Does Panama have a good domestic flight network?

I want to travel the country, but I don’t want to have to rent a car and drive around.

Panama has an excellent network of domestic flights, that can get you to virtually any part of the country cheaply and quickly.  There are more than three domestic airstrips around the country, including on many of the islands on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts such as the Kuna Yala territory and the Las Perlas archipelago.  This makes it very easy to get around by air, as Panama is not a huge territory.  There are several airlines that ply these routes, and the two main airlines that fly domestically are Air Panama and Aeroperlas.  The main hub is the Marcos A. Gelabert airport in the Paitilla neighbourhood of Panama City, also knows as ‘Albrook Airport’.  Not all destinations have daily flights, and some are only seasonal, so you should check ahead to plan your itinerary.  Finally, there are also companies that do charter flights, and many private airstrips around the country as well.

Are there any direct flights from Panama City to Pedasí?

I know there is an airport there, are there regular flights running to the big city?

Starting February 5th 2010, Aeroperlas Regional will begin operating two flights a week from Panama City’s Marcos A. Gelabert Airport (Albrook airport)  to Pedasí.  The flight is 55 minutes long, and departs at 11:15 Mondays and Fridays.
