A Cape Verde’s Civil Aviation Agency announced that the agreement is valid “for any type of aircraft and for passenger and cargo operations”.
The understanding comes after a meeting, in Praia, between delegations from agencies from both countries, with the “common objective of further increasing capacity, in order to reflect the growing demand for air services between Hungary and Cape Verde”, whose capitals are separated by around 5,300 kilometers.
Cape Verde’s airport infrastructure began construction in April (Sal, Praia, São Vicente airports and Maio aerodrome) following the concession to the multinational Vinci, which intends to bring more international flights to the archipelago.
European low-cost company Easyjet announced on Wednesday that it will start connecting the island of Sal and Portugal in October.
In April, during the visit to Praia by the Portuguese Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, the leader of the Cape Verdean Government, Ulisses Correia e Silva, said that the air agreement between the two countries will be reviewed.
Cape Verde’s hotel establishments welcomed one million guests in 2023, a new record, in line with the growth trend of the sector, which represents around a quarter of the annual wealth produced by the archipelago.
However, domestic flights remain uncertain: the concessionary company (Bestfly) closed operations in the archipelago and the state-owned Transportes Aéreos de Cabo Verde (TACV) rented planes to neighboring Senegal to maintain connections, but without being able to avoid recurring cancellations.
On Friday, the Cape Verdean deputy prime minister and finance minister, Olavo Correia, asked for the flaws to be “corrected”, sending the announcement of solutions to the next few days.
