TACV cancellations affect inter-island routes in Cape Verde
Yesterday, TACV canceled eight inter-island flights in Cape Verde, affecting connections between Praia, São Filipe, Maio, São Pedro and Amílcar Cabral. The company advises passengers to contact its services for rescheduling or refunds, while the cancellations raise concerns about overcrowding and extra costs for travelers.
Yesterday, the airline TACV announced the cancellation of eight domestic flights, particularly affecting connections between Praia International Airport and the destinations of São Filipe, Maio, São Pedro and Amílcar Cabral. The measure has affected hundreds of passengers who were relying on Sunday's flight connections for inter-island travel.
Among the canceled flights are the Praia-São Filipe (TCV4051 and TCV4052), São Filipe-Praia (TCV4501 and TCV4502), Praia-Maio (TCV4071), Maio-Praia (TCV4701), Praia-Amílcar Cabral (TCV4012) and São Pedro-Praia (TCV4201) routes.
The cancellations have caused significant disruption, as air transport is essential for mobility between the islands of the archipelago. Many passengers will have to look for alternatives, either by rebooking or taking different routes, while also running the risk of facing overcrowding on the remaining flights.
TACV recommends that affected customers contact the company directly for information on refunds or rescheduling. In addition, travelers are advised to check their entitlements and monitor the status of flights before heading to the airport.
The disruptions underline the strategic importance of Cape Verde's inter-island routes for both residents and tourists. While the cancellations have caused frustration and additional costs for some, acting quickly and staying informed can help mitigate the effects of the situation.
