Binter made its debut in Cape Verde in 2012 and its planned expansion will mark its first intra-African operation. The growth is being facilitated by the arrival of new regional turboprop equipment in its Canary Islands based fleet freeing up older aircraft to be redeployed into Cape Verde.
The route will operate from the city of Praia on the island of Santiago and will provide connection opportunities for inbound and outbound travel from/to other Cabo Verdean islands: Fogo, Sao Vicente, Sal and Boa Vista. The link will be flown by a Boeing 757-200 configured with 210-seats.
