Cape Verde Property - CVP Real Estate

Flights

The Cape Verde Islands are the nearest islands to Europe within the tropics. This makes Cape Verde a viable alternative to other Islands in the tropics such as the Caribean or the Seychelles as the flight time is approximately half at around 5 1/2 hours.

There is an international airport on Sal and a new international airport is being built in Praia, the capital of the Island of Santiago.

The west coast of Africa (Senegal) is about 500 km (300 miles) away. Existing scheduled flights to Sal Island take about five-and-a-half hours from Paris and 6 hours from Amsterdam, Milan, Munich, Frankfurt and Rome. From Lisbon, flights are three-and-a-half hours and from Las Palmas (Canaries) about one-and-three-quarter hours.

TACV (Cape Verde Airlines) operates 4 flights per week between Sal and Lisbon as well as weekly flights to Amsterdam (including Las Palmas), Munich, Boston, Fortaleza (Brazil), Paris and Milan (including Bergamo, Italy). TACV also operates flights between the existing small airport on Santiago and Dakar (Senegal), Banjul (The Gambia) and Bissau (Guinea-Bissau).

TAP-Air Portugal also operates 4 flights a week between Lisbon and Sal. South African Airways use Cape Verde as a stop-over for its flights between Johannesburg/Cape Town and New-York. LAM-Mozambiquan Airlines, and Air Angola also use Sal for stop-overs.

An "open skies" policy is now in force, permitting other airlines to fly to Cape Verde thus creating price competition and reducing air fares.
