Operator Questions: Panama

What types of aircraft do operators have in Panama?
Local companies' fleets include the Fokker F50, Beechcraft B200, Cessna 208B EX, Daher Kodiak 100 Series I, Aerospatiale AS350B3, and Bell 206B-3. We select the appropriate aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.
Why look at the operator's AOC?
An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
