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).
