Tocumen International Airport (PTY)

Checked · official siteWe checked the details on the place’s own or an official website.

Panama's main international gateway and Copa Airlines' hub, about 23 km east of Punta Paitilla. It has two passenger terminals linked by a free shuttle, and the airport runs its own official taxi service plus Metro and MetroBús connections.

Good to know

Allow extra time at rush hour; the 24-minute figure is a no-traffic estimate. Copa and United flights normally use Terminal 2, while most other US carriers use Terminal 1, so check your boarding pass before taking the shuttle.
