Cabo Verde Airlines warns of possible changes to flights to and from Lisbon

Flights VR606 and VR607, scheduled for this Wednesday, the 11th, may be subject to changes, according to Cabo Verde Airlines. This is due to the adverse weather conditions forecast for Portugal as Depression Charles passes through.

The alert comes as weather conditions in Portugal continue to worsen. According to RTP, the passage of Depression Charles, combined with Depression Bruna, has led the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) to place eight districts under a red alert.

The forecast calls for worsening weather conditions in Madeira by the end of the day and on mainland Portugal on Wednesday.

The airline urges passengers to follow updates and confirm the status of their flights before heading to the airport.

Cabo Verde Airlines also states that it will continue to monitor weather conditions, with safety as its top priority.

The national soccer team, which is currently training in Portugal and was scheduled to return on Wednesday, has also moved up its flight to tonight, according to a statement from the Cape Verdean Soccer Federation (FCF).

“Due to weather conditions, the national team’s training schedule has been altered; consequently, the return to Cape Verde, previously scheduled for tomorrow has been moved up to today. For transportation reasons, the team will travel to Sal Island, where it is scheduled to hold a training session tomorrow morning, and will travel to Praia in the afternoon,” the FCF stated.
