Panama is home to [[Tocumen International Airport]], Central America's largest airport and the hub for [[Copa Airlines]], the flag carrier of Panama. Additionally, there are more than 20 smaller airfields in the country. (See [[list of airports in Panama]]).

Panama's roads, traffic and transportation systems are generally safe, though night driving is difficult and in some cases, restricted by local authorities. This usually occurs in [[shanty towns|informal settlements]].<ref name="travel">{{citation-attribution|{{Cite web | url=https://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_994.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204211128/http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_994.html |archive-date=December 4, 2013 |url-status = dead |date=December 4, 2013 | website= [[U.S. Department of State]] | title = Panama - County Specific Information}}}}</ref> Traffic in Panama moves on the right, and Panamanian law requires that drivers and passengers wear seat belts.<ref name=travel/> Highways are generally well-developed for a Latin American country. The [[Pan-American Highway]] travels from north to south through the country, starting at the border with Costa Rica, but ending short of Colombia at an area called the [[Darién Gap]].

The Panama City area is well served by the nearly 150 bus routes publicly operated [[Metrobus (Panama)|MiBus]] system along with the two [[rapid transit]] lines of the [[Panama Metro]]. Prior to the government operation of bus routes, Panama was served by privately operated buses called "diablo rojos" (English: red devils), which were typically retired [[school bus]]es from the United States painted in bright colours by their operators. The "diablo rojos" that remain are now mainly used in rural areas.
