Cabo Verde Airlines (IATA: VR), formerly known as TACV, is the national flag carrier of Cape Verde. Founded in 1958, it has grown from a domestic inter-island operator to an international airline connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas from its main hub at Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID) on Sal Island. The state-owned airline offers scheduled flights to destinations including Lisbon, Recife, and Providence (USA), serving both tourists and the Cabo Verdean diaspora. With a compact fleet of two ATR 72-600 turboprops for regional routes and Boeing 737 narrowbodies for longer sectors, it emphasizes connectivity across three continents. Despite operational challenges including past delays and service disruptions, the carrier maintains a 3-Star Skytrax rating and continues rebuilding its network with modern aircraft like the 737 MAX 8. Its distinctive role as Cape Verde's primary international airline makes it essential for travel to this Atlantic archipelago nation.
