombia, así como cubrir el destino de Canadá, donde aún no llegamos”, adelantó Solano.

"Until now we have signed a contact for the aquisition of the first 10 aircraft which will be used on additional flights to El Salvador, Bogota and to inaugurate service to Canada, where we do not fly to yet."
Does the Embraer 190 have the range to fly MPTO to, say, CYYZ or has Mr. Solano been misquoted???
