    PANAMA CITY, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Panamanian airline Copa said
on Saturday all of its flights between Panama City and Caracas
will be canceled from Sunday on the orders of the Venezuelan
government.
    "Copa Airlines regrets the inconvenience that this measure
beyond the control of the company may cause to the travel plans
of its passengers," Copa said in a statement.
    Copa did not give further details on the reason for the
cancellation, but said it would remain in constant contact with
Panama's aeronautical authorities to obtain more information and
find out when flights could be restarted.
