Today i opening the My First Panamanian Ficitonal Airliner. This is VICSA. (Vías Aéreas de Coclé S.A) or Vías Aéreas de Coclé. Is a Panamanian ficitional-airline that operates his hub in Rio Hato Airport. The airliner secondary hub is in Tocumen Intl. Airport,

HISTORY

Before the airliner called Vías Aéreas de Coclé, was called VIAECP
(Vías Aéreas de Estado de Coclé-Panamá), that airliner was founded in 1939, after late 1940’s the VIAECP Changed his name to VICSA in 1956. the airline have an incredible successful passagers transport. the airline was sold (not all operations) by Copa, the airliner take 90% of the airline, the other % was independient.

in 1971. A VICSA Douglas DC-6B Disintegrated in the air by a Strong storm in Bocas de Toro after covering the Río Hato-San José route. One person fortunately survived, although a year later he died of skin cancer. This event almost caused the company to go bankrupt, but due to the U.S. invasion of Panama, it had to suspend its flights until the war ended.

In 1992, the airline purchased 71 Airbus A310s. To cover the routes of Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, and Rome via Barcelona, taking off from Tocumen. As I said earlier, it's secondary hub. Today, Due to an A310 that protruded from the runway in 2023, the airline almost went bankrupt like the other time in 1971 with the Douglas, the airline continues to operate today, but is almost forgotten.
