The new Terminal 2 at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City adds 20 gates to those of the existing Terminal 1 to achieve an estimated total capacity of 25 million passengers per year, thus solidifying the country's status as the Hub of the Americas. Designed using state-of-the art performance-based seismic design methodology and an innovative energy-dissipating column fuse detail, the terminal fulfills its mission as a seismic-resilient essential facility.
