Cabo Verde Airlines Seeks to Restart United States Operations

Cabo Verde Airlines is planning to restart flights to the United States as part of its broader strategy to expand international connectivity and strengthen its long‑haul network.

The airline previously operated services between the island nation of Cabo Verde and several destinations in the United States, serving both tourism demand and the large Cabo Verdean diaspora living in North America.

Restarting US operations would represent an important step in rebuilding the carrier’s international presence following disruptions to global air travel in recent years. The airline is currently evaluating regulatory requirements and operational planning necessary to relaunch the routes.

Cabo Verde Airlines operates from its hub at Amílcar Cabral International Airport on Sal Island, which serves as a strategic gateway connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The carrier has been working to position itself as a transatlantic connector between continents.

Resuming US flights could help boost tourism to Cabo Verde while also improving connectivity for travelers and business links between the island nation and North America.

Airlines across Africa are increasingly exploring opportunities to expand transatlantic routes as travel demand continues to recover and international networks gradually grow.

Further announcements regarding specific destinations, schedules, and aircraft deployment are expected once the airline finalizes its operational plans.
