Two New Boeings for Cape Verde


CAPE VERDE AIRLINE TO RECEIVE TWO NEW AIRCRAFTS

 
20.06.2012 - 
Cape Verde's flagship airline Transportes Aéreos de Cabo Verde (TACV) was pleased to announce the first of two Boeing 737-800s purchased from the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) in order to update its fleet in North Carolina, USA. 
Although a definite date was not provided by Carlos Carvalho, Cape Verdean newspaper A Semana predicted that the new Boeing would arrive at Nelson Mandela airport in Praia in July. 
Allowing the TACV to open up new channels to the sub-African Region, the aircraft itself has the capacity to carry just over 150 passengers. This is great news as Cape Verde longs to explore new routes as well as to boost links to Boston in the United States Of America. 
The second Boeing, which is slightly larger with a capacity of 162 passengers, is set to arrive in September. It has been predicted to operate along the Cape Verde-Portugal as well as allowing the TACV to return the Air Atlantic aircraft. 
The lease price reported from the Cape Verde's official bulletin are that TACV will make monthly payments of $310,000 (US Dollars) to a total of $2.17 million (US Dollars).
