TACV (Cabo Verde Airlines) has canceled 14 domestic flights in recent days, affecting travel between the islands of Santiago, Sal, São Vicente, and Fogo. The cancellation left hundreds of passengers stranded at major airports, including Amílcar Cabral, Praia, São Pedro, and São Filipe.
The airline cited "operational difficulties" as the reason, without elaborating. The disruptions affected essential routes for tourists, businesspeople, and residents, disrupting inter-island connections and the transportation of passengers who depend on these routes for their daily commutes.
TACV advises passengers to contact us for refunds or rebooking, although availability of alternative flights is limited. This situation highlights the fragility of domestic air connections in Cape Verde, where air transport is vital for mobility and the local economy.
