Copa Airlines reported that, due to the weather effects on the Tocumen International Airport on, September 27, which caused air operations to be temporarily suspended for two hours, it was necessary to divert the aircraft arriving in Panama to alternate airports such as Panama Pacific and others in Colombia.

Passengers who planned to board flights from the El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá to Panama and continue to Mexico, indicate that the itinerary was rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
