Stansted gains Cape Verde link
Cape Verde Airlines is to start flights to the Atlantic islands destination from Stansted this winter
The national flag carrier of the Cape Verde Republic is to run a weekly service to Praia on the island of Santiago on Monday and a Thursday flight to the primary international airport on Sal Island from October 29.
The airline, also known as TACV (Transportes Aéroes de Cabo Verde), will use a 160-seat Boeing 757 on both routes in a two-class configuration. Both flights have been timed to allow onward connections to Fortaleza in north eastern Brazil.
Fares start at £396 including tax in economy. Tickets sales will be commissionable to agents at 7%.
UK sales and marketing manager Neil Silvester said: “The recent rapid growth in UK tourism arrivals to the Cape Verde Islands has meant additional airlift has been essential to keep up with this demand.
“A growing number of British second home owners on this Atlantic archipelago have also fuelled the need for two direct flights a week with TACV.”
