Jun 12, 2019 (newstodate): Now on firm footing with Icelandic majority ownership, Cabo Verde Airlines is engaging on a new chapter of expansion and development.
In March 2019, Loftleidir Cabo Verde, owned 70 percent by Loftleidir Icelandic ehf, and 30 percent by Icelandic investors, acquired 51 percent of Cabo Verde Airlines after a period serving as strategic partner with Cabo Verde Airlines and the Government of Cabo Verde.
In co-operation with other subsidiaries of the Icelandair Group, Loftleidir Icelandic provided managerial support including network planning, marketing, sales and distribution planning as well as restructuring of Carbo Verdian carrier's fleet.
The restructuring process also aims at turning Ilha do Sal Airport into the carrier's main hub for traffic between Africa, North America and Europe.
In the fleet of Carbo Verde Airlines are now three Boeing 757-200 aircraft, with two more to be added before the end of this year, serving a route network comprising flights to Fortaleza, Recife, Brazil, Lisbon, Paris and Milan as well as to Boston and Washington.
Plans are also to add two new destinations per year, and flights to new African destinations are high on the list.
