New airline to offer direct flights to Sal from the UK this November?

NEWADMIN — Tue, 11 May 2010 09:44:17 +0000

At time of writing, Monday 10th May 2010, there are three direct flights to Sal from the UK, operating from London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester. All of these flights are operated by Thomson who for the last few years have enjoyed a monopoly on the market and for those who wish to fly direct, they can expect to pay anywhere up to £500 for a return flight. As several key resorts such as Vila Verde and Tortuga Beach Resort near completion, there is growing pressure from the local business/property owners for the Cape Verde islands to become competitive as a tourist destination and the first step of this is to get the price of the flights down.

A petition has now been setup where you can enter your name an email which will be sent to several key airlines to show the volume of interest – if you would like to support this excellent initiative by adding your name to the list please click here for low cost flights to Cape Verde
