Private Flights to/from Panama City, Panama
Air Charter Advisors offers on-demand private jet charter services in Panama City, a colorful modern metropolis and the historic capital of Panama.
Panama City is located along the Pacific Ocean at the entrance of the Panama Canal, and serves as the country’s political, administrative, financial, and commercial center.
Panama City is a prime destination for offshore banking and tax planning since the expansion of the Panama Canal, along with increased real estate investment and a stable banking sector with around 80 banks in the city, around 15 of which are local. The local economy is focused on services that drive the banking, commercial, and tourism industries.
In recent years, the city has seen a sharp rise in skyscrapers and wealthy residents, earning the nickname the Dubai of Latin America. At one point, the hotel occupancy rate in rate even surpassed Dubai, reaching the 2nd highest rate of any city outside of the United States in 2008.
There are several international chains available in the area, including Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, InterContinental, Le Méridien, Radisson, and RIU — the Trump Ocean Club, the tallest building in the city, was renamed The Bahia Grand Panama in 2018 due to low occupancy rates associated with the rapidly declining brand.
