The National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) has approved easyJet’s new routes from Portugal to Cape Verde. The airline will now connect Porto and Lisbon airports to the island of Sal.

In the rulings published in the Official Gazette, the regulatory body states that “since the applicant (easyJet Europe) complied with the requirements for this purpose (…) authorisation is granted to operate regular air services outside the European Union, on the Porto/Sal/Porto route and on the Lisbon/Sal/Lisbon route”.

The first low-cost flight to Cape Verde from Portugal will take place on October 29, connecting Lisbon to the island of Sal. The Porto/Sal connection will follow the following day.

easyJet will offer four weekly flights between Lisbon and Sal, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Two weekly flights will depart from Porto, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, according to the airline’s CEO.

The connection between Portugal and Cape Verde will be easyJet’s first in West Africa and its first route beyond the Sahara, said the company’s general director in Portugal, José Lopes.

The company’s general director in Portugal also assured that “once these routes are consolidated, [the company will be able] to look at other destinations in Cape Verde”.
