Island hopping
- TACV – Airline of Cape Verde
National Flights (Domestic Flights)
Until recently, the only national flights on Cape Verde were with the partially government-owned airline TACV - the Cabo Verde Airlines. The new national Halcyonair airline began its flights on 31 July 2008 offering lower fares than TACV. To the joy of all travellers, TACV responded (in the summer of 2009) and now has some fares that are even less expensive than Halcyonair!
On the national flights, the TACV uses small ATR turboprop aircraft and recently leased two new planes in Toulouse from the manufacturer ATR. Halcyonair also uses an ATR turboprop aircraft.
