Nov 28, 2017 (newstodate): Two Boeing 757-200 aircraft from Icelandair are now operating during this winter schedule for Cabo Verde's IOSA-certified national airline TACV Cabo Verde Airlines.
The aircraft lease arrangement is part of the management agreement announced in August 2017 between the Government of Cabo Verde and the Loftleidir Group for the restructuring of the loss-making TACV Cabo Verde Airlines.
The aim of the agreement is to position TACV as a key strategic asset contributing to Cabo Verde's potential as a year-round tourist destination, and to develop Cabo Verdes position as a transfer hub with a CAT 1 airport linking four continents.
As a strategic partner with TACV and the Government of Cabo Verde, and in co-operation with other subsidiaries of Icelandair Group, Loftleidir Icelandic will provide managerial support including network planning, marketing, sales and distribution planning as well as restructuring of TACVs fleet that today comprises only one Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
Plans are to develop the Cabo Verde Sal Airport as a hub for air traffic between Africa and North America and between Europe and South America.
